  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013 Golden Sunset Sail 32 x 48 inches Oil on Canvas. SOLD  It is at the hanging stage... hanging in the studio for me to watch. It is NOT done...but in hold while these layers dry for me to add final layering with the knife.  I am loving the energy and really give total thanks to God on this one... it has what I prayed it would have.  So in a few days or a week, I will post a final of this painting. Thanks for your patience. These large paintings are not overnight creations.  The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

     © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013 Golden Sunset Sail 32 x 48 Inches Oil on Canvas. SOLD  You really can tell the difference between the sky and the water by this time. The boats remain still sketched in and the water is taking on movement with the wind.  Colors are strong against the golden sunset and tomorrow I will work on the boats.  The friends I am painting for did NOT want to see the progress shots.  They trust my work and know I am led by His Spirit as I work and I have to trust simply that if I give myself and this painting to Him that it will indeed be of great spirit as I finish it. Probably two days left to paint and then it will hang around the studio while I watch it.    Do not gloat over me, my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will rise. Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light.  Micah 7:8 Laurie Pace A Texas Artist ...

I worked from the horizon line up to the top and then from the horizon line down through the water. More layers will appear as I progress using my knife, catching the waves, the shadows, the wind and the energy of the lake.  “Arise, shine, for your light has come,     and the glory of the Lord rises upon you."

SOLD  They both had seen the sunset almost two weeks ago when the first 'cold front' came through Dallas.  It was truly a golden sunset.  Their heart was set on this sailboat painting being a GOLDEN SUNSET.   We combed through many images to make sure I had in my mind what they had in their mind, and I set my palette to include Indian Yellow and Quinacridone Gold as the basis of the Golden Sunset. These are images of the first pulls of paint of Indian Gold with a minimal amount of white to carry it. I want the Indian Gold to react with other colors as they sweep over it.  "This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, a...

SOLD  SO you will watch this one from beginning sketches through the paint this week. I have a busy month in the studio but it is with three or four large paintings, so you will see the progress peppered in with anything small I do along the way. I am reserving MONDAYS each week as the 'art lesson day' to help beginners with art. Many artists out there are doing paint alongs for other artists, but some beginners are truly not really ready for paint alongs. You have to have a knowledgable foundation in art to learn the basics, train your eye and extend your knowledge so you create things that are apart of who you are and not  imitate the art of others.    This will be a palette knife painting and this one starts with a sketch on the canvas.   I u...
