'Hydrangea in Blues' 18 x 27 inches Acrylic on Canvas SOLD from the Blog! Thank you so much. Contact me to purchase: Laurie © Laurie Justus Pace Graphics One Design 2009 The Painting: I had originally blocked this in acrylic and it was slated for oils. The humidity has been so bad here that I have had to paint more with Acrylics. The main focus was composition again and the blues and purples sweeping you through the painting. I miss not being in NY right now. The hydrangeas are gorgeous up there this time of year. The Thought : We are still "on Vacation' as Terry worked 18 straight hours yesterday with out food. I think spending his first day of vacation doing that did not set well. I was worried that he definitely over did and told him today he had to eat through out the day and take short breaks. I will be monitoring that. I did take pictures, but at least I am way behind with ads that are due for magazines that I need to finish up quickly today. Ti...

" Philippians 4:13 Terry and I yesterday morning, starting our day. We left and walked for an hour. Then we drove out to Maggiano's where Morgan works and had anniversary lunch. YUMMM. Dessert came out with candles. Enjoy the journey and enjoy the destination. Makes you reflective on anniversaries. I have known this man since I was 11.

Spring Hydrangea Flower Art by Laurie Justus Pace 30 x 30 inches Contact me to Purchase: Laurie I do believe we have had ten inches of rain since I blogged yesterday. I have been trying to call Terry as we have water coming in on the floor in the dining room. Has to do with the piled up dirt on the back porch that was jack hammered out for the gas repair two months ago. Not a priority for him and now water is coming in because it pooled up and cannot drain. Must be close to 20 inches high. The entire window sill is wet. I am choosing NOT to go out in the dark rain with a flashlight (We have no lights working remember) to shovel mud at five fortyfive in the morning. We tried to go to FEDEX late yesterday afternoon but the entire city was under water with many highways closed. Our visitors arrived in the midst of the torrential rains and we had no electricity at all anywhere. Normally we have 5% of the lights working and I can use lamps plugged into the walls, but our power was off...

PINK HYDRANGEA 30 x 30 inches Oil on Canvas A Painting A Day HAPPY FRIDAY MORNING. It is in the high fifties and I am already missing my sunrise and cup of tea! I have to hurry through this one! Georgia sent me pictures of her blooming hydrangea in her backyard...that was my simple inspiration for this huge freestyle painting of pink beauties! The paint is thick and fresh and full of movement and life...just like spring and summer! We had Joe Doughtery out last night to look at plumbing...he arrived right after the repair man for my oven...I was trying to paint and was definitely tied up in knots. BUT turns out Joe plays guitar ...and boy does he. He picked up and strummed both my Taylor and my Larrivee. I felt pretty darn good with in just a few minutes~ but then Terry decided it was still light enough outside to try and trim Paddy dog. NOT GOOD...too much dog hair flying. I am off to enjoy the day. Wait for that divine wisdom today with patience! Grace, Laurie “It is you who lig...
