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 ...

In the Wild - Santuario de Caballos Salvajes

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 IN THE WILD Oil on Panel SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Good morning. .. this is a must for you to click on the painting and read about the Wild Horses in Texas.  Santuario de Caballos Salvajes  My past week has been upside down and hopefully between today and tomorrow we can put our house back together!    Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?” John 11:25-26 That is why not many blogs the past week. NO painting, no working in the studio..but moving things, rearranging things, packing things, throwing away things....    We removed an old 'appliance' fireplace that was almost 20 years old. It stopped working last winter. We had talked of putting in a 'real' fireplace  and that is happening. It unfortunately is not a solid...

The Awakening

We had a really early start around 5:30 am...but we saw the sunrise, met up with TWO of our dearest lifelong friends, shared a meal with one of them at a great Lake Highlands Breakfast venue!!  GOOD FOOD, great friends and family. That is the way to start a day.  Here we are late now, I am behind getting a blog up... so this is shorter than a normal blog! There is quite a bit of emotion tied into this painting and if you want to see the base of the canvas and the painting next to each other and a framed painting in the home, click on the painting photo above.   Have a great evening and a great day as you wake in the morning.  But blessed is the one who trusts in the L ord , whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its ...

We never know truly when someone needs to pray for us, or we are hurting, disappointed or even scared. We are going into Fall and ahead are holidays that bring families together, and many people are sad during this time. All of us have something going on in our minds that we are worried about or have trouble dealing with life.  You m...
