Getting unstuck is not the easiest thing to do.  All of us seem to be in a routine of comfort and even thinking about doing things differently brings anxiety which leads to many other things.

The painting images taped to the canvas are my older pieces
and are up there because I am painting something similar
for a commission painting. Keeps the color flavor fresh for me.


Terry helped me rearrange my studio again. I need to buy a new chair for in here. My laptop is set up with a small TV for that 'noise' I crave when I grow weary of music. I am really into the DYI station and learn so much by just listening and glancing up on occasion. 









 The idea is for me to connect to a computer while working for my camera shots. I have been literally running up and down the stairs, shooting, reshooting and running up and down. I do realize this is good exercise, but it really disrupts the creative process on the canvas. I take photos into photoshop and study them in reverse to see if my composition holds up. With the computer upstairs I was having to mark the picture up in photoshop and print it off and bring it down so I could see what needed to be done. This will keep creativity at a smooth level.

I am debating on getting  larger computer screen for work I do off of my photos.  One thing at a time.  He wanted to paint my walls but I said no. I have hangers for my canvas everywhere and paint gets on the walls easily. 

 So I will stay with the color awhile longer until I figure out what I want on the walls... probably another two months... then I will be ready.  


It is so important to 'nest' into your studio.  You want to be 'drawn' to it in a positive way. I have struggled with that at this house. First time ever in fact.  The next two months will be dedicated to making it my world.

Arrival...Refrigerator?

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 Arrival Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Proverbs 16:3 "Commit to the Lord whtever you do, and he will establish your plans."   Worrisome times laced with prayers.   The world seems like a scary place lately. Praying for everyone affected by the last two hurricanes.  My adventures today were the result of a dead refrigerator. I have loved my Kitchen Aid refrigerator very much. The first one in the 'French Kitchen' look died at 13 months. Hubby wanted the same refrigerator. Well this one made it four years and a few months. I cannot believe appliances are not made to last longer...but wait, is that because they make more money if we have to replace it in 4-5 years?  You replace your mattress at least every 7 years... and your washer dryer, you might get 7 years out of those... The stoves seem to make it closer to 10 years. We are Lowe's customers, and Robert and Shelia at the Southlake Lowe's in Appliances

The Marsh... of our lives? Walking with God.

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 The Marsh 6 x 12 inches Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   I did two of these paintings about three years ago. They both sold immediately to a Florida Collector. Simple and elegant for a horse painting.  Ephesians 5:1-2 "Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma."  One of the biggest challenges in walking with God is trusting Him and not trying to out think Him or to do everything your way. It never works.  The Apostle Paul wrote of his own struggles in Romans 7 .  Romans 7: 22-23 “ So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me” I can only speak for mys

Piano Girls

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 Girl on Piano Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Our prayers are with the southeastern Gulf coast as a hurricane approaches. We have family and friends in this area. This painting was a more impressionistic piece than the Girl on Piano pieces from 2008-2010.  It is the tilt of the head and the precious lift of the hand with the outer small finger delicately angled. Not quite old enough to be using pedals, her feet are crossed below the bench. Back in the day of my lessons and playing in the late fifties and early sixties, young girls wore dresses. I miss those days. I still prefer dresses over pants today... even my studio jeans.  One of my modern girl on Piano pieces.... "Playing for Papa" These make incredible gifts for the holidays using music that is important to you or to the person receiving the gift. In the midst of commissions right now.  I loved playing for my grandmother and my Dad.  Shop other Av
