Cut Away and the Beauty of Life

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 Cut Away Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   My Taylor Guitar.   It is not mine now, as I traded her in on a Martin. I traded my small individually built Taylor and my Laravee in toward the purchase of my new Martin Guitar.  I played the Martin last night. I bought it right after Christmas but my arm healing took until almost April before I could play again... Six months off the strings and my fingers are a tiny bit sore.  But life and music bring me JOY.    BTW, I gifted this guitar painting to one of my collectors who plays. Sometimes I want to gift and not sell things. God has given me much. I have been learning several of Chris Tomlin's songs. They are favorites of my oldest Granddaughter. When I am listening to this music without her here in my studio, I can almost feel like she is here. I can hear her singing with gentle love and full passion of her beautiful ...

IN progress... Wolves by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

   © Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2023 Wolves in Progress 38 x 58 Oils on Canvas COMMISSIONED PAINTING    by Laurie Pace   Shop other Available Artwork.  Sign up for my quarterly newsletter and painting sales. I will always remember this painting. The verse written on it you have seen on this blog and my website... the Lord's Prayer covers the front of the canvas before a light wash of rust red was tinted over it. The wolves were drawn on and the painting began. This is truly a one of a kind, and the best thing to get is a commissioned painting that is one of a kind.  "Blessed are the Peacemakers, for they will be called Children of God." Matthew 5:9 A short blog today. Been busy with learning curves on FB, and Instagram, cooking and then tending to friends.   We all have times in life where our feelings may be hurt by words from others, some intentional hurts, and some that just sl...

A Painting a Day ~ Niki ~ Acrylic POP Art Painting by Laurie Pace 30 x 30 inches Acrylic on Canvas SOLD Contact me for commission work: Laurie © Laurie Pace 2009 " From the fullness of His grace we have all received one blessing after another. " John 1:16 A Painting A Day: Pop Art a favorite for many of the younger generation and me too! I love the simplicity of blocked color and form and the intensity of the subject matter defined so clearly. Pop Art is a movement that began in the mid fifties in the UK and by the late fifties, it was here in the states. Pop Art takes an object and isolates it from a complex composition into a simple composition. It shares many of the same qualities as Minimalism; both are stand alone attitudes in their creation. This was painted for a dear friend in the D.C. area and it hangs lovingly in her home... she has the attitude that you see in the painting. Of course that is totally up to your personal interpretation. *** Exciting news a...
MORNING HAS BROKEN Huge Horse Equine Palette Knife Oil Painting by Laurie Justus Pace Morning has Broken 30" x 36" (76.2cm x 91.5cm) $1800 SOLD!!! THANK YOU! I finished this painting yesterday morning. It was a three day piece as I worked on it in stages as some had to dry before I went to the next one. Let me know what you think of it as it is a different approach to me. I will be exploring it further today with some other pieces. Last night we were watching ELI STONE and something was said about the gift of Grace that God gives us. I wish my brain could quote the phrase but I cannot. Something like, Grace is a gift that God gives to us. It is His Grace that strengthens us. Every day we face life filled with a range of experiences. It is important for us to keep God center in our lives and giving thanks as we live our life and journey through the day's happenings. God provides each of us with a measure of grace to face the day. Think of it that w...
Looking into Grace 24 X 30 inches Oil on Canvas A Painting a Day by Two International Artists! WOW, what energy from Conni's stay this week! Yesterday we finished up the painting we started on Sunday night. Sunday Night we worked until after Midnight...then grabbed a few hours of sleep and drove north to St Jo Texas to visit Donna Howell Sickles in her church/gallery/studio. After two hours of soaking in the gentle beauty there and visiting, we drove back through HUGE Texas Storms. There we were on some back country road that Donna sent us site seeing on, LOST. Found some highway workers and found our direction and about that time the heavens opened and the winds from the storm tossed my little Passat here and there! We found a home to pull up next to because the rain was so heavy we could not see. We were happy to arrive home an hour later and begin painting! This was a blast. Two artists, Two styles, Two matching palettes for color balance and hours of fun! Can't even b...
