© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 Watering Hole Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   The Watering Hole painting is a gathering of four horses around a pond. I keep looking for the fifth horse because I usually paint in odd numbers but this is definitely four unless you see one lurking in the background.  Do you? I would also like to know if you like this style of horse painting?  It is very  contemporary.   I was thinking of doing one similar this next week. Should I?  Deuteronomy 7:9 "Know therefore that the Lord your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commandments." I have been in prayer often throughout the days of late studying the Bible and deep into scripture and gaining more wisdom despite my old age!  There is always more to learn and discover about living your journey here on ...

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 RED and Woven Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   This was going to be my last painting two years ago as my mother was ill and in care... and I probably have only done maybe seven since then.  I pushed a few limits in this one wanting to maintain an abstracted feeling to it all and believe I was able to do that. I am working on flowers still on the easel.  Will be back at it after I finish this blog! Horse Paintings with a twist for sure looking back two years.  I am painting right now on some flowers, but slowly realizing times and places are changing. Are you ready in life? We lost a dear friend last weekend from our High School Class.  He will be missed by everyone that has known him in his lifetime.  Romans 6:6-7 "For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that we should no longer b...

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 SUNFLOWER TRIO 24 x 36 Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Sunflower trio is from early summer photos here in Texas. The Texas heat tends to sap them as the summer hits July and August. When we would be driving home from Dallas into the country where we live, the highways were not the massive ones of today. Sunflowers grew randomly throughout the land near the road. These were lush!! Painting these sunflowers were actually bringing praise to God on the canvas as I worked.  "The Spirit of the Paint" from Him to my heart and brush.  Philippians 4:8 " Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things."  You are not only what you eat, but you are what you think and do, influenced by your friends interact...

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 A Hug Between Friends Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace     This Horse and Child painting was a small palette knife painting that sold the day I finished it. The relationship between young children and horses can be magical and forever as they grow up together. She takes refuge in the closeness of her horse.  Psalms 46: 1 " God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble." He is our refuge ands strength....I thought the roof was lifting off early this morning!  I was up at 4:30 letting our dog out before the storm hit. The weather sirens began in earnest and there is no difference with strong winds or a tornado.  I stayed in bed with my dog next to me!  Hubby was up early with the noise and started breakfast.  Those 75 mph winds struck at 4:45 this morning. There is damage all over the Dallas Ft Worth Metroplex.  We seem to ...

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 Spring Meeting Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   The beautiful horses in this painting are out in the spring sun in Texas, although, it is really still February! It is near 80 degrees outside and last week we were down at 2 degrees. The whimsical bright colors and the brilliant sky make each horse stand strong in position at the stream they stopped to drink. True heavy palette knife with very thick strokes of paint.   My painted ponies are alive with color and wide knife strokes!  Hebrews 11:1 "Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see." Building confidence in God as I let go of worries and decisions that are truly not mine to deal with.  Do you find that in life, that you are always trying to be helpful with ideas for others and for yourself?  God knows what is best! Seek His Light...  Shop other Avail...

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 Dawn's Early Light Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   This contemporary colorful horse painting was done in 2015 for a show, and it sold in the first few days. I have a passion for color and a strong eye for composition. This piece was done in 'one paint', in other words, no painting over it.  I rather liked the approach even today looking backwards.  1 Peter 5:7 "Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you." I chose this verse in thoughts that many of us are going through trying times.  In Bible reading it is evident if you have anxiety or fear, you are not at peace with God and His way.  Our trials are challenges for us each to learn to not have the fear or anxiety or worry.  One writer said the actual words, "If you have fear or worry, then you have a door open for Satan."  Next time I blog, I am going to try to remember the book I...
