© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 Mesmerized  Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Morning from Texas!  This sweet painting lives at the home of the daughter of one of my oldest friends. I love her dearly for her strength and commitment to her family. She shared once with me that water gave her energy and peace, especially the ocean. I hope it continues to bring her peace.  Enjoy this day my friends. I am snowed under and it has been difficult to make my way through this morning. I knew I should have walked this morning as I believe missing my 3-4 miles walk is never good!! Shop other Available Artwork.  Sign up for my quarterly newsletter and painting sales.

© 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 ...

We all have seen happy moments, experiencing joy and laughter, and we all have seen pain, sorrow and even death, losing a loved one.  Our true trust and belief in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, provides us with His unfailing love, His unending mercy and His forgiveness when we repent and rest in Him.  If I was painting ‘this year’ I would tie this all into layers of color and overlays of the “ best and worst”  all meshing and blending to create this “2023 painting”, keeping part of the realism of events and still loosing them to the abstract thoughts that r...

You can see how the paint was spread from small squirts and blended in the photo above. The photo below is a close up of the upper right mid area you see with the reds and greens.   From there... I proceeded to find the horses and establish them.  I was working late at night, probably close to midnight and working by one spotlight lamp. (Terry redid the studio lighting when we moved from this large house where this was painte...

The unending summer heat in Texas is dragging us all down. The garden is burned up, the trees have to be deep watered constantly and we are now not mowing because the only way the yard will survive is not mowing low. Terry has been using the deep water probes moving them throughout the yard so no water is lost through evaporation using our sprinkler system.  I am waiting for a reminder letter from our HOA to mow. The endless days of 105-110 degrees (feels like 5-10 degrees higher with the humidity) curtails outdoor activities, including swimming after 2 pm. or even being outside to walk in the evenings at seven when the temps are still 107 outside. The heat and closeness in the house with drapes closed to bar the western sun, makes...

" This sweet baby came from an inspiration by Helmut Hussman on FB who shoots photos of wild horses… I may take the inspiration and go different directions than the original in color and background, but the love of horses and their spirit is always foremost!" Elle Tentative - Hesitant Have you ever been hesitant or felt tentative about doing something? The painting change from Oils to Acrylics is where I am at with both words.  I have painted in oils almost exclusively since 1981.  This change is being made for health reasons as well as not having 5-10 paintings hanging around the house trying to dry to send out!  I can tell you back in the days of ebay from 2002 till 2010... I was making o...
