© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 First Race Commissioned Painting  5 ft x 5 ft  Oil on Canvas SOLD   by Laurie Pace   First Race...  This contemporary abstract horse painting was such fun exciting paint for my client. A large piece at five feet square and lost of color and paint to engage your eyes!   Matthew 6:11 "Give us this day our daily bread." Woke this morning and started cleaning our house as Hubby made breakfast.  We sat down to share our grace and oatmeal. A few moments early Hubby heard a blast and had walked outside in the front yard but did not see anything. Many nearby neighbors heard the blast as well.  When we began eating we heard sirens and determined probably a wreck in 7:30 traffic. Then there were Fire Truck sirens... and then that throaty honk of a firetruck in front of our house. There were SEVEN firetrucks. The house is not a total loss but they are still d...

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 Spring Evening Dahlia Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Glancing back with this Spring Dahlia painting created in 2011. Right now I have a new gathering of colorful Dahlias and Begonias to plant in pots outside my studio window this weekend. Still cold today, but spring is upon us in a few more days with decent 65-80 degrees each day.   Philippians 4:13 "I can do all things through Him that strengthens me. "   For some reason this morning I woke with the feeling of freedom.  Feels really odd but wonderful!!!  With this is the relaxation of my mind and taking time to 'feel' and 'take in' the good things and God has provided many. It is often too easy to feel pressured or worried and keeping that uneasiness going for weeks at a time. I truly cannot remember the last time I felt this free. This is empowered by my faith. Obviously I have been living the last two years in a...

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 Three on the Bridge Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   A short blog this morning.... Three on the Bridge was done in April of 2012... when we lived on the lake. This style of painting was quick to vanish out of Mirada Fine Art.  It is time to get busy and paint some horses I do believe! John 16:33 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”  Much growth in thought over the past 24 months and especially the last month.  How do I know?  The tension has left the house, I am sleeping at night. I am not worried any more... all because I gave it to the Father, and made the decision to not interfere with His plans.  Relying on the Lord and keeping His word and principals are the most important focus of my life.  Shop other Available Artwork.  Sig...

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 Bathed in Hot Sunlight Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Bathed in Hot Sunlight was painted in 2015 and the first painting of 100 days of Horses for $100.  You known my work and understand my addiction for color and the truth to composition along the creative journey! My horse paintings capture the love and light and color surrounding them through representational abstract.    John 5:24 Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life." Yesterday we were covered in deep red Texas dirt from West Texas with 70 mph winds. It was pretty hectic as we traveled from Mansfield north to our home from Kindergarten lunch with our youngest grandchild for Grandparents day! The push of the wind and dirt started about 2 pm yesterday and was still strong as we turned int...

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 Racing Time Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Racing Time was painted back in 2013 during a 100 days of painting for $100.  We were moving back the the Dallas area and I cleared out canvas and paint during the move.  This horse takes the eye diagonally from the top right to the bottom left, mesmerizing the viewer with colors and thick paint!  Isaiah 53:5 "But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed."  It has been a weekend into the mid week that my husband and I have been on our knees in prayer.  It was a battle today again for a loved one and I am weary from the battle. Only our Father can take it on, no longer are we doing it.  Addiction is a battle hard to conquer.  I never grew up in a family that faced these issues. It ...

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 Watering Hole Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   The Watering Hole painting is a gathering of four horses around a pond. I keep looking for the fifth horse because I usually paint in odd numbers but this is definitely four unless you see one lurking in the background.  Do you? I would also like to know if you like this style of horse painting?  It is very  contemporary.   I was thinking of doing one similar this next week. Should I?  Deuteronomy 7:9 "Know therefore that the Lord your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commandments." I have been in prayer often throughout the days of late studying the Bible and deep into scripture and gaining more wisdom despite my old age!  There is always more to learn and discover about living your journey here on ...
