"This was a journey I enjoyed. From a tulip photo I took in my kitchen about 10 years ago... I tried looking at it and dissect it into a "pop" feeling to it. The creativity part was relaxing and the final touch ups very rewarding!  The background is my favorite blue on the right side. The underlay of the painting had a soft bright orange that comes through near the bottom. Hope it calls to a heart for a new home! Makes me want to party! "  Changing Directions I remember my father-in-law and his wonderful sense of humor.  I only saw him angry twice, the rest of the time he wore a smile as big as Texas and it made his eye wrinkle up and smile at the same time.  His favorite saying was,  "He can get glad just like he got mad."   Ben Pace did n

A Bridge into the Unknown - Familiarity

   © Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2020 Hydrangea Block Up  by Laurie Pace - Sold.  Visit Ellepace.com to see available artwork.   “I will be the gladdest thing under the sun! I will touch a hundred flowers and not pick one.”   ― Edna St. Vincent Millay A "block up" in a painting is no different than an outline for a paper you are writing. It is learning the territory as you approach it and wanting to have a familiarity to it before you begin.  Familiarity  gets us through life in the tough times. We tend to draw from our experiences when faced with new challenges. It is a bridge into the new unknown in our lives. Just knowing you have survived something in the past, makes it easier to face it in the future. You know how to cope.  It is the same on a canvas for an artist... getting to know the space and the feel as it is different with every painting.  In our lives today... the Pandemic continues... and none of us have any pas

All about the Grandchildren with Texas Artist Laurie Pace

   © Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2020 Visit Ellepace.com to see available artwork.   “There are moments when troubles enter our lives and we can do nothing to avoid them. But they are there for a reason. Only when we have overcome them will we understand why they were there.” — PAULO COELHO, THE FIFTH MOUNTAIN Leaving the lake was not easy.  It was not about a better view or nature around us, but we wanted to be here and present for our grandchildren. With one next door, two only four blocks away and two more about 45 minutes away, we are here for a reason.  God is EVER present in our lives. We want to be present in their lives. We want to cheer them on and support them, to love them and watch them grow in God’s Spirit.

It is too long ago. I was in the middle before I knew that I had begun." Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice. Leaning into experimenting on this next painting. Starting with a glazing on the foundation first and then building layers on top of it. Terry says I killed this brush because (oops) I forgot to clean it. Brush shopping I shall go.  I have had this 'hankering' and image floating in my head of wolves... seems to be something I am drawn
