© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 Appaloosa  Magazine Cover Painting on Cover is SOLD   by Laurie Pace   What a trip to be on the cover of Appaloosa Magazine. This was back in 2010. The more I look back the deeper my thoughts push me gently back to my easel.  Ephesians 3:16-17 " I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love." Most of us are battling something in life, be it small or be it large. I am praying for you that you realize only God can strengthen you with His Power, the Holy Spirit in your heart and Jesus Christ literally walking this with you each day.  I have to pray when I first awaken in the morning, usually around 4:30... to lay my fears and worries at the feet of the cross where Jesus gave Life. I am thankful none of us have ...

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 You Raise Me Up Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   From the dark skies comes a horse leaping above me in the painting. The strength and movement of a horse amazes me, especially on what appears to be such thin legs (except those quarter horses!).  Painting horses has carried me through 25 years at the easel.  Mark 11: 24  Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for i prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.  Cloudy day yesterday and another one today.

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 Spirit of Fire Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Spirit of Fire is an intense early palette knife horse painting from about 2004 or 2005 . I was in a gallery in New York at the time and the owner bought the painting to put in her gallery.  I am thinking it sold but not for sure as we became close friends and she accepted a lot of my work at that time. I personally love the mane on the horse and the detail involved.  Sunday and almost noon here . We are just back from Church and this is what we studied. Jonathan Anderson was our pastor this morning at Countryside Bible.  Colossians 2:6-8 "Therefore, as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him;  being rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith as you have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.  Beware, lest anyone spoil you through philosophy and empty deceit according to the ...

Dark of night, moon high in the sky with mountains below catching it's moonbeams.  The horses are descending the mountain in the moonlight. Can you count them? I used a palette knife to carve out and discover each horse in the layers of paint on the canvas.  This sold from Mirada Fine Art.  Philippians 3:10 "That I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death." The rain of yesterday fell from dark clouds and rolls of thunder... and wind! It was a beautiful rainy day. I am not ready to hear that a heat wave is coming soon with a high pressure system halting our precious rain here in north Texas. Friday for me is house cleaning day and that is what I will be doing as I finish this blog.  We had early morning an...

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 Tiny Red Roses Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   I have  sweet tiny pink and red roses on large bushes out side my studio window.  When I am at the easel I just simply glance to my left to a large double window and a spread of roses bushes is up past the window sill.  This sweet painting was completed sometime between 2008 and 2010.  1 Corinthians 6:14 "And God raised the Lord and will also raise us up by his power."  Short greeting to encourage you to turn to God this day and BELIEVE that He will raise us both up on the day His son returns. God is always with you. If your faith has cooled and your prayer life has dwindled, it is time for you to rekindle your relationship with God. He is working in your life, and even if your life is not inclusive of Him, He will continue to reach to you to return to Him. He loves you so. Since you were created in your mother's w...

Count the horses again!   This is 3 x 4 ft in size.   It was a commissioned painting and painted between 2011 and 2012.   John 11: 25-26  "Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?”   Storms hit early this morning around 4:45. The winds were strong at 65 mph. I am not sure if we had hail or not but it was reported in the area. The rain should be clearing by mid morning, and I know our trees and grass and flowers are benefiting from this moisture. Summers are harsh here.   Seems like our lives happen in the same way. Things arriv...

Color.  She is a unique horse and loves to play in the light of the sun every day. I do believe that is why the glimmers of color in the painting bring forth the beauty in this contemporary horse painting! Romans 8:11 "If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you."  What is incredible about having a growing faith and trust in God is brought to life through trials and temptations. Our family has been under many pressures and trials in th...
