Silver's Gang 30 x 40 inches  Oil on Canvas   This was what Brad Bisby calls the 'battlefield'. There are times when you paint you have a set direction. If I showed you where this painting was before I scrapped it twice you would laugh and definitely think it was not related. The spirit of this horse painting gives a strong definition to equine art because of the strength and passion in the 10 layers or more of oil paints. If I tried to paint something like this again... I could not ever get there. That is what makes this horse painting so unique.     ©Laurie Pace    Graphics One Design 1998-2011    Contact me for your own commissioned painting or to purchase this piece: Laurie       It is called Silver's Gang because the horses in the painting are the five horses from the Lone Ranger and Tonto when they were together. Do you keep a prayer list? Is it filled with prayer requests for friends and family...

'Springing Free' 9 x 12  Oil on Canvas Contact me to purchase by check or paypal. Laurie   © Laurie Justus Pace     Graphics One Design 2010 The Painting: Soft oils and  wide brush.. The Thought: I think it must have rained for 48 hours.  The pond is full, the trees are green and it is good to be home.   My thoughts revolve around several things this morning and one is praying for a friend.  We have very similar prayer needs and we both believe we clearly know what we need in our situations to fix them.  But do we?  From our human viewpoint, we see what would clearly be the answer, but so far it is not happening for either of our situations.  It is so obvious that there is nothing else that could possibly happen to resolve the situation, except our concept of "the answer".    Sometimes this sets up an "uh oh" for me as it means my way is not His way and His way is not the easiest way all the time for me....

'Free Spirit Horse' 4 x 6  Mixed Medium on 140 lb Watercolor Paper Contact me to purchase by check or paypal. Laurie   © Laurie Justus Pace     Graphics One Design 2010 The Painting: Just for fun!!! The Thought: I guess summer is here.  We were sitting outside again last night and there was a small thundershower building over the lake. It missed us.  Paddy was barking and there were deer running every which direction.  He wanted badly to go on a 'deer run' to try and catch those elusive long legs streaking across our yard. It didn't help that there were fire flies...yes they have arrived...the fire flies.  I have not seen them since I was much younger.  In Paddy's mind, he doesn't get it.  The deers are running and the fire flies are lighting and lighting and lighting in different spots.  He is busy chasing them and trying to snap at them with his mouth and as you know he cannot catch one.  I guess he could...but th...

'Moonshine' 24 x 36  Oil on Canvas Contact me to purchase by check or paypal. Laurie  © Laurie Justus Pace     Graphics One Design 2009 The Painting: This is a large version of a small painting I did entitled "The Moon."  The little one just sold and as I was packing it to ship, I decided I wanted to paint a big one. That is what I usually do with the little ones is use them as a test for colour and movement. The Thought: Wii is still happening in the morning.  When I do over 45 minutes though, I feel whipped.   That is what I did yesterday.  I hit the shower when I was done and dried off and began to dress realizing I was so tired I wanted to fall back into bed.
