 4000 Blogs as of today.


Today is my 4000th blog since I began in 2007.  I was clicking on NEW POST and I saw that pop up and decided it is worth celebrating.  


I am here to tell my stories and yours as well, through my painting. Color is the heartbeat of my work, but I have painted just as many quiet pieces to balance them out.

HERE you can click through to see some of my pieces hanging in homes. THE LOOK BOOK

Here are some unusual ones from the past: (ENJOY)


Reunion, International Art Show Best of Show. 2002


Between Two Points, International Art Show Best of Show. 2004


I loved my four month dabbling with contemporary pieces... These are just two of them and the stories they tell would make you smile!
The painting below was called REFLECTIONS and it sold the first day I added to my blog, from the blog! In those days we had Paypal buttons attached to things.







This was the original painted pony from a off balanced nude in a towel. The first one sold for a solid high four figures in late 2006 to a gallery owner in the United Kingdom.
The next two above and below, were from the same time period in 2008. The one above was The Herd and I cannot remember what I called the red horse, but it has remained a favorite of mine over the years. I love the color and the story behind it. The abstraction and yet still a horse.



I could dig through thousands of paintings. I am guessing from 2002 up to 2010, I was painting an average of six pieces a week and they were all 24 x 36 and larger up to 3 ft by 4 ft.   That would be approximately 2800 paintings over that period.  Terry had to box them... he can tell you many stories, including the night we had 7 paintings to ship Fedex and on the way to Fedex on a major highway... a red light... an 18 wheeler asleep at the wheel... rammed about 8 cars at a light coming down a hill at 70 miles an hour.  My little German Passat had some damage we were car three out of the 8... Terry saw it happening behind us and pulled on the Emergency brake and stood on our brakes saying HOLD ON BRACE YOURSELF.  All paintings were safe and mailed after we finished at the Emergency Room. 

LIFE AS AN ARTIST continues....

After we moved to the lake, I painted many 100 piece summers for small ones, did commissions every month through the years and gallery sales from The Rare Gallery in Jackson Hole, Two Park Cities Galleries, La Jolla Art Gallery, Mirada Fine Art, Kasum Contemporary, The Dutch Art Gallery, The Bereskin Gallery in Iowa and a beautiful art gallery in Penn Yan, New York. OH YES... and a gallery in Santa Fe, no longer there, sold quite a few pieces, the owner fell sick and left the country, and one of my favorite pieces was 'given' or 'taken away.  There was also a gallery in Singapore, and one in Hong Kong, ... and there was on in the UK that they bought and sold pieces from me. 

The commissions over the years have been world wide, with a large amount to Dubai, Australia, the UK, Singapore, Canada and the US. Down at the bottom of this blog are all the places I have shipped work. 

The painting that stirred a large following was The Good People painting, which was created for an architect in Chicago.  Since that time I have only done similar pieces and kept it at 10 total... not the same but similar. Jack Johnson inspired those pieces. "Where did all the good people go?" This one was called The Wanderers.  There is a large 60 x 90 for sale on my website!  It is the last one that will be painted.  If you think you want it, please use my contact me form and let me know. I will price it special for you! It is the last of the GOOD PEOPLE. Highly collectible.

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 ...
