Between the Lines

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 Close up from  "Between the Lines" Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   The close-up above is a small section of a much larger work—a   3 x 4 ft painting built with layers of thick Holbein oils . Created in the tradition of my   Painted Pony Pulls , this was the last large piece I painted for Mirada Fine Art’s special exhibition in   February 2023 . Below, you’ll find the full painting. You can also view it on the gallery’s website at   miradafineart.com The pulls in this piece are especially   bold, thick, and intensely layered . The palette knife has always been where my heart lies as an artist. There’s something mesmerizing about working with rich, buttery Holbein oils—mixing, carving, and layering them into   ¼- to ½-inch deep pulls   down the canvas. The result is both tactile and visually lush. These works drip with color, and I s...

After the Afternoon Rains

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 After the Afternoon Rains Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Treasures of Color!  The Painted Ponies in small size back a few years.  I imagine them on a Florida beach!  These are created with Pulls of paint of many colors.  "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the L ord  your God will be with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:9 We have been working on the fireplace and still a bit more work to go. We were told we have a bad winter coming on.  I will wait and see.   They are predicting a winter like we had in 2013 and early 2014.  That was 13 inches of solid ice on all the roads. Deep snow on top of it.  Are you ready for winter?  I cannot believe Thanksgiving is upon us! I am not ready for that either. Are you? Elle Shop other Available Artwork.  Follow the...

River Bank

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 River Bank  Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Good morning. .. Exciting news coming I think!!! But I have to wait to share it.  More art, more paintings and lots of knife work and color!   Romans 12:2 - "Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will." Sunday evening and I spent this afternoon pulling out 7 or 8 canvas that I will begin painting on tomorrow.  I will share as I can. I am going to pull my easel outside to the patio and paint out there. Will not be warm enough till 10 or so in the morning but we have a bit of summer hitting for the next 5-6 days and I want to be outside. The leaves will be turning soon and we will have piles of beautiful mess in the backyard and a lot of acorns fro...

Blue Range

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 Blue Range Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   OCT MORNING... cool as we woke up this morning at six.  I found this painting in my archives and love the richness of the depth of colors playing their parts in the composition. I am spending more time at my job for Women Artists of The West than I am for painting and selling special ones like this on my website.  Proverbs 4:5  Get wisdom; get insight;  do not forget, and do not turn away from the words of my mouth.   Loved our LifeGroup this week. We are covering Chapters in Genesis.  We are in the midst of Jacob and Issac. I am using my Torah and Chumash with notes in it comparing things to our Christian versions! Have you ever read Liz Curtis Higg's books ?  go to the Book... She has great fictional Biblical books... as well as great non fiction books.  I am finishing up the two books about the story o...

Wolf King

The Story of Lobo Rey... Wolf King-Chicago This is how it began... on the surface. Then it was covered with whites and grays. The Painting Started. How many wolves do you see? There are more than two. © Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 Lobo Rey in Process Commissioned Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   It was early fall when   I finished this painting for a client in Chicago.  It was for a new Restaurant he was opening. This was a pull and push and several reversals as I painted.  Did you count the wolves? There are two full wolves and small portion of a third wolf to the left edge.  He had a reason that is not mine to share, but it brought tears to my eyes.   "Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to act. Proverbs 3:27" If you are wanting a special commission painting for Christmas ... there is still time. I have to have all painting done by the third week ...

Summer Horse 10

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 Summer Horse 10 Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Good morning. . . late to the studio but thought I would blog quickly! This is a painting from a few years ago. I chose to post it because I loved the placement of shapes throughout the piece and the exchange and anticipation of colors woven through the composition. It is sold but I am gearing up for painting the rest of this week.  A generous person will prosper;  whoever refreshes others will be refreshed. Proverbs 11:25 Refreshed... it is supposed to be fall and we are definitely still bordering 90s.  Hoping for a break in the next week.  Still having to water our trees and flowers because of drought and we still have to watch being outside because of Air Quality Alerts.  Share a hug and a smile today if you can. It will bring a smile if you do!  My husband leaned across the breakfast table...

Push Against the Wind

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 Push Against the Wind 12 x 12 Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   This is one of my favorites from a few years go.  How it cam out of me I am not sure...but I love it as much today as I did creating it.  It sold right away after I completed it.   I have been working at my easel last week and experimenting with approaching an older piece never finished. It is alway fun to do this as the base is on it and I can push any direction.  Are you starting to think about Christmas Gifts?  It is time.  I will try to do some small things in the next few weeks for affordable gift!  Proverbs 18:16 " A Gift opens the way and ushers the giver into the presence of the great."  Here is to the week ahead my friends. House is in turmoil as we made changes to go with another installer for our fireplace.  Hubby and I are both worn out.  I am in the midst of ...
