Laurie Pace - Fine Artist

PINK BEAUTIES ~ Flowers by Laurie Justus Pace 18 x 24 inches Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas Contact me if you like it! Good pricing available! Laurie Well we were up late last night...it was the night before CHILI PARTY...which is tonight. Terry was cutting and preparing until way after eleven...despite the fact we had to be up at five for him to leave for work. At our house this is a serious venture and Terry prepares two or three pots of Chili. He also makes me a small pot with out hot peppers in it! This is an annual event and usually the week after Christmas, but the house was only so so and I had not had time to invite folks...so I put it off till tonight. I figure it is the 11th day of Christmas, it still works! Everyone coming will bring White Elephant Gifts to have the numbered gift exchange where you can steal gifts from each other. I hope there are no orange toilet seats this year. Tomorrow I will post more photos of inside the house as Morgan has been working even more ...

NEW YEARS CELEBRATION ~ City Scape by Laurie Justus Pace 24 x 48 x 2 inches, Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas Contact me for details to purchase. Laurie SOLD ON DAILY PAINTERS! THANK YOU! Short blog this morning! This is a gorgeous HUGE painting by my son and I, done over the last two days! We worked side by side and then would switch sides. He began to see people walking on the sidewalk below. I can actually see them now! Can you? He has a job interview with Northwest ISD on Monday so prayers are needed! It is for a special education position. His work with Grant, the grandson that died in February, led him to the belief that he wanted to teach and work with special need children. I am short today because my internet is intermittent at best. I would not give you a plug nickel for Time Warner Cable. Our service is rotten. A repair is due out this afternoon and meanwhile my hands are tied when it comes to online. God Bless you each. Laurie “He has showed you, O man, what is good. And wha...

HAZY DAYS OF WINTER ~ Horse Oil Painting by Laurie Justus Pace 30 x 30 inches Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas Contact me for Pricing. Laurie A bit late posting this morning, but I had to finish the painting I was working on to post something. I have been selling off this blog so I am trying to paint more. Today Morgan and I will do a combined artist painting, Mother and Son! If we finish it I will post it tomorrow. Yesterday Terry spent most of the day watching TV and Ebay. He has them set up so he doesn't even have to turn his head. He can see them both by just shifting his eyes back and forth. I love having our room together. I normally paint by music though and yesterday I had car auctions in the background, History of the Moon, History of Black Holes, and one of those annoying Clint Eastwood movies where it whistles between scenes. That was like fingers on a chalk board. We hit Whole Foods about one thirty and made it to my brothers at four to watch a movie and have dinner. ...

ESACPE ~ Abstract Horse Oil Painting by Laurie Justus Pace 18 x 27 inches, Acrylic on Gallery Wrap Canvas SOLD on Daily Painters. Thanks for Supporting Daily Painters. List is not totally made, but I have been reflecting on it! I know the Lord is putting up caution signs and detours, but I remain in a fog trying to figure out the way. I love it when hubby says, "you are doing it wrong, can't you see that?" But when I ask him to help me understand what it is he sees so clearly he can't answer me. I am not sure he knows, but he is ever so helpful to try and make sure I know I am doing it wrong. If I started my list at the top would probably be self control. When it comes to my eating habits that seems to be lost for sure. To have more self control would be first. Maybe then I can loose part of the twenty pounds I gained over the past four years. Second, hummm, probably flexibility...to have flexibility to situations that I have no control over! Makes sense do...

Light of the Night ~ Horse Oil Painting by Laurie Justus Pace 18 x 24 inches Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas Contact me for Pricing! Laurie Ouch. Woke at three with leg cramps. Up again at four with migraine. Not the best start to the last day of 2007. So much in my mind with decisions for the new year and wishing today had 48 hours to get it all done to start the new year fresh and ready to roll. As I was unpacking I came across a list of things I made ten years ago at Christmas. The idea was if you write things down and read it over and over, it will happen....sort of like praying with faith and it too never fails...God makes things happen. Here is my list broken up into Do Have and BE and REMEMBER these were written TEN years ago.... I must compile a new list for tomorrow...but here is what was ten years ago. To be braver.... I am. To embrace life and live fuller....I am. To give more to the world...I try. To be happier....I am. To enjoy traveling....I do a bit more! I still mi...

NEW YEAR SOULS ~ Abstract Horse Painting by Laurie Justus Pace 24 x 36 inches, Gallery Wrap Canvas, Ready to hang! SOLD on Daily Painters January 1, 2008 ~ THANK YOU! Gallery Value $3600 I can't seem to get a photo strong enough to capture the tones and hues in this painting. IN person it has a captivating appearance that pulls you into the center where you feel as if the horses are running around you. LEAPING LIZARDS I kept hearing rustling in the tissue among the presents last week. Sort of discouraging because of the large rat I know lives in the yard out front and I do not welcome him in the house. Yesterday as I was sweeping up and preparing the damp mop the wood floors, this little guy was sunning himself in the middle of the floor. He didn't seem to mind the photo shoot, but as soon as I attempted to scoop him up to put him outside, where I think he needs to live, he shoot back under the couch and I couldn't find him after that. I have been praying about my ar...

DIRECTIONAL ~ Horse Oil Painting by Laurie Justus Pace 24 x 48 x 2 inches, Oil on Deep Wrap Canvas SOLD THANKS for supporting Daily Painters Contact me for Pricing Laurie Pace Saturday early before the city has awaken....I am here at the computer blogging. I painted until almost nine last night on a few pieces, going from easel to easel. Will paint more this morning and then I have to clean house. AND unpack books. This is on a huge canvas 24 x 48. I squirm when I paint on these because Terry hates shipping them. I do not paint on them often for this reason. Carl from Pane in the Glass came yesterday and replaced my broken Kitchen window and fixed the curio cabinet that was broken in the move. He is such a pleasant man and I was fortunate to find him through the internet when we arrived. NOW, Terry only has to replace the sliding glass door in the kitchen. Then we will have all the cracked glass areas replaced. Do you have cracked areas in your life? Are they in need of repair? ...

NOT OF THIS PLACE ~ Horse Oil Painting by Laurie Justus Pace 18 X 27 inches, Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas Contact me for pricing or to purchase. Laurie It has been a whirl wind of a week and I have not painted very much! This is one I finished while Billie has been here visiting. It is rather spiritual in person, the deep purples have faded out on the upper left edge. Christmas has been full of family and love and so much easier living close to my parents. My mother is mending from a pulled back and we see our family doc this morning. Billie is only here one more full day and we woke up to rain this morning. Hopefully it will just be morning rain. Still chilly at 42 outside though, but thankful no ice! Here is the tree set up in the Music room. Terry was able to get the sliding door open to the garden room from the living room just before family arrived Christmas Eve. This is looking from the living room into the now open garden room door. Billie did a fabulous job transforming the ...

Coming tomorrow! NOT OF THIS PLACE~! MERRY CHRISTMAS! Terry and Laurie with Grandson Jonathan
