" “The purest and most thoughtful minds are those which love color the most.”  ― John Ruskin, The Stones of Venice It is pretty obvious by my work that I love color. I have an addiction to color. That addiction means when I walk into a store with clothes... I only see color... not the actual dress, or shirt, or coat. It really is detrimental to my budget. I am successfully working on this shopping addiction to color. When the closet has six black sweaters, four green ones, four white ones, two grey ones, one red one, one orange one, one rose colored one and two navy blue ones... uh oh....and you see it happening with tops and sweats too.   QUESTION: What do you think happens when I walk into an art store and the stimulation is OFF THE CHARTS....? You and

It is important to live our faith every day so it  becomes a part of our working mind and our lives.  I posted this on Facebook This morning to close friends which included my family.

   © Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2023 Five Red Blooms 24 x 24  Oils on Canvas SOLD    by Laurie Pace   Can you see the mushing of colors in the background?  The blends you can never  create with out a mess. Notice the vase and the background fade from the lighter pink mashing of colors to the neutrals one the left side and the shadows of turquoise and deep pink. The flowers are brilliant as they pop out at you and the greens are lush and hold their own alone. Did you gravitate at all to the dark black planted spaces?   Makes me want to go paint right now!!!

POST 4001 Rain Drops Been busy tinkering at a family home with updating, and this painting was completed for a special place in the house a few years back. The photos are shiny but I wanted to get it up to share with you.  Painted around 2010, it is oil on canvas and framed by the Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas.  I decided to bring it home, since I was replacing it with others , and offer it on my website at a special price. What I love about this flower painting are the values and the colors. The reds lean to a rich deep rose color and the greens edge into the moss greens you find in the woods. The raindrops bring it all together almost like a woodland snapshot. If it calls to your heart... click through and check it out! What is happening?  Prayers Answere

"Suddenly about ten yesterday morning, the storms had blown through and I picked up an empty canvas and started painting this soft precious group of iris. It would be rich in a frame that brought out the delicate beauty.  There was no pre thought which was not good... I worked on it about 7 hours. Enjoy the day today...  "   Delicate Beauty The definition of Delicate Beauty is " 1. exquisite, fine, or subtle in quality, character, construction, etc. 2 having a soft or fragile beauty. 3 (of colour, tone, taste, etc.) pleasantly subtle, soft, or faint. When I think of delicate beauty, my mind envisions our family and our Father God.  He created each of us uniquely to be who we are with certain gifts he bestowed to each of us, as well

The color combination wowed me in a satisfied hunger way. Something about the dark green field in the back and the colors began to build. It was from a photo I took of our flowers several years ago, but definitely not matching in colors. If you like Thick Buttery Layers... you will LOVE First Bloom"    Trust the Process Many times in life things seem to get 'turned around' and more negative thoughts surface over positive thoughts. We all have our own path to travel and God gifts us the ability to make decisions on the journey.  Not sure about you, but some of my first adult decisions were not the finest, in fact they were pretty off center for me.  I was young
