Contact me to purchase: Laurie


Oh my gosh. It is Wednesday early, not quite six and I am up to paint immediately! I do have to pull some clothes together for donations being picked up today and put some old furniture out for additional donations. But I will wait till daylight. It is far from now with the DLS time.

My mother is mending with the love of the Lord and her family at home. Thank you again for your prayers with her hospitalization.

I am working on a commission pieces today for a horse ranch in Lufkin, Texas. It is a 3 ft by 4 ft painting of three of their favorite babies. AND then will sketch out a horse for a commission piece that will go live in Washington DC. After that work for the new gallery in Massachusetts, small pieces at least and hopefully to return to a portrait of a young girl that has been pending since the fall. Every day I come in this studio hoping to catch up, but have realized yesterday that will never happen. I must allow the journey painting to unfold as it comes. The unknowing of the future must be left in the hands of a knowing God. Our Father has the whole scoop and my trust in his timing must be total. The unknowing future must be trusted in pure faith to the knowing Lord. Keep that thought tucked close today.

In Faith,
Laurie

I haven't been to your site in a while and I'm happy to see that your still painting so often. I just bought a new house and am in the process of moving, but the great thing is that now I think I will finally have space to paint at home.

This is beautiful, Laurie! I like the composition and brushwork. Do you have these trees blooming already?

We are just starting to see the ground here in north Idaho, as the snow is starting to melt in the valley. No flowers yet.

Arrival...Refrigerator?

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 Arrival Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Proverbs 16:3 "Commit to the Lord whtever you do, and he will establish your plans."   Worrisome times laced with prayers.   The world seems like a scary place lately. Praying for everyone affected by the last two hurricanes.  My adventures today were the result of a dead refrigerator. I have loved my Kitchen Aid refrigerator very much. The first one in the 'French Kitchen' look died at 13 months. Hubby wanted the same refrigerator. Well this one made it four years and a few months. I cannot believe appliances are not made to last longer...but wait, is that because they make more money if we have to replace it in 4-5 years?  You replace your mattress at least every 7 years... and your washer dryer, you might get 7 years out of those... The stoves seem to make it closer to 10 years. We are Lowe's customers, and Robert and Shelia at the Southlake Lowe's in Appliances

The Marsh... of our lives? Walking with God.

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 The Marsh 6 x 12 inches Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   I did two of these paintings about three years ago. They both sold immediately to a Florida Collector. Simple and elegant for a horse painting.  Ephesians 5:1-2 "Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma."  One of the biggest challenges in walking with God is trusting Him and not trying to out think Him or to do everything your way. It never works.  The Apostle Paul wrote of his own struggles in Romans 7 .  Romans 7: 22-23 “ So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me” I can only speak for mys

Piano Girls

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 Girl on Piano Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Our prayers are with the southeastern Gulf coast as a hurricane approaches. We have family and friends in this area. This painting was a more impressionistic piece than the Girl on Piano pieces from 2008-2010.  It is the tilt of the head and the precious lift of the hand with the outer small finger delicately angled. Not quite old enough to be using pedals, her feet are crossed below the bench. Back in the day of my lessons and playing in the late fifties and early sixties, young girls wore dresses. I miss those days. I still prefer dresses over pants today... even my studio jeans.  One of my modern girl on Piano pieces.... "Playing for Papa" These make incredible gifts for the holidays using music that is important to you or to the person receiving the gift. In the midst of commissions right now.  I loved playing for my grandmother and my Dad.  Shop other Av
