© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 Cactus Blooms Oil on Canvas Commissioned -   by Laurie Pace   Friday... where did the week go?  Wanted to share a fun painting with you. It was a commission for one of my collectors that already has several pieces.  Tiny Cactus Blooms.   This is almost like Christmas, isn't it?  I had much fun with this one. I need to get them to send me a hanging photo from their house. Looking back some of these look like green olives! 😜 The red and green are of course complimentary colors. the blue and orange are complimentary colors.  There is some purple woven in and some white.  I love working in color combinations!

So let them go, let go of them. I tie no weights to my ankles.” C. Joybell C. The Painting 🖌 The Good People is the very last one I will paint in this series. I believe I have maybe 8 or 9 variations out there in different sizes, all inspired once again by Jack Johnson and the song, "Where did all the good people go?"  Using the abstract pull of my palette knife in downward strokes, the contemporary painting celebrates color representing the people. This palette pull of color is something seen in my horse paintings dating back to fall 2006. Contemporary Paint...

He watches You-tube for news. ??  Anyone can say anything and put it up on you-tube. Actually any newscaster can create a factious story and put it on the 'regular' news.  I have been overfilled with politics already and we are not even in the last stretch of the election for Nov 2020.  The media has the world painted black as doomsday between the ongoing negative rhetoric of the sky is falling and our nation is failing. Only...

No matter whether he is rich, provided he be independent. Regard the Honour and moral Character of the Man more than all other Circumstances. Think of no other Greatness but that of the soul, no other Riches but those of the Heart. An honest, Sensible humane Man, above all the Littlenesses of Vanity, and Extravagances of Imagination, labouring to do good rather than be rich, to be usefull rather than make a show, living in a modest Simplicity clearly within his Means and free from Debts or Obligations, is really the most respectable Man in Society, makes himself and all about him the most happy.” — JOHN ADAMS, LETTERS OF JOHN ADAMS, ADDRESSED TO HIS WIFE Legacies are truly important in our lives. From a young age we begin our memories with those o...

Kindness in another's trouble, Courage in your own."  ―  Adam Lindsay Gordon This reminded me of how we tend to fill our pockets with problems all the time. If we could just learn to let the problem bubble just float by us... we would have more thoughts free of worry. This was the underlay to a horse painting but I wanted to paint something different.  I am doing that right now... in my studio, working on some little piggie...

     © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2014 Beginnings 30 x 40 inches Oil on Canvas. SOLD  I know it seems discouraging to see SOLD on the painting before I start, but I have to for Daily Painters. This is a specific piece for a specific friend... a brother in faith with me and he carefully chose the Bible verses for the foundation of the painting. I coated the canvas with a tan ivory acrylic to prepare the surface. The verses are in black acrylic.  As I begin the oils today this will slowly become the foundation that you will not see, but you will know it is there. He and his wife will know it is there.   I truly have no preconceived idea how this painting it going to work .Eric sent me photos of the area around Boulder, Colorado... from mountains, to sunrises, sunsets, images that capture the glory of God in each and every one of them. As I looked over everything sent to me, I reali...
