© Laurie Pace         Graphics One Design 2025 Painting in Progress and not named yet. Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Saturday evening and a late blog.  The day has been filled with thunder and rain all day. West of us has had 15-19 inches and I am positive some flooding. We were to get more tonight but it looks like it shifted further south. Was hoping at least!   So this morning with the rain and thunder right out side my north two large windows... I watched the rain fall between my trellis of Passion vines... I continued to paint on this piece above and it is now almost done.   You can see from this photo in progress how I grid out to make sure the horses are in my sketch in the correct position.  I know it looks off as I had to pull it to fit in the frame... but they were all straight.  Photo foran almost finished piece tomorrow or Monda y.  Isaiah 54:17  " No weapon forged against ...

© Laurie Pace         Graphics One Design 2025 Flower Gathering Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Flowers to you!  I painted this in a workshop at the Dutch Art Gallery with Nancy Medina. She was an artist of Texas back then...now Colorado... and I took my mom to paint at this workshop too.  It truly was fun. I did sell it to a collector knowing it was painted at a workshop. I chose my own flowers and filled my own vase and followed Nancy's directions.  Isaiah 35:4 " Say to those with fearful hearts, ‘Be strong, do not fear; your God will come.'”  Had lunch today with our Lifestyle Group.  We are ramping up for fall and things to start.  Good food and great friends and as always... God is good and was there with all of us. Enjoy your Wednesday tomorrow. I have spent the rest of this day, morning until 11, and returning home at 2:30, up to now painting in my studio. I am 75% down with the...

© Laurie Pace         Graphics One Design 2025 Mid Morning Get Away Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Evening colors in my head but the painting is of morning light!    Palette Knife, CHECK Holbein Duo Oils, CHECK.  18 x 27 inch canvas, CHECK.  Mountains of paint piled high? CHECK.  Painting sold?  Check. “For God has not given us a spirit of fear but of power, love, and self-discipline.”  2 Timothy 1:7  I love painting with a palette knife. It is powerful to pile the paint high as you knife it on the canvas. Been working today on the flatter 4 x 5 ft painting. Hopefully tomorrow I can share some photos! Cooler weather in a few days dropping us from the high nineties to the low 80s.  I will take and love it.  Elle   Shop other Available Artwork.  Sign up for my quarterly newsletter and painting sales.

© Laurie Pace         Graphics One Design 2025 Three at the Watering Hole Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Short catch up for the weekend.   We had an older grand son with a birthday  and plans fill up today and Sunday. This is late for me to post on Saturday. We were at an Olympic Meet for Special Needs Children this morning watching one of our grandson's compete.  Great way to start the day! He came in third place out of a group... and he is only 12... the first and second place winners were 15 and 17.   Then is was lunch and of course Mexican Food!!    T his painting posted above is one of three in the Watering Hole series from several years ago.  They are all strong with reds! An artist tends to work on different palette colors through out the years of painting.  Matthew 28:20 "And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Tomorrow is church and I may paint tomo...

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 Single Run Pony Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   This is one of the best expressions with my knife and thick paint piling high.   I say that because there is a before and after and I continue past where I was in this horse painting. You can see there is not any thing reaching out with colors except the movement of gold yellow on the top of the head into the neck. I love it when I see one with photos of before... NOPE... not done and the final painting above carrying through to add color.  Psalm 23:4 “Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.”   This morning I am going with my daughter and granddaughter to watch our second oldest grandson compete in swimming for special olympics.  Hubby will stay here as we have Ecosafe coming to deal with the ants in the yard....

© Laurie Pace         Graphics One Design 2025 It's All Mine Oil on Canvas   SOLD   by Laurie Pace   FRIDAY!!!   Are you ready for the weekend?   I have spent the last week working pretty hard but unfortunately on the computer more than at the easel.  This contemporary horse painting was a small one with lots of thick layers of paint.  It is only an 8 x 10 inch painting, but the oil paint is very thick and full of ridges and depth. Hard to tell from the  photo.  I have a huge canvas to attack... for me to play on.  Isaiah 41:10 " So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." There are base layers of acrylic  paint and as you can see it is large.  I will be sketching this morning deciding what will grown upon this. I am feeling more vertical than horizontal. Als...
