© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 Here Comes the Sun Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Just in from outside and realized I need to blog this morning.  Here Comes the Sun is an explosive color horse painting with layers piling on layers. I have painted this weekend on the portrait I was working on but may have to play with color shortly!   My grandson follows Emily Frisella on Instagram and he shared it with me this morning.  I truly enjoyed her posted list for her birthday this year. The most prominent thing is I am not doing weight resistance and I need to start doing that slowly. I walk 3 miles most mornings in 45 min or less. As you know we eat a whole foods plant based diet and there are MANY athletes out there eating this way. 15 years into it now. It is time my friends. How about you? 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 "Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within ...

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 Morning Mist Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Morning Mist, a horse painting in movement of colors abiding and accenting the mist across the canvas.  I am currently painting... working on a small piece 8 x 10 inches of a little girl about 6 or 7 years old. She has sky blue eyes...  These smaller paintings take much more time than others.  An artist works to capture a reflection of the person/child and the essense of their sweet nature. Psalm 16:8 "I keep my eyes always on the LORD. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken." Have a blessed weekend dear friends!

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 Native Herd Sunrise Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Can you count them?  Pretty sure there are seven horses on this horizon. I usually work in odd numbers.  This painting sold from one of my galleries up in Park City, Utah.  I think it was painted in 2015 maybe?   When they leave for Galleries, I am not always good about marking the calendar!  What would you want on the horizon for a pack of horses? 1 Corinthians 16:13 "Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong." Be strong and of great courage as Paul wrote  in his letter to church followers. It is the weekend ahead... and I would also say be on guard yet always stand firm in the Lord and your faith. He will provide exactly what you need.  A good friend told me you have to be strong and get outside of your comfort zone. As an artist, this is true. I have t...

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 Summer Horse 14  2012 Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Caramel color is one of my favorites.  Summer Horse 14 should be named for that color.   Beginning to think this might be the time to paint some small pieces at yesterday prices just to get back to my palette knife. I want to stop painting oils, but acrylics just do not carry that buttery essence very long before they gum up.  1 Chronicles 16:11-12 "Seek the Lord,  Remember the wonders he has done, his miracles, and the judgments he pronounced."   Not much extra time today with a busy schedule and I have been doing the Bloom class with Nicholas Wilton . on FB it is Art2Life . I am still seeking my path back to the easel. Joy is returning in small moments and laughter comes easier.  I have done two wild things in my first two sessions totally not me but they were FUN!  Have ...

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 Colors of Sky Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Colors of Sky, small 5 x 7 knife painting of a horse by Laurie Pace.   This was done during a push to do 100 horses in 100 days.  I sold them all one by one each day.  Psalm 103:17: But from everlasting to everlasting the LORD’s love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children’s children— I always stop and think whenever I see the words "FEAR THE LORD" ... why?  I worship and respect and fall down on my knees for Him. I sin daily and know that HE knows I sin daily. In that way I know I am responsible for what I do and say.  For an unbeliever who does not know God,  there could easily be the fear of the judgement of God and eternal death... a permanent separation from God.  For a believer, that fear is a reverence of our Lord God.  Hebrews 12: 28-29  w...

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 Three out of the Mist Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Three out of the Mist is  an engaging horse painting in colors I rarely paint with.  I was unsure of putting it on my website for sale, but I did and I had it on Facebook and Instagram.  It sold in 24 hours and later the owner sent me a photo of it hanging. It was right at home. I could tie into the Verses below with the lead horse is the strong one leading the others!!! Romans 14:13 "T herefore let us not pass judgment on one another any longer, but rather decide never to put a stumbling block or hindrance in the way of a brother."   Romans 15:1  "Now we who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of those without strength and not just please ourselves."  These two verses knit together. They are about being strong in faith, or weak in faith and growing, and those that are strong should never pass judgem...

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 Celebrating Night to Day Acrylic on Birch  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Celebrating Night to Day  a horse painting I LOVE but have never done this process again. I need to do one. This brought me joy to paint it!!!!  James 5:15  "and the prayer offered in faith will restore the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up, and if he has committed sins, they will be forgiven him. We must pray for others to be always be strong in faith and we all should pray when some one is worried, sick or stressed, or they have family members laid low with health. God answers all prayers if we are sincere and intent with the prayer that is needed.  His answer may not be always what we think it should be, but in truth it is the right answer and He has full control.   Our Life Group from church is amazing.  We have an on going text for all of us to praise and do p...
