  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2012 Beginnings of Starlight 30 x 40 Acrylic on Deep Canvas I had a color palette in mind when I began this painting. I did paint the surface first with layers of glazing but I used regular acrylics.  I will finish this one up for the final posting tomorrow.   Then next I want to try the same color palette but using fluid acrylics to compare the build of the layering.  It will be a different horse with the same color palette.

Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2012 Flowers of Fall 18 x 24 Oil Sold Words of my heart, Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and the seventy elders of Israel went up and saw the God of Israel. Under his feet was something like a pavement made of lapis lazuli, as bright blue as the sky. But God did not raise his hand against these leaders of the Israelites; they saw God, and they ate and drank. Exodus 24: 9-11 The best part of fall and winter is the intense blue of the sky after a cold front moves through.

TOMORROW a Give away Painting! Words of my heart... Let us go early to the vineyards to see if the vines have budded, if their blossoms have opened, and if the pomegranates are in bloom— there I will give you my love.  Song of Solomon 7:12 I always thought my roses and my zinnias were my staple each year with my Texas Lantana...but after having this passion vine planted this summer in honor of my FIL Ben Pace, I love having this blooming all summer and now fall.
