© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2026 Exhausted Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Some days leave us wonderfully exhausted—not because of work alone, but because they were filled with family, laughter, unexpected moments, and reminders of what really matters. This Sunday reminded me that success isn't measured by how much we accomplish, but by how deeply we love. Perhaps the richest days are the ones we never planned.

Under Texas Stars   © Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2026 Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Some of our sweetest memories begin with music. Long before I became a professional artist, a little transistor radio filled my upstairs bedroom while I painted on a drafting board that served as my first easel. Looking back, I realize music, friendships, faith, and art were already weaving together the threads of a life I could never have imagined.

Don't Miss Today's Blessings © Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2026 Racing the Sunset Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   The Perfect One My oldest granddaughter had a favorite saying whenever she found something she loved. "It's the perfect one!" A jelly bean... a cupcake... a pair of shoes... it didn't matter. To her, each moment held joy. As adults, we spend so much time worrying about tomorrow that we often miss today's blessings. After waking at 1:30 this morning and spending hours unable to sleep, I finally stopped trying to solve tomorrow's problems and began praying instead. God gently reminded me that He already knows the path ahead. That same lesson follows me into my studio. Every painting begins with uncertainty, but I've learned to trust the process, trust the gifts God has given me, and refuse to give up. My painting, Racing the Shoreline at Sunset, reminds me that horses don't worry about tomorrow....

A Quiet Morning in the Studio © Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2026 Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Some mornings the studio asks me to slow down. This commission is one of those rare paintings where I set aside my usual expressive style to honor the quiet relationship between a woman and the horse she loves. Every brushstroke is less about creating a likeness and more about preserving a memory. Not every painting is meant for a gallery. Some are simply meant to go home.

The book pages disappeared... © Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2026 Haunted Mesa Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   One thing struck me that I don't think I have put into words before. Book pages disappear. The viewer cannot read them anymore. But they still determine everything that comes afterward. Isn't that exactly how our lives work? The books we've read. The people we've loved. The grief we've carried. The faith we've learned. The roads we've traveled. Much of it can no longer be seen. Yet it is all still there, beneath the surface, supporting every brushstroke or piece of our life that follows. That realization makes this painting above feel even richer to me than it did before. It isn't just about a haunted mesa. It's about the hidden foundations we all carry—and how they quietly shape the beauty that eventually appears.
