"It is not about what was yesterday... or about tomorrow. It is truly about today." © Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2026 Red Poppies in Blue Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Looking at a painting from 2011 reminded me that every season of life has its own rhythm. As artists, we continue to grow, to see differently, and to discover new colors we might have missed years before. Today, I'm grateful for a quiet house, a peaceful heart, and the promise of new paintings waiting on the easel.   Read the full story at EllePace.com.   Elle Pace Laurie Pace, Elle Pace, Threads of Grace, poppy painting, floral oil painting, palette knife painting, original oil painting, expressive flowers, faith and art, peaceful living, artist reflections, studio life, Texas artist, contemporary impressionism, music and painting, creative journey Shop other Available Artwork.  Follow the Spirit of the Paint... with...

Flower in the Air, Flowers Everywhere © Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2026 Flowers in the Air Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   While allowing a recent horse painting to rest, I revisited one of my favorite abstract floral works, Flowers in the Air, Flowers Everywhere. Created entirely with a palette knife, this piece explores movement, color, and layered texture in a bold and expressive way. The eye is drawn first to the red flowers, then carried through the painting by sweeping strokes of blue, green, and black. Rather than relying on structured lines, the composition is built through motion and repetition, keeping the viewer engaged within the surface of the painting. With thick, sculptural layers of paint and strong directional pulls, this piece reflects the energy and rhythm that color alone can create. It’s a painting that invites you to pause, explore, and feel—whether that brings a sense of calm or a ...

© Laurie Pace         Graphics One Design 2025 Yellow Rose Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Yellow Rose -  The Texas state flower is the bluebonnet but the Yellow Rose of Texas is the song!!!  Where did that come from?  It became popular during the U.S. Civil War, especially among cavalry men from the south and from Texas. On YouTube  "There's a yellow rose in Texas, I'm going there to see, No other Feller knows her, Nobody known to me. She cried so when I left her, It's like to broke my heart, And if we ever meet again, We'd never walk apart. |Chorus:She's the sweetest little rosebud, That Texas ever knew, Her eyes are bright as diamonds, They sparkle like the dew; You may talk about your Clementine, And sing of Rosalee, But the Yellow Rose of Texas, Is the only gal for me.:| When the Rio Grande is flowing, The stars are shining bright, She walked along the river, On a quiet summer night: She said if you'll reme...

© Laurie Pace         Graphics One Design 2025 Flower Gathering Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Flowers to you!  I painted this in a workshop at the Dutch Art Gallery with Nancy Medina. She was an artist of Texas back then...now Colorado... and I took my mom to paint at this workshop too.  It truly was fun. I did sell it to a collector knowing it was painted at a workshop. I chose my own flowers and filled my own vase and followed Nancy's directions.  Isaiah 35:4 " Say to those with fearful hearts, ‘Be strong, do not fear; your God will come.'”  Had lunch today with our Lifestyle Group.  We are ramping up for fall and things to start.  Good food and great friends and as always... God is good and was there with all of us. Enjoy your Wednesday tomorrow. I have spent the rest of this day, morning until 11, and returning home at 2:30, up to now painting in my studio. I am 75% down with the...
