And spare my people—this is my request.  For I and my people have been sold to be destroyed, killed and annihilated. If we had merely been sold as male and female slaves, I would have kept quiet, because no such distress would justify disturbing the king. " Esther 7:3-4 TREES Refraction is the bending of light (it can happen with sound, water and other waves) as it passes from one transparent substance into another.  Trees are a passion for me especially in winter just as spring hits. The spirit and the shape of branches of each tree is unique.  The painting was to celebrate the beauty of the design of the bra

He has that gift of bringing out the best in everyone and making each of us feel connected with the Father. We had a quiet, meditative, gentle service yesterday with guitar, piano and new music and songs for our old minds to stretch around.  The best part for me was the prayer and as Jack put it, the bookends to our prayers with music.   Hear our Prayer Lord. Jack ask us to reflect on commun

Laurie     © Laurie Justus Pace     Graphics One Design 2010 My Website   Thinking ahead to the Thanksgiving celebration next week, I remembered back to those previous dinners that I cooked, served, ate quickly, and cleaned up.  This is how I felt.  It is probably strange...even for me but I had the best fun sketching it out and painting it. We lost another dear family member this week. She has celebrated her 'continuation' day and is now with her mom and dad and her other cousins.  She leaves behind a family that will always celebrate her gentleness.  My aunt was special to all of us. She loved each of us dearly for who we were and was always ready with a hug or a 'good job'.    My memories are of breakfast pastries smeared with butter on top. It was not like they were not sweet enough as they were, but at her small kitchen table I lathered my special pastry wi
Early Evening Dusk ~ Horse Painting by Laurie Justus Pace 24 x 36 inches Oil on Canvas CONTEMPORARY ART for your home. This is a second in this series of reflections. The first one was in coffee colors and this one is in blues! I noticed after I posted two paintings last week with horses and reflections there are several artists inspired on to paint horses and reflections! Paint on! Gee, did I sleep last night? I was here in the studio working until eleven. Fell into bed and slept and I am back here at seven. I just finished my bible study ...it is on David in 1 Samuel. Pretty deep reading tying in the bond of the covenant between David and Jonathan and the bond with three with the Father. Then the covenant through the bread given to us as when Jesus says He is the bread of life....so much to reflect on this morning as I paint. I had a comment on yesterday's work from Blue (Michael) and I wanted to email him and didn't know how...so if you are reading this, I did leave a c
RED CELEBRATION ~ Abstract Horse Painting by Laurie Justus Pace 18 x 27 inches Oil on Gallery Wrapped Canvas Contemporary Art for your home! SOLD Too much chocolate. I made a triple layer Droste (yes all organic) chocolate birthday cake for Justin yesterday. Made triple Chocolate Droste Icing for the three layer cake and it was chocolatey! YUMMM...we made sure we sent half the left overs with the grandson and took the other half of the left over cake to Rachel across the street. I am fooded out beyond belief. This above painting was sheer joy to paint, a celebration of the energy in life and the passion of color and the beauty of all the palette God provides around us. I hope it makes you grin, or laugh even. Laughter is a gift from the Lord for us to release super good warm fuzzies into our body. I always told my husband I was born with out a funny bone. I never cared to read the funnies in the newspaper and I don't seem to laugh out loud much when others are laughing, but
NUDE TWO ~ Contemporary Art by Laurie Justus Pace 22 X 28 inches Oil on Canvas SOLD WOW, we went to the mirror and the mask exhibit at the Kimball Museum in Ft Worth. It was quite a gathering of portraits and such from some renown artists...My brother Kirk and Sister in law Leslie spurred the trip on and we ended up a Caro's. Caro's is a f a b u l o u s FABULOUS Mexican Restaurant near the TCU campus. Perhaps that is why I am up at Three a.m.! TOO Much good food. Poor Terry needs his sleep. Hopefully I will go back in and crash later this morning. Meanwhile I am keeping it WAY quiet in the house. I will be starting a new painting after watching a quiet sunset on the way home in the car...triggered some thought to paint at least. IF you live in the Dallas area, I will be plugging the Arboretum show next weekend. I am in booth A22. BOOTH, egads, white tent, need to call Debbie and find out WHEN she is coming with the tent. I do not do tent shows. This is a major
MORNING LIGHT HAZE 30 x 30 inches Oil on Gallery Wrapped Canvas A Painting a Day SOLD It is early this morning, not quite Five a.m. We both woke up hot about an hour ago. He is snoring again...I am in the studio. Thought I would knock the blog out and then prepare his breakfast and lunch to get him out the door. This painting was finished yesterday. Inspired by a photo I saw years ago of a murky morning with haze and light intermixed, tones of yellow, caramel and white blend to create the background. The horses are done in bold browns, golds, turquoise and oranges. It is quite peaceful, but not my usual as far as palette goes. I may be experimenting again. Life is full! Fullness of Joy! Contemplation here. Remembering back to my teenage years and my grandmother and her wisdom when I would always ask about happiness. It always seemed so elusive then. Age has found a peace with contentment of what is in the moment. Each moment you breathe is JOY. Stop today and breathe slowly t
