Flashes of Color ~ Abstract Horse Art by Laurie Justus Pace 24 X 36 inches Acrylic on Gallery Wrap Canvas Contemporary Art for the Home It's Friday. YEAH! I posted the above painting to show my work in acrylics. I had not done my pulls in acrylic before so this is the FIRST. Sometimes we are afraid or hesitant to step out try something new, so I did. I need to explore acrylics more. I was surprised by a phone call this week from a man named Rick Armstrong. My thanks to Diane for connecting us. Rick has a new gallery opening in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Diane is represented there as are some additional awesome artists. Rick had goggled my name and the first words from his mouth were, "You certainly have a web presence." He has invited me to be apart of the new gallery and I am sending work out on Monday. Here is the new website they are working on. Rare Gallery There are some interesting pieces and fascinating approaches. It is a gallery with great appeal. Last

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. Last night I woke to a rumble vibration deep in the earth. I have never felt anything like it before. At first I thought it was a train on the nearby track rumbling, but it was not. This was deeper in the earth and I could feel it just like you would a deep bass note taking over the foundation, the floor, the furniture etc. It ended and I began to relax and it hit again. I knew then I was not dreaming. I have NO idea what it was. I asked Terry this morning if it could have been the impact testing they do with all the gas wells out here in the country...he was not sure, but I know that the sound waves were strong and relentless. Life seems to be th

Buffalo Pull ~ Wildlife Art by Laurie Justus Pace 22 x 28 inches Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas Contemporary Art for the Home SOLD It is early. Terry was not sleeping well and woke me at three....so now it is almost four thirty and he is snoring away and I am wide awake. Figure it was a good time to blog. He worked physically too hard yesterday moving heavy refrigeration equipment at his dad's house. I am concerned he has hurt himself. The house is under contract and we have but 11 days to finish cleaning out the remainder of the garage. Our second concern is his dad working over there too much as well. I believe Terry is way over tired. This is a buffalo pull with oils. Painted from pictures I took this summer. Painted with the same patterns of pulling the paint and finding what flows from the set up. Somehow that seems to be life as well...so much happening and pulling around us and since we have such little control, we have to make life out of what is around us. There are sea

Stay tuned for my Blog. ...I am out the door to Dallas and will finish this once I am there. This is RED AND BLUE.....more to come, tune back in around nine thirty central time!. Laurie

Wyoming Moose ~ Wild Life Art by Laurie Justus Pace 18 x 24 inches Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas Contemporary Art for your Home. SOLD SOLD SOLD This moose is for Tom in Wyoming. He is the one that sent the list that brought on the Mountain Goat yesterday. Moose was number three on the list. I have not painted number two yet. Goat was number one. Hesitant because I have only painted three moose in my career...I stepped out and hit it with the same way I would a horse and I hope it worked. Well, my father in law's home has contract offers. We will be packing to ship early this morning and then hitting the road to get in to Dallas to do paperwork with him. Then tomorrow we will be back to finish or hopefully finish cleaning out the garage. My poor husband still has a huge task in front of him with that. His brother Howard was over there on Sunday digging out a path just to get in the garage. If you live in Dallas or Fort Worth and need any of the following email me by this afte

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
