© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2026 Crossing  Painting in Process Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Life can become so busy that we spend more time thinking about everything we need to do than actually doing any of it. This morning I gave myself three minutes. Three minutes later, the piles surrounding me were gone and my desk was clear. Sometimes finding a little peace—and even a little joy—begins that simply. Looking at an unfinished stage of my painting Crossing the County Line reminded me of another lesson. There are moments in the studio when pushing harder doesn't help. You have to stop, step away, breathe and allow yourself to find the quiet again. Tomorrow I'll share what happened when I returned to this painting. Sometimes joy isn't far away at all. Sometimes it is just across the line.   Elle PLEASE Read the complete Story HERE Search Words:  Laurie Pace, Elle Pace, Crossing the...

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2026 Falling into Winter Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Falling into Winter… My Summer Dream This morning brought a tiny Texas rain, old paintings rediscovered while cleaning out years of files, and thoughts about what it means to let go of some of the weight we've carried. Perhaps that's why my mind wandered north...to Newfoundland, to a place Terry has wanted to visit for years and a piece of his family's history waiting there. Maybe this season isn't about going backward at all. Maybe it's about keeping the treasures, releasing the weight, picking up the camera, and asking: Where haven't we been yet? Time is moving forward. Why wait?   Elle  Read the complete story at EllePace.com.

Under Texas Stars   © Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2026 Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Some of our sweetest memories begin with music. Long before I became a professional artist, a little transistor radio filled my upstairs bedroom while I painted on a drafting board that served as my first easel. Looking back, I realize music, friendships, faith, and art were already weaving together the threads of a life I could never have imagined.

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 On the Lamb Horse Painting Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   What fun it was to paint this beauty... a bright and brilliant horse painting.  The horses in this abstract painting are literally racing on the green spring grass... each trying to out run the other. It makes me smile and giggle to watch them and enjoy the beauty of palette knife painting at its best.  So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, 27 for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. Galatians 3:26-28 Palm Sunday, it was a beautiful service at Countryside Bible Church this morning.  Our grandson joined us there and spent the day with us.  Treasure him always.  He is going on 28 this summer.  I...

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2023 Together   Available     This painting is filled, not just with color, but with texture, and layers of thick paint. I chose to start with one horse when I began, but I knew immediately there would be a second horse. When horses form a relationship, it is usually for life. A horse is intuitive with relationships with the humans in their lives, and I can only imagine how deep their feelings run for a companion horse. Enjoy the layers of color and overlays woven through the entire painting, while the slight abstraction keeps the edge of realism present.  Shop other Available Artwork.  Sign up for my quarterly newsletter and painting sales.
