MUSIC MAKER no. 30 Contemporary Art Palette Knife Daily Painting Guitar Oil Painting by Laurie Justus Pace 30 x 30 inches Oil on Canvas SOLD Commission Painting Contact me to paint for your home: Laurie This seems to be a favorite painting composition for folks that want a guitar. Each time I repaint this the colors change and the guitar takes on it's own feel. This was requested by a mom for her son's room over his bed. WHAT FUN!!! I believe it is to be a surprise as well and that makes it even neater. Surprises when you least expect it can catch you off guard. Surprise good? Surprise bad? When you are thinking the layers of yesterday, even the "surprise bad" may be a journey to good, so I am thinking better not to differentiate...lets just say SURPRISE. I want to plant a seed today. Trust God with your dreams and He may surprise you. Now it is your turn to figure out your priorities and dreams. Try not to be too "Plan" specific and get down to the...

Guitar Six Pack Yellow Guitar Guitar Oil Painting with Palette Knife By Laurie Justus Pace SOLD Contact me for Commission Work: Laurie Yesterday I did not paint. Today I hope to paint as we prepare for our departure to Marble Falls. I am way excited to be apart of this show and seeing so many new faces and some old ones as well. Marnie wrote me that Jim and Marilee Heister will be there. They are neighbors from my childhood. I just moved back to the neighborhood where Terry and I grew up...and I always wondered where they were and where their daughter Layne is. She was two years younger than me but we were the same tall height and shared our closets. It was nice. With so much bickering on the tv with campaign ads and the debates...my ears burn and my stomach churns. I do not talk politics and will not here, but I will address forgiveness. The folks involved here have much to ask of each other as they all continue to fill the airways with their claims. When we do complain of other...

MARILYN AND FRIENDS Guitar Music ART with Palette Knife by Laurie and Morgan Pace 18 x 24 inches Oil on Canvas SOLD COMMISSION Contact Me for commission pieces. Laurie Paint, something I did NOT do yesterday and for the next two days we are blessed with two 14 year old guests in the house. I promised them they could paint today, but I have to clean up before we can mess up. I wonder if God think about that with us too. He is constantly trying to clean up our messes and just as He begins to right our world, we always take off on another tangent with one of our desires; not our needs, but our wants jumping in. The infamous line, "Is it a need or a want?" that was common with the kids growing up. As adults we should stop and ask ourselves that same question. What direction are we heading in? What do we NEED, not want. How can we serve the "needs" of those around us and in our community? Most of us tend to go off on these tangents of want involving ourselves in d...

GUITAR SIX PACK Guitar Music Contemporary Pop Art by Laurie Justus Pace Six Canvas, Each 4 x 6 inches in size OIL on Gallery Wrap Canvas, ready to hang. Contact me to buy: Laurie Too early for my eyes this morning. Terry doesn't work today and I sure should not be up working at this hour... 4:50 am. WHY? Well he got up complaining to be hot and turned off the fan. Most women do not know this fact, but somewhere around four in the morning or four thirty in the morning EVERY morning, your hormones take a dive. Guess it has something to do with the sleep cycle. So when you finally hit menopause, that is usually when the hot flashes are the worst... four a.m. Well even now I still get warm and so when the fan goes off I get warm, I am awake, and I can hear everything in the room. Now Terry is one of those TV men. We have all the necessities of TV, DVD, VCR, CABLE BOX, etc. in our bedroom. I am NOT a TV person. So, when the electronics are left on at night and it is only a few...

MUSIC MONDAY STRING NUMBER 3 Guitar Oil Painting by Laurie Justus Pace and Morgan Haskell Pace 24 x 18 x 2 Oil on Deep Canvas, Needs no frame. Contact me to purchase and mention the title: Laurie Morgan was over last week and as always he picks up a guitar and hits it hard. He broke another string. He will be banned from my guitars at this rate. It is a pain to go buy strings. AND what I do not get is his generation basically is not responsible. IF I broke something of my mom's I would be falling all over myself to fix it. He will do nothing...so I will be changing my attitude with him now. At 27 he should be responsible...right? This painting we did together. He needed to paint and I sketched it out and his remark was, I don't want to paint guitars, and I said, OK, I will. I started pulling the layers and he got really excited and jumped in to work with me. This piece ROCKS. IT has paint a half inch thick in places. The little knobs to adjust sound are dimensional as t...
