© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 Red Moon Winter Solstice Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Day 9 Giveaway winner is MK Shipp It is cold here in Texas at night and in the early morning . We thought we were going to have a warm week, but no idea past today any more. This painting was done I think back in 2010 at my studio on the lake. We had a red winter solstice Moon... and it was beautiful... so I painted some horses I had taken photos of at our friends ranch.  2 Corinthians 12:9 " But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me ." Becoming a grandparent is wonderful. We have a 27 year old grandson we helped raise until he was six. He was our first grandchild.  He calls me "Mum" and his grandfather "Bampa".  It was life changing and especially when they live ...

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 Celebrating Night to Day Mixed Media on Birch  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Can you believe it is already 9-10 days into December?  Can you believe Christmas is 15 days or roughly two weeks from now and New Years is 21 days away? This is the second week in Advent and it is the week of Peace. Hope was the first week in advent.  I read the absolutely best explanation about the second week of advent from Bible Study Tools   and it truly has given me a path for this week. Actually for LIFE.  “‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ says the Lord of hosts.” (Zechariah 4:6) We all ask for peace in our lives. We wish things would settle down and some quiet could come with it. The outside world seems to be running amuck and grocery prices rise and gas cost is going up... I don't know. How does peace fit in to our lives these days? I picked up from that link above... that while Sh...

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 West by Northwest Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Good morning. ..Woke with the Blues this morning, and that is not our Kerry Blues! The painting above is a favorite in my 'heart' colors of my painted ponies.  This was a large piece and was sold at Mirada Fine Art. This is the time for Holiday Commissions. Reach out to me on my website here .  Those hard days still pop up now and then . It was one this morning. I slept last night but the last three hours I was restless. I had no energy as I woke, and usually I pop right out of bed and start my day. I read a post on FB from a dear friend who lost her husband two years ago, and her words touched my heart as pain fell in tears down my face.  We are all faced with change and loss in life. In turn we are all gifted with joy and love as well. God does not ever leave us. He walks the valleys with us and He climb...

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 Loosing Direction Oil on Canvas 30 x 40 Sold from Mirada Fine Art with artist Laurie Pace   Good morning.    Finally here in Texas we GOT RAIN. Can you believe light stuff last weekend, but Mon, Tues and Wed... it rained. Our trees are going to be beautiful this fall. Usually the summer heat has them turning brown in Sept and Oct and falling without color. Cannot wait to see the beauty in another month or six weeks. Our Red Oaks always go a beautiful red!!! I have been working in the studio on a Commission painting of a longhorn. Actually have energy to paint today and felt pulled to working the surface and considering what I was doing at the same time!  Multitasking the colors and the paint on the surface. This Painting  Loosing Direction was painted a few years back but I am wanting to revisit some horses in the same approach.   Time to buy paint and canvas for...

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 Found Love Commissioned painting 2013 by Laurie Pace   IT IS THURSDAY!    We have official reached Heat Advisories here in north Texas. I heard the Severe Heat area is both  north and north east from us. Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee ... and more. I think I will be thankful for ours and thinking we might break 100-105 through this weekend and into next week. Wondering if the power is still off in Nebraska from their week of storms.  These two horses were a commission painting and it was a larger one as well. I am remembering MAYBE it went to Missouri? I know it left the state. It was 24 x 30 and of course Holbein Oils... buttery and lush! Would love to paint for you! He guided them by the skillfulness of his hands." Ps 79:72 In our lives it is impossible for us to predict the storms we may face before they arrive out of no where. Leaning into the Lord and giving thanks ...
