© 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.

Don't Miss Today's Blessings © Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2026 Racing the Sunset Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   The Perfect One My oldest granddaughter had a favorite saying whenever she found something she loved. "It's the perfect one!" A jelly bean... a cupcake... a pair of shoes... it didn't matter. To her, each moment held joy. As adults, we spend so much time worrying about tomorrow that we often miss today's blessings. After waking at 1:30 this morning and spending hours unable to sleep, I finally stopped trying to solve tomorrow's problems and began praying instead. God gently reminded me that He already knows the path ahead. That same lesson follows me into my studio. Every painting begins with uncertainty, but I've learned to trust the process, trust the gifts God has given me, and refuse to give up. My painting, Racing the Shoreline at Sunset, reminds me that horses don't worry about tomorrow....

Red Moon Rising and the Seasons of Grace © Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2026 Red Moon Rising Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Several years ago, while living at the lake, I stood in my studio and watched the Red Moon rise across the water. I thought I was simply gathering inspiration for a painting. Looking back now, I believe God was quietly preparing my heart for seasons I had not yet imagined. Life moves through seasons. Childhood.  Marriage.  Family.   Career.   Loss. Healing.   Death.   Renewal. Some chapters are filled with celebration.  Others seem impossible to understand while we're living them.  Yet Scripture reminds us that God is faithful through every one of them. "The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps." — Proverbs 16:9 This past week something changed in my studio.   For the first time in a long while, I felt th...

Peaceful afternoon with the lake right outside my windows to the north. © Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2026 OLD RED in Progress Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Memories from Golden Pond Studio I thought we would live there the rest of our lives. I loved the studio. I flourished in the studio at my highest point of my career and launching into galleries around the world.  But this painting, OLD RED was one of my favorite.  Reflection at the Lakefront studio: I want you to read about this journey. Tomorrow I will share the final painting but meanwhile, stop by my Studio blog and read the journey as I took it.    Elle   • self-interest vs selflessness  •  New Year Christian reflection   •  f aith and relationships  •  humility in relationships   •     God’s calling to serve Shop other Available Artwork.  Follow the Spirit o...

The Clearing After the Storm – A Painting Reflection © Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2026 Clearing After the Storm 36 x 48 inches Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   The Clearing After the Storm is a 36 x 48 oil painting inspired by that powerful moment when darkness lifts and light returns. Three horses move through the landscape—one stepping fully into the light, the others following as the storm passes. The painting carries strong contrast, with deep blues holding the weight of the storm while light breaks across the surface. It reflects a familiar feeling—moving from tension into calm, from uncertainty into clarity. As life shifts between busy seasons and quiet moments, I’m reminded that there is always a return to balance. There is always a clearing.

Purple Haze Horse © Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2026 Purple Haze Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   The wind, the work in the studio, the quiet pull to return to the canvas — and even the unexpected recognition that reminds you others are seeing it too. This week has been one of those moments.  As I’ve been working through a series of paintings created from gathered paint — pieces once set aside, now brought forward — I was honored to learn that my blog, Texas Contemporary Fine Artist Laurie Pace , has been recognized as one of the Top 50 Contemporary Art Blogs for 2026. It feels especially meaningful now, as I return to sharing not just the finished work, but the process, the thoughts, and the stories behind each piece. What began with wind — both outside and within — has moved through these paintings in very different ways. Each one carries its own voice, its own rhythm, its own energy… yet all are co...
