FALL ROUND UP Horse Abstract Painting by Laurie Justus Pace SOLD COMMISSION PAINTING 18 x 27 inches Contact me for your special Painted Pull Ponies! Laurie Monday Monday, Just LOVE that day! We have six paintings to ship to new homes today and we will be taking my work up to the DUTCH ART GALLERY for the upcoming show that starts this weekend. Remember if you are in the Dallas area, meet the artist is on Thursday night the 18th. Yesterday we scooted out of Dallas and drove east to Mt Vernon to visit Paul and Vicki Fletcher. Paul went to jr high and high school with us and Miss Vicki is his wonderful wife and the love of his life. That man takes such good care of her it just amazes me. They do not make husbands like Paul anymore. My Terry is good, but not that good! We saw the horses, cows, donkeys, rabbits, cats and dogs...enjoyed swimming and then a fabulous cook out with yummy hamburgers. I am going to put together a sight for Paul for his internet presence... he is running

HIGH MESA Horse Art Painting by Laurie Justus Pace Mixed Mediums Acrylic Overlays of Paper, Paint and Varnish Contact Me to Purchase and mention the title of this piece: Laurie I was experimenting yesterday and like the direction I am going. Tomorrow I will try something similar but different. I have two shows coming up, one here in Dallas and one in Marble Falls, so it encourages me to step out of the box. Yesterday we tried the electric collar on Paddy on a walk. I prefer not to walk my first walk with the dogs. You spend too much time worrying about loose dogs in the neighborhood with Paddy. Annie is great. She can go nose to nose with any dog smiling. Paddy, well lets say Terry kept raising the zap level. It was sad. He is definitely a special needs dog. Stacey phoned yesterday. She has made 14 weeks now with her pregnancy. Little Tink is reported to have precious little feet. She saw those the best on the last Doctor adventure. It will be another month before we know for

Windows of My Mind Abstract Art by Laurie Justus Pace 2005 Commissioned 30 x 30 inches SOLD Contact me for commission work: Laurie Saturday. I am still wondering how it got here! I have much to do today here in the studio in preparation for the show at the Dutch Art Gallery. The show starts on Friday the 12th, which I assume is next weekend, but meet the artist is not until Thursday Night on the 18th. Different but good! I really hope if you are in the DFW area you will come see the show. The Dutch Art Gallery 10233 E Northwest Hwy #420 Dallas, Texas 75238 214-348-7350 Training collar. We bought one for Paddy, Terry's dog. He is a terrier terror to take on a walk. He is into everybody's business and barks at anything that is not human. He truly doesn't bother with people, it is birds, cats, other dogs etc... and he is going to have them for dinner. Walking with Terry has been wonderful this week as we have left the dogs at home. I panic when Paddy is with us because

My Sister Commissioned Painting Girl, Dog and Horse by Laurie Justus Pace SOLD This was painted about four or five years ago, but I was going through old pictures and found it! Yes, I have not been painting as much to finish things. I had to dig in old files to post this morning and chose this sweet commission piece I did for a collector in the south. I love working with memories! Yesterday we tenderly drove my dad to a VA facility in our area of Texas that has an Alzheimers Wing. My older brother, my loving husband and I gently moved him from the respite care he was in to this facility where we all feel he will get better care. The folks there are small town folk with huge hearts. They all chipped in to help us get him settled as Mom filled out mountains of paper work. It is sad knowing he is an hour away instead of two miles away, but we firmly believe the care is the best we could find. It was a sad day for all of us and yet we must stand firm in God's grace knowing the de

Sisters Children Oil Painting Picking Flowers by Laurie Justus Pace 36 x 48 inches Oil on Canvas Contact me to purchase and mention the title: Laurie I want to hurry through my blog this morning so I can go walk. The temperatures are in the sixties and I want to be out there! We still have a strong wind but it feels good. Terry has one more week of vacation. He has several projects he has attacked and I am hoping they get finished. Today we are helping move my dad to a new facility and praying every step of the way that the care will be good here. I will write more tomorrow... the day is escaping and The sun is up and I want to walk before we have to go pack Dad up. Yesterday we ate a late lunch wtih Justin at Abocca's in Richardson. I had to get art supplies at Asel Art. Catcing up we covered every subject of our loved ones. When Terry and I left I started humming my latest song by the Beatles "there are places I remember.... all my life..." and my brain sings the s

NUZZLE Horse Oil Painting by Laurie Justus Pace SOLD 18 x 27 inches Oil on Canvas Contact me for Commission Work: Laurie Steps for yesterday were 9,575. We only walked once yesterday morning and we went a little over two miles and that was up and down steep hills here in Lake Highlands. The hills are pretty darn steep. I was worn out when we were done, but felt good all day. The leg cramps are gone at night with increased potassium, magnesium and exercise. BUT the little twinges of spasm remain. Reminds me of an eye twitch in a way but the movement cannot be seen, just a flick of a butterfly wing feeling. THANK YOU to all with suggestions. I have ordered the Gel Mat and can't wait to get it. I have a mat, but it is not very soft... I spoke with the gallery here in Dallas. The show opens on the 12th but meet the artist is on the next Thursday night. I am wild trying to finish everything and worked until ten last night. She wants it all early, not like the other places that

YELLOW ROSE Rose Flower Painting by Laurie Justus Pace 8 x 10 Oil on Canvas SOLD Contact me for commission work: Laurie Yesterday I walked 12, 567 steps. YEAH. This blog will be short as Terry is waiting for me to finish so we can go do two miles this morning. We had a full day yesterday walking a mile and then errand running to pick up Norton 360 for his computer, Mac doesn't use that stuff, propane for the grill, and meat for the grill. We came home and made hamburgers, Barbecue chicken, grilled corn on the cob and grilled zucchini. After that we dozed and then walked two miles, Showered and had a late date to Half Price books where we spent two or three hours and came home with lots of good stuff. 20% off sale helped too! Today is shipping so we will be out and about this morning. I keep waiting for rain from the hurricane, but we have not seen a drop. When I was cleaning around my desk I found one of my favorite verses on a slip of paper and I have mounted in on the side o

HORSE PLAY TWO Horse Oil Painting by Laurie Justus Pace 24 x 24 inches SOLD Contact me for commission work: Laurie Did you realize that your life truly has nothing to do with what you are doing right now? Your life has everything to do with what you are being. We all seem to get caught up in the "doing" of things every day. I do not believe that is why God has us here. He has in mind a sacred journey with our lives to be and to be more than one thing. We have choices to Be Happy; Be Content; Be Safe; Be Peaceful; Be Forgiving; Be Compassionate; Be love. ..etc The bounty is truly there for us but we often choose to be depressed, tired, worn out, overworked, and angry. Time for an attitude adjustment. As I told one of my children recently, they are truly a wonderful person. They are warm, friendly and kind. They are their own worst enemy though because of their choices to sabatoge what could be a good life. They do not feel worthy of it. Listen up, YOU ARE WORTHY. You a

Through the Mist Equine Horse Western Art Oil Painting by Laurie Justus Pace 24 x 36 x 2 inches Contact me for information and mention the title of the painting: Laurie Leg cramps are driving me crazy at night again. I need to increase my potassium and I need to figure out what it is I am doing that is setting it up. The entire time we were in NY I never had one leg cramp...so do I stop painting? Either has to be the expensive ergonomic chair I sit in or the standing the rest of the day on the brick floors. If you have a clue, let me know! I told Terry that this was my quest over the next few days to solve this mystery so I could sleep through the night with out the sudden cramping pain. On another level I know God is trying to tell me something and if I don't figure it out something worse will happen. So this is my quest. Being spiritual aware of His presence in my life, I know there are things before me I simply do not see. Transformations take place and we stay ignorant o

Power of Red Horse Art Abstract Oil Painting by Laurie Justus Pace 18 x 27 inches Available at Patina of Marble Falls Contact: John or Marnie Waking up with a massive sinus headache is not my favorite. Unfortunately for many of us living in the DFW area this is common for this time of the year. The ozone levels are level RED which is really really bad. Terry and I were out in it yesterday. We went to Cavanaugh's Flight Museum in Addison. (north Dallas) Sun and wind proved to leave me in bad shape so today will be a dull ache day. Before the Museum we had lunch at Margiano's where Morgan works. The Halibut was fabulous and something I wish they would carry on the main menu. WOW! I have been working on small pieces for the Dutch Art Gallery Show. Several small 8 x 10's and a 9 x 12. Today I will do a larger piece and they we may print some giclees. I had hopes of a few days off, but with all the shows I do not think this is going to happen. Terry mentioned helping me w

Power of Blue Horse Art Abstract Oil Painting by Laurie Justus Pace 18 x 27 inches Available at Patina of Marble Falls Contact: John or Marnie We are home, and it is early. I am going to blog and the work on pieces for my show here in Dallas at the DUTCH ART GALLERY. I am hoping all of you that live in the Dallas/Ft Worth area will come and see me at the show. It is Sept 12th. More info to follow. Terry and I have been in pretty deep prayer over two major things in our life. We are either not quiet enough and listening, or we are overlooking something God has left for us to discover. Terry has one day left to decide if he is going to take a retirement offer of early retirement from American Airlines or gamble on continuing to work for the company. Of course in his heart he wants to keep working. We do not have enough set back to actually retire right now. Please continue to stand with us on prayer right now. One day we will look back at this time and will know how things played ou

Hidden in the Light Deer Wildlife Buck Oil Painting by Laurie Justus Pace 18 x 24 inches oil on canvas Contact: Laurie We are in Marble Falls Texas. We drove down yesterday to Blanco Texas to the Rain Bird Gallery that has some of my work. I picked up a few pieces from there to bring to Patina here in Marble Falls. John and Marnie Stange are UNBELIEVABLE folks. If you live in the Austin or San Antonio area, or even Waco, Temple, Dallas or Houston...it is worth the drive to see this fabulous shop. I thought no gallery could top the incredible feeling of creativity, beauty and fullness of Earth Works in New York, but Patina does this. I have a show here at Patina October 10-11th and will be returning home with many ideas on what to paint. The following weekend is The Rain Bird Gallery's Anniversary Show of the opening of the gallery. I will do a special painting for them as well. I need to update my website because there is a show in Dallas on September 12th at the Dutch Art Gal
