© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 Available: Watching for You Buy the Painting   Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Watching for You, the newest horse painting is my  favorite!   There was a painting I was working a week ago that just did not work... I scraped all the thick paint off and from the scrapings came these beautiful earthy colors.  I have created two small new pieces newly listed on my website.  There are some awesome close up gallery photos of the paint showing the layering.  This is the essence of these paintings, to pile them in layers.  There is a week delay in shipping as there are still a few areas wet and these oils form an outside layer of skin that dries before the piled paint below it. BUT I did just sign them both and that is wet.  Shop all Paintings Psalm 5:11 "But let all those who take refuge in your rejoice. Let them always shout for joy, bec...

I still love it but it was painted back in about 2012 I believe.    Horse paintings always trigger excitement and color on my canvas! Psalm 27:14 "Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!"  I have been struggling with this very thing... waiting for the Lord and not interfering in His plans.

Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?”   Storms hit early this morning around 4:45.
