Palms by Day
 Size: 36 x 36  Oil on Canvas. SOLD

 Available Paintings by Laurie Pace 

This painting was one of two painted for a commission for a collector in Florida in 2006. 
This one below was the second one completed in 2006 entitled:

Palm by Night 15 x 30 inches Oil. 


When Jim contacted me about palms trees and swamps, I swallowed hard and said, "Sure, I can do it." I have seen palms trees through out my life, but can easily tell you, never a swamp in person. He came up with six pictures and the composition settled on was a part of each of those pictures. I couldn't wait to paint as the colors began to settle on the canvas. The larger one was a six day painting with about five layers of paint. What is eerie good about it is as you settle into the painting looking at it, you feel the greenness of the shade and the glow of the area surrounding you. It is surrealistic in a way. When Jim indicated the need for a long narrow painting I immediately envisioned this same area, different angle and at deep dusk; this painting too flowed from the paint brush creating itself as it carved out space and shape on the canvas. They hang in my studio right now curing out waiting to be shipped from Texas to Florida. I am going to miss this little piece of heaven in my studio. When I am stressed right now, I stand or sit back in my chair by the computer and lose myself in this swamp...a peace fills the soul. I am hoping Jim and his wife find this unusual calm when they unwrap their palms and hang them. 

 Contact me if you have a dream picture out there floating in your head! Let me bring it to life.

Sunlit Bowl

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 Sunlit Bowl Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   A Painting of soft pink and white flowers   created in 2013 brings back memories of living at Lake Cypress Springs. I loved it there. It did not love me!  Mold was my downfall.  I was prolific at painting there with my studio looking over the waters of a large catfish pond and Lake Cypress Springs. The mold pushed us back to DRY Dallas.  God guides our path today.  Memories are flooding in with the morning sun.  Proverbs 4:18    “ The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day.”  Today will be over 100 degrees but by Saturday the high is 79. Weather is the main talk these days. Remember I am in Texas.   We heard they may get snow in the Ohio River Valley. We are to see storms from the Pacific Hurricane coming our directio...

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...
