© Laurie Pace         Graphics One Design 2025 Summer Horse Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Summer Horse reminds me of August every year.  The days are growing shorter and hurricane season is upon us along with top temperatures in August.  This painting is done in Palette Knife with Holbein Duo Oil paints ...  my go to paint for 25 years now.  Enjoy this  beautiful white horse which seems to be running to the sunshine.    Sometimes I look at these paintings and think, what color came first?  Can you decide?  Lamentations 3:31-32   For no one is cast off by the Lord forever.  Though he brings grief, he will show compassion, so great is his unfailing love.   May your Sunday be blessed from the smallest to the largest of blessings you discover. The Lord is walking with you... and before you.   I just posted on FB " The Happiness of your life depe...

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 Greeting the Day Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Nothing like a good stretch every morning.   This was a commissioned horse painting, 18 x 27 inches in size. I had chills when I opened the file to add it to my blog this morning. Can you feel the power of my palette knife??  I am currently working with a brush on a large 36 x 36 canvas.   The next painting will bring me back to my knife! Romans 10:9-10 "If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.  For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.   I cannot believe it is Friday.  I have been focused this week and the past year on a situation that still has no ending at this time. There were others responsible for what occurred and it a...

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 Bathed in Sunlight Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Sunlight... as the sun rises we all great a new day... and that was the inspiration living on Lake Cypress Springs. The colors were alway vivid and full of life. This is a small painting but not small in energy.  Galatians 6:9  "And let us not be weary in well-doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not."   This is a crush week (I cannot be weary!) and the why I have not posted daily. We have packing for a family member going on, and figuring out storage etc.  I have washed more this week, and with the dryer deciding to pull a code, I am hanging wash on clothes lines out back. Truly smells wonderful bringing the clothes in!  Have a beautiful Wednesday. Elle  Shop other Available Artwork.  Sign up for my quarterly newsletter and painting sales.

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 Leap of Faith Oil on Canvas  SOLD (Mirada Fine Art)   by Laurie Pace   Stunning colors in Leap of Faith Horse Painting!   Fast blog this morning... a painting and a verse from my heart. The day is already at 10 am. Many things to do this day and I have to focus on the needs right now.  I am painting.  Working on a commission... I decided not to really post it in progress as the buyer really keeps things personal.  Maybe as I finish it, but I do not know yet.  It is 36 x 36 inches of oils... and the next one will be 36 x 48 with knife and oils!   Isaiah 30:15  "This is what the Sovereign LORD, the Holy One of Israel, says: “In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength, but you would have none of it."    If I were going to comment... it would be to rest in the quietness and trust. Stop your brain fr...

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 The Rising Star Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   The swipe of the palette knife and the movement of color in every painting I create, bring depth and desire and life onto the canvas.  The Rising Star exemplifies the depth of beauty be it large or small in size.   Psalm 147: 4 "He counts the stars and calls them by name."    I am in the midst of working on the 30 x 30 commission, so my blog has to be short. This one is by brush and not knife and the time is multiplied considerably to work the different areas.  "There is much on my heart this day as I work. I will be praying over friends, family and offering up a prayer for you as well. The heat in Texas is in full force and hubby is fighting loosing our trees and yard because of the water conservation. Make it a beautiful Thursday. Elle Shop other Available Artwork.  Sign up for ...

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 Watering Hole Morning Sun 32 x 48 inches  Oil on Canvas  Commission - SOLD   by Laurie Pace   This gorgeous horse painting brought forth the colors of autumn in the wooded areas of Montana, Idaho and Washington state. It was a commissioned painting and I worked with the paint colors in the room and the buffet it would be hung over. A painting like this transforms repeatedly through the process. The photo below was 75 percent through the painting, but it was still NOT right. Each horse went through changes... and the woods behind had double changes...and the water was the last horizon to cross.  It is this last push that takes a painting over the edge of disaster mess to "THIS IS IT!" .  No different that in life when you hit the wall, rest and lean into God. Perseverance pays off and you grow closer to the Lord. On the Easel... NOT WORKING.    James 1: ...

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 Bubbles to Horses  Sold by The La Jolla Gallery Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Horses Dancing over the Bubbles!   The La Jolla Gallery closed a few years ago and I miss it.  I sold 15-25K in paintings almost every month at Elizabeth's gallery. Sometimes that was just two paintings!  It is rare to find a Gallery that is in a good place and your work is appreciated and purchased. Right now I am only at Mirada Fine Art in Denver and I can still show art at The Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas, I just have not painted much in the last two years. Hoping to find my way back... as I begin painting again.   Hebrews 4:9-10 "There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works, just as God did from his.”  I have not painted much in three years... it was my long extended 'Sabbath' for rest needed...
