"Visions" 18 x 24 inches Oil on Canvas SOLD Contact me for Commission Work: Laurie © Laurie Justus Pace Graphics One Design 2006 " My son, if you accept my words and store up my commands within you, turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding, and if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God. " Proverbs 2:1-5 "Visions" Every father has visions for life. At first as a young boy the dreams are of "what will I be when I grow up?" Some little boys want to play professional sports, some want to be mailmen... I have no clue what my dad's visions were as a child. I know by the time he was a young teenager, he worked to support his family. There were four children. My grandfather played baseball for the St Louis team back then in the late thirties, ear...

A Painting a Day ~THREE UP ~ Palette Knife Oil Painting Horse Art by Laurie Pace Three Up 48 x 48 inches Oil on Canvas SOLD Contact me for commission work: Laurie © Laurie Pace 2009 “ May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope. ” Romans 15: 13 A Painting A Day: Contemporary horses created with layers of palette knife paint, oils and impasto are apart of this painting. This was a commission piece for a very special doctors office opening here in Dallas. Color and energy are all apart of the healing process...waking the body to the "good news" of life through empathetic viewing , as energy passes from the canvas to the viewer. My thoughts for the day: The last time I was really sick was about a year ago in February when I had the flu and we had no heat, no hot water, and partial electricity. Go back and read my blogs from then. It was not a pretty thing. Terry would trot ...

THREE YOUNG PONIES ~ Horse Art by Laurie Justus Pace Oil on Three Canvas Panels 12 x 24 inches each, totaling 24 x 36 in size. SOLD Contact me for commission work. email: Laurie Tuesday is dawning slowly. I have been busy gathering up pieces for a new store in Marble Falls Texas. I have two commission pieces to do for the Stanges and their new store as well as some gorgeous canvas Giclees. LARGE ones. They are all embellished and I cannot even begin to describe the creativity and delight that went into these! In some ways it is so critical as you embellish and in others it is like icing a cake and doing all the decorations. I had not printed the large Canvas Giclees on my printer until last night. Terry and I were mesmerized by the clarity and color. There are tremendous in quality. Each is hand embellished (which takes about an hour of time with the size they are) and hand signed again. I printed up some posters for him too and have one of my new The Painted Pony Book S...

Morning Race ~ Abstract Horse Oil Painting by Laurie Justus Pace 18 x 27 Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas Contact me for Pricing Laurie Six a.m. Wow I slept in today! Terry is still asleep but there is much to do so I am up as always working. Today is ship and pack day and I must have all my work ready for shipping so he can pack it. I am patiently waiting for a canvas order to arrive. I am down to almost nothing to paint on. Very frustrating. I spoke with Stacey last night and she bought bacon for 50 cents. She said it was five dollar bacon but with all her coupon adjustments it was only fifty cents. Sounds like she could do this coupon thing for working people and save them tons of money. Wonder if I can hire her. Not going to the grocery store would not be missed. Terry and Morgan are suppose to bring a load from the Storage Unit. Only about 14 more days until we have to have it empty. I am going to list the Lawn mower on Craig's List today as well. It is a huge one with lots o...
