Leap of Faith

© 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...

Watering Hole Morning Sun

© 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: ...

Pink Boy

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 Pink Boy Acrylic on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   This horse, PINK BOY,  brings a huge smile to my face.    This was painted in 2013 after we moved from the lake to Dallas Ft Worth area.  I remember the day I worked on it and got up early to finish it the next morning.   Friday afternoon already. We ran to Whole Foods and picked up groceries and lunch to bring home. I would rather grab food (Although not whole foods plant based) there and bring it home.  I did eat a huge homemade salad before eating what I brought home. I ate mostly a pasta salad but it had olives which I do not keep in the house... a one time pleasure for sure. Also some rice but I had to have a few bites of Mac and Cheese...the stress reliever of all, and some Mashbos... not healthy made. I rarely go off diet but the stress has been back the last two days as decisions have been made over...

On the Lamb Contemporary Horse Painting by Elle Pace

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 On the Lamb Horse Painting Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   What fun it was to paint this beauty... a bright and brilliant horse painting.  The horses in this abstract painting are literally racing on the green spring grass... each trying to out run the other. It makes me smile and giggle to watch them and enjoy the beauty of palette knife painting at its best.  So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, 27 for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. Galatians 3:26-28 Palm Sunday, it was a beautiful service at Countryside Bible Church this morning.  Our grandson joined us there and spent the day with us.  Treasure him always.  He is going on 28 this summer.  I...

Snow or Sun? Memories of winter when you cannot race the sun.

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 Racing the Sun Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   First things first.  Day 5 Winner is S Wilson Congrats!!! Do you remember   racing home from a friends house, running as fast as you could? It gets more exciting when others are racing with you to see who gets to your front porch first! It is especially fun in the snow and I believe there is snow on the ground in this painting.  I painted this when my studio overlooked the waters of Lake Cypress Springs, and we had a three or four acre cat fish pond in our backyard. East Texas trees soared all around our home.  My studio had six windows and a glass door leading out to the deck and the trees. Often we could watch the dear scamper across the land dam between the lake and the pond while snow flakes floated through the air. Here was our home.  We had bird feeders everywhere, passion vines growing in the ...
