Transitions in my Day

Painting in Process

Another Perspective

I am learning to follow where the work leads—sometimes into heavy texture and movement, and other times into softer transitions and layered color. It is within this balance that my expression is widening, becoming something more than it was before.


Several years ago, I created a painting called Celebrating Night to Day, inspired by the transition of sunrise. Painted on birch using a softer acrylic approach, it marked a shift from my usual palette knife work into a more fluid, layered process. The painting below was my first one to work on.. using wood and paint.


This painting came together over several days and was purchased before it was even completed—reminding me how powerful the process of transition can be. Not just in painting, but in life.

Now, I find myself returning to that idea again—exploring a transition from heavier textures into lighter movement, and bringing that approach into my horse paintings. Read more about my process on my website today. Elle

Sunlit Bowl

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 Sunlit Bowl Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   A Painting of soft pink and white flowers   created in 2013 brings back memories of living at Lake Cypress Springs. I loved it there. It did not love me!  Mold was my downfall.  I was prolific at painting there with my studio looking over the waters of a large catfish pond and Lake Cypress Springs. The mold pushed us back to DRY Dallas.  God guides our path today.  Memories are flooding in with the morning sun.  Proverbs 4:18    “ The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day.”  Today will be over 100 degrees but by Saturday the high is 79. Weather is the main talk these days. Remember I am in Texas.   We heard they may get snow in the Ohio River Valley. We are to see storms from the Pacific Hurricane coming our directio...

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...
