Laurie Pace - Fine Artist

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 Spirit of Fire Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Spirit of Fire is an intense early palette knife horse painting from about 2004 or 2005 . I was in a gallery in New York at the time and the owner bought the painting to put in her gallery.  I am thinking it sold but not for sure as we became close friends and she accepted a lot of my work at that time. I personally love the mane on the horse and the detail involved.  Sunday and almost noon here . We are just back from Church and this is what we studied. Jonathan Anderson was our pastor this morning at Countryside Bible.  Colossians 2:6-8 "Therefore, as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him;  being rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith as you have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.  Beware, lest anyone spoil you through philosophy and empty deceit according to the ...

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 Final Descent Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Horse Painting filled with action! Dark of night, moon high in the sky with mountains below catching it's moonbeams.  The horses are descending the mountain in the moonlight. Can you count them? I used a palette knife to carve out and discover each horse in the layers of paint on the canvas.  This sold from Mirada Fine Art.  Philippians 3:10 "That I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death." The rain of yesterday fell from dark clouds and rolls of thunder... and wind! It was a beautiful rainy day. I am not ready to hear that a heat wave is coming soon with a high pressure system halting our precious rain here in north Texas. Friday for me is house cleaning day and that is what I will be doing as I finish this blog.  We had early morning an...

"I will always remember painting this piece . I had just started sharing my painting process on Facebook when disaster hit with Facebook and someone posting porn on my personal page and then six imposters hit my Meta account charging $9999 to my paypal account for advertising.  Talk about feeling trampled as FB froze me in every direction allowing those imposters to continue business... I would walk away from the computer and begin work on this painting thinking, dreaming, canvas prep... all of it and finally as you saw in the prior posts, the journey began. It is done and all through the power of God and not me. I felt lost a few times in the middle of it and He pressed me forward. I hope you ...

   © Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2020 Reflections of Glory  by Laurie Pace - Sold.  Visit Ellepace.com to see available artwork.   It was a rainy summer in 2007.  The humidity was high when we went to bed the night before so when the train ran through town at 3:30 am, it seemed louder than normal as the engineer blew the whistle at crossings. The nearest crossing to us was only two blocks away.  I knew I would not go back to sleep, so I gently pulled back the sheet and quietly tiptoed to the door. The dogs were asleep as I quietly walked by... thankfully the studio was on the other side of the house. I left Terry sleeping soundly. Little did I know that I was about to paint one of my lifelong favorites. Reflections of Glory.    Read more... “May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, ...

   © Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2020 Summer Horse 100 from 2012  by Laurie Pace - Sold.  Visit Ellepace.com to see available artwork.   We were settled in for the night of Sunday movies, showered and ready for bed.  The wind was up outside but it was not until I saw out the window our 10 x 10 ft tent FLY across the backyard, that I realized something was not right. 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...
