  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013 Color Fast 24 x 30 inches Oil on Canvas.  From the tight sketch with black paint to the heavy stroking of palette knife oil... you have the finished painting. I am learning less it best as I begin to examine different approaches to the canvas. Cannot wait to paint again tomorrow. Need to order more canvas as I have gone through two full orders of my specially stretched canvas from Rupen at http://canvasplace.com  He uses special smooth canvas on my ordered pieces, not the norm. I do not want a toothy surface to work on.   I imagine God would not like a 'toothy surface' to work on with us either, but being human we tend to really get dirty in life. We are full of mars and scratches and rough on the edges.  He is ever patient with us waiting for us to let go and let Him lead. It would be less wear and tear on our lives.   Keep it simple. Lau...

  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013 Continued Painting on Early Morning Race 28 x 42 inches Oil on Canvas.  Pushing further into development today, I did get to spend as much time painting as I wanted to.  I am still trying to find my way with the spirit of each horse in the composition.  I have not decided if they are at a racetrack or where they are. The area that is structured on the right, blues and reds, almost look like the stands. Music in the studio today was Norah Jones... a favorite to paint by when I am trying to figure things out. May your Wednesday be filled with His peace.

Was surprised to find this verse after writing about the 'toos' yesterday that seem to take over our lives.  This is the verse you read with peace knowing you gave it all up... the foolishness, the pleasures and the passions.  Before that you were a 'busy bee'.   Click here to read more.
