It was medium large in size and we were all inquisitive.  As she pulled the box open out erupted beautiful fabrics in every imaginable color. It was memorizing just to witness the box opening. These rich fabrics were her collection of dance costumes over the years of dancing.  After every performance her mother h...

Laurie © Laurie Justus Pace   Graphics One Design 1998-2011      Divine Order I have many friends that share the thought what is to happen in the future is already written in Heaven.  Sheriff Paul says it all the time.  He is the one that told us this area was like living in pre-Heaven with the beauty of the land and the people that live here. The Sheriff's faith is strong and he lives his life following the Lord. It actually takes a lot of pressure off if you begin to contemplate the fullness of what he is saying. We are accustomed to crying, worrying, grieving and pacing when we are confronted with circumstances that seem to be out of our control.

First Poppies Flower Art by Laurie Justus Pace 15 X 30 inches SOLD The wind is howling outside this morning. Our 90 degree temps are back in the thirties. Only in Texas! I saw some poppies in a garden this week and that prompted a fun painting of their brilliance. Yesterday Terry and I finished up replanting and re potting the garden room. We had purchased new pots for our roses that we brought from the country as well as his mother's rose that we have nurtured along. I will have to take pictures and share them this week. It is nice in there, a very peaceful retreat. The roses and azealas will thrive in their new soil. Re potting is a thought to consider for us today. Often as a plant grows older and there has been no weekly maintenance to feed and nourish it, it begins to get yellow leaves and even shriveled leaves. I feel that applies to us as well. We stumble along in life often neglecting our connection that is wide open with God. He waits so patiently to lend his ea...

Poppy Fields, Tuscan Landscape by Laurie Justus Pace 4 x 6 x 1 inches Oil on Gallery Wrapped Canvas Contemporary Art for the Home Saturday morning is here. The moon is hazed over telling me we should expect rain pretty soon. I know a cold front is stalled out north of us due to push through by Monday night...so maybe! We need it. This painting is another small 4 x 6 inch impressionistic piece. Alive with color it sings of happy moments crossing this field of color. Phil is still here. After events yesterday he stayed today to go shooting with me and then to help do giclees tonight I hope. We will head out this morning to the Dallas arboretum to shoot flowers. I am hoping something is blooming. In the morning Phil will leave to travel to Ville Platte to visit Laura and her family. HI OLIVIA and MARCUS!!! Late on Thursday I received an email from the Dallas Arboretum with a late invitation to participate in Artscape. Now I never applied to this invitational show but had contacted t...
