“It may not sell.”

Those were Steve's words when I shipped this painting to Mirada Fine Art Gallery and he opened the package.

There they were.

Five rather substantial buffalo staring back at him.

They weren't peacefully grazing in the distance. They weren't standing majestically beneath a western sunset.

They were coming straight at him.

I had begun the painting knowing where the buffalo would be. The mountains created strong V shapes behind them, directing your eye toward the herd.

What I didn't know was how much color those buffalo would eventually acquire.

The buffalo weren't born crazy-colored. They became that way.

Apparently, quite enthusiastically.

By the time Steve opened the package, those five buffalo had become exactly who they intended to be.

His assessment?

“It may not sell.”

Well.

I had already painted them.

I had already shipped them.

And the buffalo certainly weren't going anywhere.

Except, apparently, they were.

The painting sold immediately.

Someone walked into the gallery, saw those five beefy, colorful buffalo coming straight toward them and thought:

THAT ONE.

After all these years of painting, I have learned something about art.

You never really know which painting will find its person.

Sometimes it's the quiet one.

Sometimes it's the beautiful one.

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...
