'Majesty' 24 x 24  Oil on Canvas SOLD Contact me for Commission Work. Laurie   © Laurie Justus Pace     Graphics One Design 2010 My Blog My Website   Painted Ponies       On Golden Pond Blog Wrestling with thoughts this morning. It was a late night for us. We left the house for the second time last night and drove into Mt Vernon for a Political Meeting.  Second one in my life time for me to attend something political.  What literally amazed me was the mire that folks allow themselves to get into and they get so deep into they cannot find the truth in anything.   Remember I have written before when you live in sin or you are not on the right path, you are living in darkness. Your eyes adjust to that darkness. Everything continues for you in darkness.  Suddenly when someone opens a door and the light comes at you, you shield your eyes and turn away from it because the light  hurts your eyes....

'Autumn Winds' 30 x 30  Acryilc on Canvas Contact me to purchase by check or paypal. Laurie  © Laurie Justus Pace     Graphics One Design 2009 The Painting :  Delicious.  It was delicious painting with an orange sherbet color.  But gee, look outside and see all the golden leaves tinted with this orange sherbet color and you can't help but want to paint it.  THICK paint adorns this canvas as you can tell by the ridges of paint piling on edge as I pulled the colors. The Thought : Have you ever had to pick up the phone and dial for tech support on your computer?    I added Snow Leopard to my Mac. Somehow the morning after adding Snow Leopard, several of my itune folders were empty of favorite songs, like Josh Radin and Ellis Paul etc.  I was painting in acrylic at the time I discovered this so I had to wash the brush and give up on the painting to call Tech Support. I simply cannot function in the studio with out my music....

'No. 312 Hill Toppers' 30 x 40 inches Oil on Canvas Contact The Rare Gallery in Jackson Hole to Purchase. Hollee Armstrong © Laurie Justus Pace    Graphics One Design 2009 The Painting :  I am currently painting new pieces for the Jackson Hole Gallery.  Hollee Armstrong, the owner, wanted another large pull of horses so I did this striking piece that is busy curing and waiting to be shipped.   I have a music piece I am working on as well and one other composition of my new water pulls.     The Thought :  Well yesterday I spoke of spiritual freedom.  I began my day with great expectations of nothing but tuned to staying tuned with Him.  I actually made it until late morning when of course things begin to overwhelm and I was sucked right back into the vat of mess between scheduling appts and securing addresses and counting out postcards.     Even last night with ALL good intentions of heading to the shower by nine...

'White Knight' 18 x 27 inches Oil on Canvas Contact me to purchase: Laurie © Laurie Justus Pace Graphics One Design 2009 The Painting: This is one of those...where did it come from pieces. I absolutely love it when something just flows out and fits with balance, melody and color. This is in oil and it is applied thickly in layers, without the use of impasto. The Thought: Vacation continues and my time this morning is very short. I would love to have you try to capture a few moments today to just sit and relax your mind. Tame the squirrels running around or let them go outside to play for ten minutes. Keep your hands open in your lap to be receptive and open. Keep your eyes open but do not focus on any one thing. Around you there will be noise or movement inside the house or outside if you are out. What is around you? Can you feel or see the flutter of butterfly wings? Are there shadows dancing nearby from sunlight? What can you smell around you? What makes this ...

'A Horse of Color' 18 x 27 inches Oil on Canvas SOLD from the blog! Thank You. Contact me to purchase: Laurie © Laurie Justus Pace Graphics One Design 2009 The Painting : Thick color and buttery paint with this oil on canvas. Sometimes you just love the play of contrast and the gillion colors you can come up with. The Thought : Nicknames or name calling is where I am heading off to today. Do you have a nickname? My first nickname growing up was graced upon me by my Aunt Marie. She called me Laurie Boo. That quickly became Boo-boo. Psychologically this might not have been the best choice of a nickname for a young child. Made me wonder if my presence was a boo-boo. As When I was at school in first grade I decided to change my name and began writing Amy at the top of my papers. I can still see my teacher shaking her head at me. I liked the name. As I grew into a brave 8 year old, there was a man at the church that called me by my full name, Laurie Sue. H...
