PRETTY BOY ~ Horse Oil Painting by Laurie Justus Pace 8 x 10 x 2 inches Oil on Deep Gallery Wrap Canvas Contemporary Art for the Home Thursday is teaching day and I have much prep work to do for class, but I am hoping to paint some early this morning. Esp if I do not blog too long! This is one I finished yesterday. Very delicate small brush but still maintaining a fresh look to the realism. Daily Word was interesting today. What is your perception of what you can do? Today is a new day. Whatever happened yesterday is gone. WAY gone. Perception is said to be the inner knowledge of truth. Give where you can today, contribute the gifts the Lord has provided and know each day reveals deeper wisdom to your journey. Shalom, Laurie “And the man looked up and said, ‘I can see people, but they look like trees, walking.’ Then Jesus laid his hands on his eyes again; and he looked intently and his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly.”—Mark 8:24-25
THE COWBOY ~ Horse Painting by Laurie Justus Pace 15 x 30 inches Oil on Gallery Wrapped Canvas Contemporary Art for the Home Tuesday and still in the midst of our late Indian Summer. Got a HUGE electric bill yesterday, but I have not had a bad one all summer, so I guess one is not bad. Terry thinks the AC is going out, so I am happy we have a unit lined up to go in. This painting was finished on Sunday. Out of the midst of painting it I saw a cowboy standing inside the horse...do you see it? At first I laughed and then I thought, Why not leave it...tell me what you think... Today Terry will work even though it is his day off. He is working a late shift to switch off schedule with another man to have Saturday off for his huge family reunion. It will be the first time in 17 years I will not be there! I will be at ARTSCAPE in Dallas at the Arboretum and again if you are a Dallas/FT Worth reader, BE THERE!!! I will be working tonight in the studio late preparing all the "Stuff...
White Tailed Buck Oil on Gallery Wrapped Canvas 30 x 30 inches Contemporary Modern Art SOLD SOLD SOLD off Daily Painters! Thank YOU!!! Sunday morning in its glory. My friend Cris and her daughter, one of my students, Aly, is coming by in about an hourish to pick me up for church. I am visiting a huge church called Cross Timbers in Argyle Texas. They have four services each weekend. It is definitely different that ANYTHING I am accustomed to. It is a rock band on the stage and none of the creeds and responses I have grown up with. Terry and I visited it about a month ago and enjoyed the difference, so I am eager to visit this morning. This painting is a different subject than I normally paint...but the same brilliant palette of colors mixing and contrasting to pull you into the composition. It is alive for sure. We get in these ruts in life as we try to control it all, thinking wisely ahead and planning. I was reading my new OPRAH magazine last night about 6 woman that just quit th...
