We both reacted quickly and hit the back door with slippers forgoing our boots.  The tent had been staked firmly into the ground and been up for the past week sheltering our young peach tree from the summer burn of a week of 105 plus temps (heat index well over 110).   The tent was upside down and push into the branches of a large red oak mid yard.  The tent would have been in Waco by now if it had not been for the tree.  It took both of us wrestling the metal stand to hold it still while Terry unhoo...

I know they are in Texas, but this morning we spent the morning with our almost five year old grandson on the square at Southlake Texas.  We danced by the fountains, tossed in coins, and ate huge cinnamon buns at a near by bakery.  As we sat beneath the trees in the shade around 10:30, it was about 75 degrees outside and the wind was from the north and cool.  This is unheard of in Texas in August.   Definitely a summer I will remember and attach it to a previously completed and sold painting, Summer Winds! Summer Winds is a contemporary palette knife oil painting of four horses with beautiful summer colors.  “ So may all your enemies perish, LORD! But may all who love you be like the...

   © Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2020 By Dawn's Early Light  by Laurie Pace - Sold.  Visit Ellepace.com to see available artwork.   This was back a few years... like 11 years maybe.  The colors are mesmerizing to me with the contrast of of night and day as the colors of cool are replaced with the warmth of light. There is something here to build on in this painting and it may trigger a new piece this next week.  “When she returned, he would take great delight in showing her how much he loved the morning, when the air held a tang of freshness and the early light dispelled all shadows.” Karen Hawkins Isn't that amazing... 'the air held a tang of freshness'.  I can imagine that in every season as the sun wakes the day and the night is pushed away.  This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it!

I am betting it was the earth tones in the composition.  Not too much loud paint in this one but you get the connection between the two horses. There is a connection between us and our Father. We are made in the likeness of God. As a human we have the ability to chose and make decisions in life.  We are aware spiritually, physically and mentally to all around us.  E...

Three Boat Sunrise    © +Laurie Pace         Graphics One Design 2014  Size:18 x 24  Oil on Canvas. Sold Available Paintings by Laurie Pace  When I paint this scene, which I have in several paintings and in various sizes... I always feel like I am there... at the foot of the steps... I feel like I have woken up before everyone else and run down the stairs just in time to see the sun rising in the sky.  The colors vivid and bright on the surface of the water... the boats all calmly tied to their moorings. The flavor of Italy or Tuscany in the balance with the landscape bring adventure to the painting. Are you upstairs in a window looking out, or downstairs at the waterfront watching the day awaken? Your word, Lord, is eternal;     it stands firm in the heavens. Psalm 119:89 #Lauriepacepaintings  #Italiansurisepaintings #Sunrisepaintings Laurie Pace A Texas Artist...
