© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 West by Northwest Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Good morning. ..Woke with the Blues this morning, and that is not our Kerry Blues! The painting above is a favorite in my 'heart' colors of my painted ponies.  This was a large piece and was sold at Mirada Fine Art. This is the time for Holiday Commissions. Reach out to me on my website here .  Those hard days still pop up now and then . It was one this morning. I slept last night but the last three hours I was restless. I had no energy as I woke, and usually I pop right out of bed and start my day. I read a post on FB from a dear friend who lost her husband two years ago, and her words touched my heart as pain fell in tears down my face.  We are all faced with change and loss in life. In turn we are all gifted with joy and love as well. God does not ever leave us. He walks the valleys with us and He climbs the mountains with us, and He swims the waters al

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 Gathering Run Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Such a beautiful day!  Did not eat the best diet today and I probably gained 5 pounds... but tomorrow I will be prepared! HAHA... not. New Bible Study with food included!!!!  I might mention a large yogurt covered pretzel, and half of a taco rolled with egg inside. (I do not eat eggs... still it was hopeless. Lets change the subject.) The Gathering Run Horse Painting is a favorite with that LUSH LUSH orange and yellow in the center left and right, with pulls that resemble highways on a map.   Can you see the horses?  I think we have four in here.  mmm... maybe five here.  Just spotted another one.   Wish I knew or remembered!  Do you like these?  Any idea why we worry so much? Why did I ask, Do you like these horses? I must go way way back in my life as a worrier.  As a mom, I believe it arrived when the Kids arrived... but I know it was there way before. As a really

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 Cut Away Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   My Taylor Guitar.   It is not mine now, as I traded her in on a Martin. I traded my small individually built Taylor and my Laravee in toward the purchase of my new Martin Guitar.  I played the Martin last night. I bought it right after Christmas but my arm healing took until almost April before I could play again... Six months off the strings and my fingers are a tiny bit sore.  But life and music bring me JOY.    BTW, I gifted this guitar painting to one of my collectors who plays. Sometimes I want to gift and not sell things. God has given me much. I have been learning several of Chris Tomlin's songs. They are favorites of my oldest Granddaughter. When I am listening to this music without her here in my studio, I can almost feel like she is here. I can hear her singing with gentle love and full passion of her beautiful voice. This is music she painted to recently.  I decided these ar

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 Loosing Direction Oil on Canvas 30 x 40 Sold from Mirada Fine Art with artist Laurie Pace   Good morning.    Finally here in Texas we GOT RAIN. Can you believe light stuff last weekend, but Mon, Tues and Wed... it rained. Our trees are going to be beautiful this fall. Usually the summer heat has them turning brown in Sept and Oct and falling without color. Cannot wait to see the beauty in another month or six weeks. Our Red Oaks always go a beautiful red!!! I have been working in the studio on a Commission painting of a longhorn. Actually have energy to paint today and felt pulled to working the surface and considering what I was doing at the same time!  Multitasking the colors and the paint on the surface. This Painting  Loosing Direction was painted a few years back but I am wanting to revisit some horses in the same approach.   Time to buy paint and canvas for sure. Life has been busy. Still grieving the loss of a sw
