Laurie Pace - Fine Artist

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...

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2026 Backfield in Motion Painting in process  by Laurie Pace   Starts with words... then comes color moving through out the surface. Often it follows with stars or circles or lines weaving through out.  Then the charcoal finds the horses in the patterns.  You can read more about the story on my website Blog, Studio Stories. There is a story with every painting for sure. Read more here .   Thank you!      BTW... it is cold outside.  We have had tornadoes and hail, and now in May temperatures in the fifties outside. Normally May is 85-90, and June is more in the high 90s with July and August in the 100's.  Well, this is Texas weather  more unpredictable this year!   Elle   • self-interest vs selflessness  •  New Year Christian reflection   •  f aith and relationships  •  humility in relationships...

Counting Backwards? © Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2026 Falling into Winter Herd Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Loving the Palette Knife and Addicted to Color The addiction to color is not limited to painting. It spreads to my clothing in my closet and my favorite rich colors through out our home.  This was triggered to look backwards when I saw a man created 5000 days of drawings etc and he ended up selling them for Millions. I look back to 2003 when I started painting daily and listing  paintings on ebay. by 2005 I was making over $100K a year.  I had fun with the paintings...and continued to list there selling paintings though early 2010.  Galleries from Jackson Hole to Denver picked my work up in  2008. I limited what I sold on ebay but continued because the bidding would usually exceed several thousand dollars.  Right place and right time! Going to clean out and sort one of my dressers...

Peaceful afternoon with the lake right outside my windows to the north. © Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2026 OLD RED in Progress Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Memories from Golden Pond Studio I thought we would live there the rest of our lives. I loved the studio. I flourished in the studio at my highest point of my career and launching into galleries around the world.  But this painting, OLD RED was one of my favorite.  Reflection at the Lakefront studio: I want you to read about this journey. Tomorrow I will share the final painting but meanwhile, stop by my Studio blog and read the journey as I took it.    Elle   • self-interest vs selflessness  •  New Year Christian reflection   •  f aith and relationships  •  humility in relationships   •     God’s calling to serve Shop other Available Artwork.  Follow the Spirit o...

On My Easel © Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2026 Painting in Progress Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   The Journey Unknown When you have a concept or idea for a client wanting an extremely large canvas a specific size to fit a frame they own... you really are not sure where the journey will take you.  The start begins with sketches and ideas floating between you and the client. Goals are set. Dates and a timeline is established.  Then you stretch the canvas and pray a lot.   Tied to the heart At this moment when the photo was taken, I had no knowledge of where it was going to go. It was to have two full wolves and one partial wolf, tying the painting into the heart of the client.  I clearly remember starting and then about four days later, changing quite a bit of my direction.  The cost of paint soared past $1000 easily as they layers built upon each other. If I come across additiona...

Behind me on the wall... © Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2026 UnNamed Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   I could not ignore her, she has been hanging there for 5 months. The hanging wall is not exactly what it sounds like... most are paintings in progress... some left longer than others.  I watch them over the days, the weeks and the months. I stop mid step yesterday afternoon and locked eyes with her eyes. She was pleading for me to bring her to the easel. I ask myself what needs to change, what direction does she want to go? I won't know until she is there... and I brought her over.  At this moment...  She is right where you see her minus the tape and will be bringing in more mutted colors.
