In The Wild
Oil on Canvas  SOLD  by Laurie Pace  


"In the Wild"  this horse painting was pure knife work with layers of paint.  This would be strong in a 3 x 4 foot canvas. Patterned strokes of color, some are friends and some clash harshly.... Part of life!

Psalms 27:1  The LORD is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life— of whom shall I be afraid?

I am beginning a new commission piece. Yesterday afternoon I prepped the canvas with Scripture the client wanted on the foundation.  Then I use clear gesso with a bit of paint I used writing the Scripture.  The results left a heavenly feel to the surface.  Today I will be planning and partially dividing the area between sky and land... where the horses will be and the horizon and clouds, will come later. I will work ground up. 

The conversation I held with the client, enables me to share a few paintings done in the style I will be using and then the mock up on my canvas tells the rest. I am pretty sure I need to order a few paints.  I might take an hour to go through the chosen palette colors I will be using to see if anything is missing. This piece will be a wide brush painting. Layer upon Layer.... 

I am already thinking ahead to the holidays and wondering if I will have the inspiration to do a few new pieces for the website for shopping. Needing to think ahead today because here in Texas usually July has 15-20 days of 100 plus up to 120 degrees.  We are to hit 100 this week for really only the second time this summer.  August is always hot as well... 102-108 easily.  Drink lots of water and stay hydrated!  Elle

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 ...
