Available Paintings by Laurie Pace 

This is another blend of expressive color and still representational subject matter... ie the horse.   This sold directly from my home studio about 12 hours after I posted it on the blog.  

In actions I am finishing up ON THE LAMB... and decided not to post progress pictures... because simply... most of it was painted straight in a 10 hour day... and touch ups after the main paint.  I am holding off till Saturday to post it!

Meanwhile... what would it be like to play hooky from your every day life?  Yesterday I shared one dream of a Canadian Trek... hummm what comes to mind this morning. What are you suppose to do in your sixties?  Our CPA convinced us early retirement was the way to go and that is what we did. We have had fun living at the lake, and now back near the grands...but I am not ready for the rocking chair and Saturday painting. 

 My dearest girlfriend has taken off into her ranching and farming full time and painting is when she has time or a commission.  I have known her since high school days.
Click here to see her blog and artwork and tales from the farm.


She LOVES doing her thing with her chickens, cows, honey bees and crops. She makes her own cheese.... drink's the mild from her cow. This is all from their ranch/farm...venison, peas and beets. 

Peaches from her peach tree... of which she makes so many things from desserts to just freezing them for use throughout the year.  I think she cans most things.








And this is her incredible homemade cheese.   Debbie stepped away from everything and jumped heart long into  providing for herself and family like our ancestors did. 

Terry and I are not much into farming... we have our garden going and growing thanks to so many helpful hints from Debbie.   Have only had tomatoes from the garden but soon to come bell peppers, squash, zucchini, carrots and more. I guess this might keep us from traveling right now...but I know in August I will be ready to bail from the Texas Heat.  Might be fun to go to Upper State New York... to the wineries there. The nights are cool and the days are filled with pleasant sunshine and real rain, something rarely seen in this part of Texas.



He made the moon to mark the seasons,
    and the sun knows when to go down.  Psalm 104:19

A Bit of Wonder Contemporary Horse Oil Daily Painting Art by Laurie Justus Pace 24 x 30 x 2 inches of thick buttery oils! Contact me to purchase: Laurie "This is the day that the Lord has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it". Psalm 118:24 It was a day of celebration yesterday as Lauren Gracen was born. Stacey began her labor around nine in the morning and was ready to push by 12:15, but they held her off while getting things set up. Took four good contractions with multiple pushes and the baby was there! All grandparents accounted for to count the toes and fingers! My admiration is for my daughter and her bravery and calmness despite the tension and newness of what she faced. I was honored to be there as the baby was delivered seeing my granddaughter push out into the light and take her first breathe... and then cry... and that she did. Terry was able to participate and he and Larry helped with pushing and getting Stacey upright for the process and then Terry was hon...

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 ...

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 ...
