I sold the trees yesterday, they are going to Utah! My dear husband is doing my kitchen cabinets for Christmas! I am so impressed as he is stripping down the wood. He began yesterday and I almost like them natural. We may just varnish them. While he was doing that I cleaned out closets. I might have to take pictures as proof. I have a missing pair of Black leggins I cannot find and it is driving me crazy. So the closets got cleaned out! Also donating the extra to dog rescue and they pick it up th...

I was visiting with a collector in California yesterday and this one subject kept coming up. We all have mulled over the thoughts that we have to Let Go and Let God; we have accepted the fact if we makes plans, God is probably greatly amused; and we know we are to seek knowledge to provide wisdom to make decisions. This collector pointed out to me her greatest sin was over analyzing a situation every time. Most folks, and especially those left-brained ones, dissect every issue, every problem, contemplate every angle...

Not sure where Stacey will contain her. More on this tomorrow after the visit. I was very productive yesterday.

Racing the Wind Contemporary Art Palette Knife Horse Art Daily Painting by Laurie Justus Pace 24 x 48 OIL thick! COMMISSION SOLD and still wet, waiting to ship for the holidays Contact me for a gift, still time to paint and ship it to you! Laurie RED, she told me she loved the painting I posted yesterday. She had seen the original I posted 10 days ago before I repainted the orange background. RED, she wanted Red. She had also seen the one I painted that was three horses in a 30 x 36 inch venue...she loved that red, so I combined the two looks into one for the PERFECT RED painting for her. What is fun is sending pictures along the way so the collector can see the process as it goes and grows. This is painting that is enjoyable and very creative. Racing the Wind will head up to New York where it will live in the gorgeous four season state! Texas only has two seasons, Hot and Warm. Thank You Notes .

Posse of White Contemporary Art Palette Knife Oil Daily Paintings Horse by Laurie Justus Pace I repainted the background, I think the thicker orange pops out the horses better. Contact me to purchase. Laurie I had this one hanging in the studio and decided it needed more orange paint so I attacked it again and am re-posting it. I have been busy with commission pieces I will start posting tomorrow. I can't wait to share them! I am late posting as I was working on the Lakewood Series Book Submission this morning. I decided to combine some of my chapters. My word count is enough but my chapters were too many. Takes a while to go through 175 pages renumbering and retitling chapters with out confusing it all. I am sure God feels that way when He is sorting through our individual chapters. We tend to be controlling and heading off in our own directions to do things. He has to take the time to untangle what we have done and create distractions in our lives to head us back onto the pa...

Sunrise Contemporary Art Daily Painting Horse Palette Knife by Laurie Justus Pace 24 x 30 inches Oil on Canvas SOLD PRIVATE COLLECTION Contact me for your commission work: Laurie Okay so I took heat from my daughter. No she is not lazy in the sense of lazy... she is part of the generation that likes Lean Cuisine and the EASE of using it. I am a control freak that makes 98% of everything from scratch. The only frozen stuff in my freezer is meat from MT Vernon and Sheriff Elect Paul Fletcher and his lovely wife Vicki, some old Klondyke bars, and some frozen corn and peas in bags that we use to treat injuries! On to new things! If you heard the words, LET ME BE THERE . What is your first thought? Let WHOM be where? As a teen in the sixties and seventies I grew up with some truly inspiring music, both good and bad, but of course I loved it all. I played my guitar in church, took it to church camp and also played and performed at an airforce base north of Sherman TX. We could ada...

Laurie Don't forget to scroll down on the right side and see my newly released book of art and spiritual thoughts inspired by this blog and all of you who asked WHEN would the book come out! do it with heART by Laurie Justus Pace We are out the door shortly for Whole Foods and shopping. Last time I took my camera in there they confiscated it. Can you believe that? I wanted to take pictures of flowers and garden center and people drinking coffee and they said NO. They didn't want competitors taking pictures of how they set things up. I have to respect their privacy, but I love shopping there. We have been organic buyers for 15 years now. From the net veggie bags to the canvas tote bags, we have saved many trees in 15 years. I might suggest that as gifts for folks you don't know what to get them try this site: Reusablebags...

SOLD Contact me for Commission work: Laurie Monday is almost half way over and I am just getting here! NO I did not sleep late. That is wishful thinking. We were up by six thirty this morning and had breakfast together watching the news in the kitchen. Terry is busy boxing 10 pieces heading to The Red Tree Gallery in Atascadero California. She has just about sold out of my work. This takes more time as the pieces are all framed and more precautions have to be taken with boxing. I did this yesterday. Enjoy and be kind. Me, I am doing all the darn bookwork and lists and pricing and COAS etc. More work today, rarely a day off. Although yesterday we made a ran to Asel Art for Canvas for some commission paintings and then stopped by to see some of our oldest friends, Mike and Cindy Davis. They were part of the same high school group with Sheriff Elect Paul...

Finding Peace Contemporary Art Daily Horse Painting with Palette Knife by Laurie Justus Pace 20 x 20 x 2 inches of thick Oil Contact me to purchase. Should be dry and ship before Christmas. Laurie Don't forget to stop by www.LakewoodSeries.blogspot.com . Stay updated with the events in this new Christian Book Series. Saturday finds me here ready to paint. This is one I worked on yesterday. I think it is done. I like the play on colors and the subtle changes of light. Hence the title FINDING PEACE . First I would suggest we examine the definition of peace. Webster tells me it is a state of tranquility or quiet; freedom from civil disturbance; freedom from disquieting or oppressive thoughts or emotions; a harmony in personal relationships. Who would not want that in their life? The perfect state of tranquility...wow. I would believe in my heart most of you reading this would yearn for tranquility and quiet, even if it were only for a short fifteen minutes. Think what you could...
