MOUNTAIN GOAT ~ Wildlife Art by Laurie Justus Pace 18 x 24 inches Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas Contemporary Art for the Home SOLD SOLD SOLD It is Sunday morning. I will NOT be painting today...at least it is not in the plans! I worked from four thirty a.m. yesterday until almost five last night. That was enough for me. Morgan came over and painted yesterday. He posted his work on artbyus.com and had it sold for the BUY IT NOW price in less than twenty minutes. Gee, mine don't go that fast! LOL The painting.... Tom from Wyoming, one of my collectors sent me a list of things he wanted to see me paint and this was the first one I tried....my Mountain Goat. I had such a joy painting him! He is climbing, one leg extended upward on a rock...full beard and lots of color filling in the white coat. Enjoy. This painting is available...just email me. We ate late last night up in Ponder. We had run to Penney's to do an exchange and then were going to eat...they were packed and

IN HER GARDEN By Laurie Justus Pace 24 x 30 unframed, with the frame it is 30 x 36 inches. Clearing out from NY Show, Custom Framed from The Dutch Art Gallery This painting is looking for it's home...gorgeous impressionism with layers of paint, all applied with a palette knife. SOLD Saturday Morning has found me up early and really ready to paint. Habits are habits though and blogging my paintings comes first. The piece above was at the NY show this summer. I had it sent home to sell from the blog or from eBay, which ever happens first. If you need a really large piece, NICE large piece and you like this, email me as it is looking for its home. The brown paper on the back of the painting has a slight tear in it, but the painting and the frame are in perfect condition. I do not normally post prices on the blog but will assure you it is affordable, so if you like it email me. The frame alone was $250 and I have it priced just a bit higher than this. Old habits....as I read Dai

JACKSON ONE Abstract Horse Painting by Laurie Justus Pace 22 x 28 inches Acrylic on Gallery Wrap Canvas Contemporary Art for the Home SOLD SOLD SOLD This is what happened as I branched off to try and new technique....TAR GEL! It certainly gave new definition to three dimensional. I entitled it Jackson after Jackson Pollock and his abstract work on canvas. Using the tar gel, I was provided with a creative freedom of actual play as I discovered it's versatility. It is Friday. I will be finishing up my Wolf commission painting for Jeff and getting back in the saddle working up the pieces for Hong Kong. Florence wrote this morning that the new website for the gallery should be complete soon and they will (IF I CAN GET MY WORK THERE BY NOV 10) feature my work in their winter publications. SOOO, I am going to be painting the next three days pretty intensely. To do this I will have to draw upon the depth of the spirit with in to allow it to be the primary source of energy. Center

In the Raw ~ Nude by Laurie Justus Pace 24 x 36 inches Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas Contemporary Art for your Home SOLD There is something about color and the body and the play of lights and shadows that urges this forward. Actually painted from sketches I did in college YEARS ago, too many to count...but authenticate in my box of work. This is my third in the series of Nudes 2007. I did two in 2006. Yesterday I played in paint in the morning experimenting with a new technique and approach. Taking Diane's advise at least. Started another typical explosion of color painting and sketched out a commissioned wolf painting I will start this morning. I will finish up my first piece for the Hong Kong Gallery today too....and then get ready for teaching this afternoon. BUSY day. Even in the midst of the BUSY I know there is divine order surrounding me. All circumstances fall into place for God's plan, even the challenging ones. Walk in faith today and go forward with your faith know

MUSTANG WILD HERD ~ Horizon Horse Art Original By Laurie Justus Pace 60 x 18 x 3 inches Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas Contemporary Art for your Home SOLD It is barely morning....and we are heading into Dallas to clean up my father in laws house. I have been up awhile this morning. Should not have eaten Mexican food so late last night, but I did finish a good book! This painting was done yesterday before we did our shipping. We left for Grapevine late to mail out and ate very late...but I did finish this beauty before we did. This painting has 17 gorgeously carved out horses for you to enjoy! I am deeply honored to be complimented again by seeing both my wolves on black and my horizon horses imitated and duplicated by other artists. Originality is a prized thing in artwork when you collect it. As Diane always does when this happens to her, is find a new subject to explore, I will indeed follow her suggestion. Originality is a gift of creation...geez, look at each of us and how uniq

Little Tex ~ Longhorn Steer by Laurie Justus Pace 18 x 27 inches Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas October first.... wow and it still feels like summer outside. I must be in Texas. Sometimes I wonder WHY my parents moved here when I was four years old. I would have truly picked a better climate! This is my longhorn I did for the Dallas show, but it did not dry enough for it~ Thick paint was the problem! Inner peace...often hard to maintain when trouble seems to brew daily in our lives. We seem to complicate our every day existence by all of our commitments we make to everyone. Try to stay focused today on the peace that the Lord gives you so freely and you ignore so routinely. I leave you with the thoughts of peace that are there in your heart and mind...breath deeply and place yourself in God's light. Grace, Laurie “Live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you.”—2 Corinthians 13:11

PASSION ~ Horses, Equine Art by Laurie Justus Pace 18 x 27 inches Gallery Wrapped Canvas Contemporary Horse Art for your Home. SOLD Sunday morning early and I am groaning. Not sure what I ate at Tom's but from midnight on I have been chewing on heartburn stuff. I NEVER use that stuff, but woke up in pain. Currently I am sipping Peppermint Tea. I will be painting no matter what this morning but after that I think I will leave the studio and finish cleaning house if my body will move! Three hours sleep max so I am in a fog. This is one of those paintings that evolves on it's own from a greater spirit. When I am viewing it, I shake my head in amazement at where it came from. I guess life is like that too. We are so busy trying to figure out where we are going, all of a sudden we arrive and are clueless how we got there. God seems to work his best at that. I leave you today with the thought that God offers a healing to all of us. Affirm in faith that the healing power

CALL OF THE NIGHT ~ Wolves, Wildlife Art by Laurie Justus Pace 30 x 30 inches Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas Contemporary Fine Art for your Home Saturday early morning finds me blogging before the household wakes up. Terry is still asleep for the next hour and then he will be up and heading to work. Today I will be preparing food for Tom's birthday celebration where we will gather and eat later. I made a pasta salad last night and probably today will make a brown rice and sausage dish. This painting is the third in my WOLVES of the NIGHT Series. Reminds me of my two dogs, Annie and Paddy. I used a wide paint brush on this one with the same colors I used in the first two pieces. Harrison bought the first painting and I had to wait to ship it to him until he made it to their second home in California. He should have received it yesterday. I am anxious to know his thoughts. Niki bought the second one and she saw it Tuesday before she headed to NY to the Dog Shows with her little Ti

Boats at Sunrise by Laurie Justus Pace 4 x 6 inches Oil on Gallery Wrapped Canvas FRAMED. $75 SOLD Good Friday! I am starting out challenged today. I spent three hours on the phone with my baby brother tinkering with my computer issues. SO, three hours not painting on a day I normally paint. TODAY I WILL PAINT! I hope you all have a blessed weekend. We will be celebrating Tom's birthday this weekend. He is in the over fifty club...I will be cooking tomorrow for the party! Early Happy Birthday my dear friend! Grace, Laurie “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and acts on them will be like a wise man who built his house on rock. The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on rock.”—Matthew 7:24-25

White Tail Buck 2 ~ Deer, Wildlife Art by Laurie Justus Pace 22 x 28 inches Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas Contemporary Art for your Home. I decided since the last white tailed buck I painted sold off the blog, I would do another. This one has more intense colors and thicker paint if that is possible. Today is Thursday and that is my teaching day. This morning I will be preparing for my lessons and working on commission work. I have painted ponies to create, Lord willing! Also will be working on another nude, at least getting it started. I sketched it out last night on the floor, the canvas is 24 x 36. Have to paint my sides on the 48 X 72 inch Bevo as well, so it will be a full day already. When I struggled awake this morning the news was already blaring from the TV and Terry was up half dressed. I normally wake up easily and I was in a deep sleep and probably had the TV not been on would have slept through him leaving. I am one of those wives that gets up to prepare his breakfast an

BABY MAGNOLIAS ~ Flower Art by Laurie Justus Pace 6 x 6 inches oil on Panel FRAMED! $79.00 Contemporary Art for your Holiday This is one of my small paintings that I had framed at the Fabulous DUTCH ART GALLERY in Dallas. Priced to provide you a GREAT GIFT for someone in the upcoming holidays. This frame is a custom frame and the painting an original oil. Yesterday we had our Fire Inspection and did fine. YEAH. We left the house at eleven and stopped in at the Lone Star for the yummiest hamburgers west of Dallas and then headed in to start working at my Father in laws house. Just as we were arriving in Dallas our Realtor phoned wanting to find me. Someone was going to look at the house and she had no idea where we were or what was going on. I was able to reach Brendan to care for the dogs and we carried on with our job. Terry's cousin, Sandra, came to help. She and I had the kitchen cleared out in quick order and the bathrooms. We attacked the living room and den and they ar
