In the Light, Peonies No 1 Contemporary Floral Flower Art Daily Painting by Laurie Justus Pace 30 x 24 x 2 inches of Oil on Canvas Contact me: Laurie "For God made two great lights, the sun and the moon, to shine down upon the earth. The greater one, the sun presides during the day and the lesser one, the moon presides through the night. He also made the stars. God set these lights in the heavens to light the earth, to govern the day and the night and to separate the light form the darkness. And God saw that is was good." Genesis 1:16-18 A huge light bulb went off in my head as I read this verse early this morning. I began to realize the power of the Sun in our universe. God is the power of the sun, its energy and it's light. Then there is the moon that revolves around the earth. The moon would not have the power of light with out the Sun. We are like that moon.

Mini Peonies ~ Flowers in Art by Laurie Justus Pace 18 x 18 inches Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas Contemporary Art for the Home SOLD This is a small version of a larger painting I did this summer. I had to do a commission piece similar and I did this as a warm up to get into the right rhythm for the curls! Rhythm seems to be the key word here.

Peonies Popping 30 x 30 inches Oil on Canvas A Painting a Day The painting above I finished this morning. It is thick paint and will take weeks to dry, but I had fun rejoicing in the music and the day as I painted and it definitely shows that! I have had such warm wonderful conversations with so many of you that read my blog and I have never met you in person. I thank all of you that write me about the different paintings enabling me to sell directly from this blog. THANK YOU!!! It is Saturday. It started with rushing Annie to the vet...she had torn stitches in one of her larger incisions. Thanks goodness the vet was open and the race had not started at the Texas Motor Speedway or I would be stuck away from our house. Not sure how Terry will get home this afternoon. He arrives usually around four, well the gates open at Four at the TMS....and the roads will be JAMMED. Annie is doing great. Stacey went with me because I still cannot use my left arm with my injured rotator cuff. ...
