© 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...

© Laurie Pace         Graphics One Design 2025 Golden Clouds Gathering Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   I was flying through the search engines on Duck Duck Go   and I came across many paintings dating back to 2005 era that I do not have because of my PC crashing.  This was one of them.  I will be sharing them both here and on my website blog.  Perhaps digging more each day. I did a series of maybe 5-7 paintings of gatherings of horses with lots of color.  This one gave me goose bumps to see the color combos!  Enjoy the 'eye candy' of older paintings! “Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.” – Psalm 139:23-24 This is short today. I have a class starting in a few moments and wanted to get this published before it starts. I am still in my exercise clothes, so this is brief today! What is the bigg...

CHECK.  Painting sold?  Check. “For God has not given us a spirit of fear but of power, love, and self-discipline.”  2 Timothy 1:7  I love painting with a palette knife. It is powerful to pile the paint high as you knife it on the canvas. Been working today on the flatter 4 x 5 ft painting. Hopefully tomorrow I can share some photos!
