Moonlight Horse and trying to do the right things at what may be the wrong time.

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 Moonlight Horse   8 x 8 Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   2 Corinthians 11:25 "Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was pelted with stones, three times I was shipwrecked, I spent a night and a day in the open sea...."  Have you ever felt no matter what you do, you were doing it wrong, or if you were trying to complete something things would pop up left and right to detain you?  Right now I feel this happening in my own life. One step forward and two or three steps backwards. This happened to Paul when he was preaching and could not travel or do the things he was called to do. Paul was an apostle spreading the gospel to foreign countries.  There is no direct evidence that Paul officially met Jesus before his death, but Paul did encounter Jesus on the Road to Damascus after his resurrection. Paul was called to proclaim His name to both Gentiles...

Periwinkle Horse Play Keeps Stress Away

   © Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2023 30 x 30 inches   by Laurie Pace   “  For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms."  Judges 5:31 I still look back with love at these paintings from 14 years ago. When I would paint my horses they varied in how I approached the canvas. Sometimes with under layers and sometimes with a palette knife and lots of paint.  This is the later... knife and paint. Most of these were from a time that I spent working daily painting large paintings and selling them as quickly as I painted them. My mind was in a good place, my natural instincts were sharpened to  know what was needed as I created each piece. It was all intuitive. This horse painting happens to have my heart color on the base of the horse... a periw...

At the Ocean Painting by Laurie Pace, The Essential Water and the Essential Faith

   © Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2023 At The Ocean SOLD Oils on Canvas painted in 2011 Golden Pond Studio  by Laurie Pace   Shop other Available Artwork.  Sign up for my quarterly newsletter and painting sales. I love any type of water...  rain, rivers, ponds, lakes, the ocean... even sitting by a waterfall.  When we lived at the lake, my studio was about twenty feet across the back of the house overlooking both a 5 acre catfish pond and the main lake was to my left where I watched the sunset every evening. It was heavenly!! The negative part was constant water moccasins and copperheads. You had to be on watch where ever you stepped!  We all know the Bible is rich with powerful symbolism. Especially those snakes.  The one symbol that is important to me personally, is water. It represents faith, salvation, and provision, reminding me of its importance in both our physi...
