Pop Art Flower Art Oil Painting ~ "Marco Polo Lily " by Laurie Pace 24 x 36 inches, Oil on Canvas Commissioned by Collector in Switzerland. Contact me for commission work: Laurie © Laurie Pace Graphics One Design 2009 " You shall not covet your neighbor's house. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor ." Exodus 20:17 A PAINTING A DAY: This was painted a few years ago as a commission painting. I have not had time to take pictures of my work from the weekend yet, so I pulled from my archives. My Thought for the Day: There is a song from Vacation Bible School from many summers ago, when my grandson was only 5. I led the music for bible school and the theme song was "I AM A PROMISE". The words have never left my brain and my grandson is almost 12 now. I think it went like this: "I am a promise I am a possibility I am a promise with a ...

Blue and White Flowers Palette Knife Flower Oil Painting by Laurie Justus Pace 24 x 24 inches Just finishing up for Hong Kong Summer Show at the SR Gallery. This is one of eight florals making the trip. Contact: SR Gallery for more information . SR GALLERY HONG KONG " 'I will now rise up,' says the Lord; 'I will place them in the safety for which they long.'" Psalm 12:5 This is Terry and I probably in 1966. We were swimming at a friends house and he had just handed me a yellow lollipop to eat. Today is our wedding anniversary. Not sure where the years have gone, but I cherish each and every memory of our journey. I meet him officially in 7th grade, but he did go to the same elementary school, we just didn't cross paths there. He came to the district in 4th grade and I had been here from the beginning. Have I ever told you he has every note I ever wrote him? When I read through them years ago, I decided I was definitely an insecure teenager and easily...

SPRING KISSES OF COLOR Contemporary Floral Flowers Art Oil Painting by Laurie Justus Pace 18 x 24 x 2 inches Oil on Canvas Contact me if you are interested! Laurie SOLD! Thank you. "Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!" Matthew 21:9 Think back in life to your younger years; although something like this might have happened recently. Has there been a time you were walking into a room and everyone was waiting for you? It could have been your birthday, or a special family dinner and you were running late...or you were a guest speaker... but everyone was excited as you walked through the door. They had been anticipating your arrival and were ready for you.... no different than when Jesus entered Jerusalem during the last week of His earthly life. The crowds were cheering and waving palm branches carried on by their excitement and joy of seeing Jesus. It would only be days later that He was arrested and crucified. These same people that were...

Laurie "For a thousand years in your sight are like yesterday when it is past, or like a watching the night. You sweep them away; they are like a dream, like grass that is renewed in the morning." Psalm 90:4-5 Last night we brought our birds home from my son's house. He has babysat them for 15 months. I have so missed the joy of their twittering and chirping every day in my home. I have always had birds. Terry carefully placed the large cage in my VW Passat sideways, and we put the stand in the trunk. As we arrived home I gather up the front seat bird food stuff and he slid the cage out of the car. In a sudden flash in the dusk of early night I saw a bird rise from ...

In the Light, Peonies No 1 Contemporary Floral Flower Art Daily Painting by Laurie Justus Pace 30 x 24 x 2 inches of Oil on Canvas Contact me: Laurie "For God made two great lights, the sun and the moon, to shine down upon the earth. The greater one, the sun presides during the day and the lesser one, the moon presides through the night. He also made the stars. God set these lights in the heavens to light the earth, to govern the day and the night and to separate the light form the darkness. And God saw that is was good." Genesis 1:16-18 A huge light bulb went off in my head as I read this verse early this morning. I began to realize the power of the Sun in our universe. God is the power of the sun, its energy and it's light. Then there is the moon that revolves around the earth. The moon would not have the power of light with out the Sun. We are like that moon. We are darkness with out the light that God shines onto us. In turn we are to reflect that light into the...

Miniatures in White Flower Art by Laurie Justus Pace 5 x 7 Oil on Panel Inquiries: Laurie No I am not still in bed. I have been up painting since four thirty this morning and just finished for the day. It is almost one and I am still in my pj's. Terry took one look at me about an hour ago and said if I just would wait seven more hours I could be ready for bed.... He is so funny. Mom gave me an article to read this morning about enjoying God's favor in your life. It was out of her VITAJOURNEL. I read it twice through and decided to reflect on it in my thoughts today. "God earnestly longs to be gracious to you - to have mercy on you and to show you His Loving-kindness." Isaiah 30:18 A favor is something that is misunderstood...when lately did you say, "Can you do me favor?" You are asking to bet some type of action completed with out having to give something in return. A favor is an act that is performed out of goodwill and it is not won but rather giv...

Flowers in My Room Flower Floral Art Oil Painting by Laurie Justus Pace 18 x 24 inches Inquiries: Laurie It will be a musical day today as I will begin prep this morning on several new musical pieces. Yesterday I finished this one and truly enjoyed painting every bit of it. It is a subdued color palette for me. Refreshingly different. Once someone ask me how I paint every day...they wanted to know how I come up with so many subjects to paint. Every morning when I wake I cannot wait to paint. I truly dislike all the computer related stuff, but I make myself blog before I get to play. I have learned to take more precautions and I always wear gloves now. Everything else is sheer energy as I soar through the process, music playing and paint flying. My constant inspiration is the Lord and His creation around me. He makes it easy. From each painting something is learned as I journey through the process. With movement on the canvas building the composition, it stays open to change as m...

POT OF PANSIES Flower Art Oil Painting by Laurie Justus Pace 18 x 24 inches SOLD Geez I need to be painting. I have not held a paint brush in my hand in three days. I have nine canvas in various stages of completion beckoning me to work. Yesterday I finished cleaning up the studio. My drafting board is clear and ready for me to work at, my easels are ready, the floors are clean, and the junk has been eliminated. YEAH! Terry cleaned off the jackhammered patio and it is so nice now not to see destruction everywhere. Took about three hours of shoveling and distributing dirt and rock through out our little city lot! He has to work on the patio leveling now. Once he gets started he is a non stop worker until he completes the task. Seems as we get older both of us procrastinate a bit more than we use to. I picked up some huge purple plastic containers for his models. We are going to start clearing out the second bedroom now and getting the boxes out of there. What are your attributes? ...

NOTE: Martha, the artist, that left the comment, please email me and give me your email address so we can visit! The paint is thick on this one! Layers thick. Not sure where it came from, but it took me back to feeling like I was 10 years old as I painted it in freedom with out constraints. Wednesday morning is here and the thought remains that I am still behind. I took two days off from painting and have some needed commissions to work on today. One is a horse but small, 11 x 14 size and one is an Azawakh. This is a Sighthound. I am eager to do both today! On the house front, Terry has been sheet rocking to repair what was torn out for rewiring. Darla will be back today to do a dedicated line for my computer. Next week we will take on the box. Do you believe in Miracles? I picked up a book from Barnes and Noble called "A Course in Miracles". (Wondering about ...
