Laurie Pace - Fine Artist

Deep of Night © Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2026 Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   While searching through my archives this week, I unexpectedly rediscovered a horse painting from 2015. What began as a simple search quickly became something more. Looking through the painting and its process photographs reminded me of the power of color, movement, and the artistic voice that has shaped much of my work over the past three decades. Sometimes a painting is more than a painting. Sometimes it becomes a reminder of who we are and what still calls to us after years have passed. As I consider new work and new directions in the studio, this rediscovery feels less like looking backward and more like the beginning of something ahead. On my blog I have three of the process photos. Really awesome to see them. They tell the story... Read the full story here and see all the different process photographs on my Studio Blog. ...

"Fleeing The Mountain Rains" © Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2026 20 x 30 inches Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   After several days of much-needed rain here in Texas, I found myself thinking about renewal. Rain changes color. The trees grow greener, the sky becomes clearer, and the landscape seems to come alive again. As an artist, I notice those changes immediately. This morning I came across an older painting I had not seen in years. Looking at the vibrant horses and rich palette knife color reminded me of a season when painting came naturally and joyfully. It also reminded me how much life can change our direction. After years of family responsibilities, loss, and time away from the easel, I find myself asking an important question: What comes next? Perhaps discovery. Perhaps a return to color. Perhaps a new chapter in the studio. Read the full story and reflections on renewal, creativity, and finding yo...

WIPE OUT © Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2026 It was a wipeout. You saw it before as a horse running toward you in blues and greens.  It was not working. It has hung in the studio for three months and I could not move it to the easel. Something was not right... So I grabbed a brush and color and covered it. I am debating horses running or a woman.... Quite a distance in choice. Read more at my website blog. I am better and back in the studio. Shipping some things to my gallery in Santa Fe tomorrow. You can read more about what has had me down on my website blog. Hubby and I both had something that took over 6 weeks to resolve. My faith and trust in God is what got me through this. Appreciate your patience and your prayers.   Elle     •  f aith and relationships  •  humility in relationships   •     God’s calling to serve Shop other Available Artwork.  Follow the Spirit of the Paint... with ...

What is your intention today? © Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2026 INTENT Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Trying to catch up. Little by little of course.  Enjoy the full story on my Website blog posted below. Intent? Every day we wake and rise, there is a full day and night ahead. Some people plan, others take the day as it comes.  I am a mixture of both.   I always need a direction if there are appts or things to be done. I am not so good at being still and trying to mend or get over something and the rash of 8 weeks has been an eye opener.   I am still sharing glances back with stories.  Enjoy your Memorial Weekend.  We will be celebrating our 35th wedding anniversary, but we have known each other since I was 11 and he was 13.   Beautiful years and so many memories.   Elle https://ellepace.com/blog-laurie-pace/intent-horse-0526      •  f aith...

The Battle of the Sun in the well loved Painted Ponies by Artist Laurie Pace © Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2026 Sunlight Play in the Meadow Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   We turn the pages back focusing on an unusual painted pony from my collection. It was completed in 2022 and sold from Mirada Fine Art in Denver. I am not a 'yellow' person at all. I use it for accent but rarely in this amount on any painting. Yellow, white and a light rich brown blend in the sky to the fields with green and brown and orange grass.  You can visually see the blue bridge start on the left side of the canvas  and pull across in strokes like a bridge or a mountain with pulls of blue through all the legs reaching the greens.   I am preparing in my heart and head for a possible show in North Carolina. I would like to enter my work and it be one of my painted ponies. I will be playing with a color palette be...
