The Thought:   In my dream, he was standing beside me... my husband.  I am not sure what we were doing but we were working very hard and we were working together.  When I turned around I felt the Spirit surrounding me, but there was no one behind me.  As I turned back to the front...there was Jesus, working in front of us, preparing the way.    For the life of me I cannot remember what we were doing, but we were working hard moving branches and clearing a path. There are many forces in this world I would consider nega...

'Full of Color' 18 x 24 Oil on Canvas Contact me to purchase by check or paypal. Laurie  © Laurie Justus Pace     Graphics One Design 2009 The Painting: FULL of color. Full of energy, FULL OF PAINT. Working with my favorite palette knife this painting has it LAYERED in every direction with every color and all of it is Holbein Duo Oils. ..thick and buttery professional grade oils. These folks tease me that my works may not cure for 40 years...but they will be around a long time. The Thought : Life is richer and fuller when I paint these painted ponies .  They are fun and full of energy and mysterious in the same breath. The joy in my heart spills over into the work on the canvas and through this work I hope you can feel the creativity of the Lord. Whatever your favorite past time is, do it.  Somethings are more enjoyable than others, but something has to bring a smile to you and joy to your heart.  Sometimes if I am on a roll I can find joy...

'Purple Haze' 24 x 30  Oil on Canvas Contact me to purchase by check or paypal. Laurie  © Laurie Justus Pace     Graphics One Design 2009 The Painting :  The first painting was called White Knight.  I wanted to paint the subject again and sought the deep contrast of cooler colors and white. You only find slight soft accents of reds and yellows.  The paint is thick and is Holbein Duo Oils .  The Thought : The gathering of so much talent took place yesterday at the Dutch Art Gallery . The Artists of Texas had their first gallery showing.  Kay Wyne was the liaison for the AOT group and the gallery and did a fabulous job.  When you walked in  you were blown away by the intensity of the work as well as the diversity.  None of this everyone painting the same thing.  None of this "your work reminds me of someone else's work".  All original and all unique.  I will put up a slide show in a day or two of t...
