© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 Sun Stretch Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Romans 8:28  “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” "So much to do and so little time.” I think it. I say it. I live it. As a wife, a mother, a grandmother, an artist, a musician, a writer, a website builder, a bookkeeper, a cook, a maid, a counselor, a teacher, a planner—and whatever else the day requires—that phrase runs constantly through my mind and out of my mouth. But what is missing? God. This morning, as I woke from a good night’s sleep, I allowed only a brief thought to yesterday. It was not a productive day by any stretch of the imagination. Nothing went as planned. The day turned sideways and upside down. Family came to visit, schedules unraveled, and we didn’t sit down to lunch until 6:30 in the evening. It was one of tho...

Tomorrow the cooler weather will arrive . We will at least be in the fifties during the day and in the low forties at night.

It will not be our enti...

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 Close up from  "Between the Lines" Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   The close-up above is a small section of a much larger work—a   3 x 4 ft painting built with layers of thick Holbein oils . Created in the tradition of my   Painted Pony Pulls , this was the last large piece I painted for Mirada Fine Art’s special exhibition in   February 2023 . Below, you’ll find the full painting. You can also view it on the gallery’s website at   miradafineart.com The pulls in this piece are especially   bold, thick, and intensely layered . The palette knife has always been where my heart lies as an artist. There’s something mesmerizing about working with rich, buttery Holbein oils—mixing, carving, and layering them into   ¼- to ½-inch deep pulls   down the canvas. The result is both tactile and visually lush. These works drip with color, and I s...

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 River Bank  Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Good morning. .. Exciting news coming I think!!! But I have to wait to share it.  More art, more paintings and lots of knife work and color!   Romans 12:2 - "Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will." Sunday evening and I spent this afternoon pulling out 7 or 8 canvas that I will begin painting on tomorrow.  I will share as I can. I am going to pull my easel outside to the patio and paint out there. Will not be warm enough till 10 or so in the morning but we have a bit of summer hitting for the next 5-6 days and I want to be outside. The leaves will be turning soon and we will have piles of beautiful mess in the backyard and a lot of acorns fro...

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 Blue Range Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   OCT MORNING... cool as we woke up this morning at six.  I found this painting in my archives and love the richness of the depth of colors playing their parts in the composition. I am spending more time at my job for Women Artists of The West than I am for painting and selling special ones like this on my website.  Proverbs 4:5  Get wisdom; get insight;  do not forget, and do not turn away from the words of my mouth.   Loved our LifeGroup this week. We are covering Chapters in Genesis.  We are in the midst of Jacob and Issac. I am using my Torah and Chumash with notes in it comparing things to our Christian versions! Have you ever read Liz Curtis Higg's books ?  go to the Book... She has great fictional Biblical books... as well as great non fiction books.  I am finishing up the two books about the story o...

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 IN THE WILD Oil on Panel SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Good morning. .. this is a must for you to click on the painting and read about the Wild Horses in Texas.  Santuario de Caballos Salvajes  My past week has been upside down and hopefully between today and tomorrow we can put our house back together!    Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?” John 11:25-26 That is why not many blogs the past week. NO painting, no working in the studio..but moving things, rearranging things, packing things, throwing away things....    We removed an old 'appliance' fireplace that was almost 20 years old. It stopped working last winter. We had talked of putting in a 'real' fireplace  and that is happening. It unfortunately is not a solid...

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 Sunset Crossing 28 x 42 inches Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   I actually visited the collector that has this painting and totally fell in love with it onsite with a beautiful frame. This was created several years ago and the frame was custom made to pick up the golds in the painting. Enjoy the eye candy! Ready to do commissions! Reach out on my website, Commissions “Overhearing what they said, Jesus told him, ‘Don’t be afraid; just believe.'”  Mark 5:36 Feels like Tuesday... but I know it is Monday afternoon. Second night last night of a short amount of sleep. I am looking forward to an early shower and climbing into bed!! The weather is what we call an Indian Summer, meaning the temps are in the nineties and the nights are in the low seventies. Couple more weeks and we will have the hint of fall with temps in the sixties at night! I am excited and ready.  Mak...
