As I seem to be passing into another 'stage' age in life... changes that are noticeable more to me than others.  There is now the possibility of discovering who I am deep inside of me... not the person I try to be to please all the people in my...

Time is ticking away on the clock and the...

I start my day with Him; I walk with Him; I talk to Him constantly throughout the day; I rest in Him; I believe in Him.  From Him I have LIFE, LOVE, LIGHT and BEING. Terry... My husband.  I met him wh...

Sold ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Available Paintings by Laurie Pace  Follow me on Facebook           Sign up for my monthly studio newsletter. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This was one of my favorite nudes.  Just a quick share for the week.  Hope to be painting this week to post some new things.  Just finished up a larger wolf painting as well, so you will see that one soon.  This nude painting was created from simple pulls of paint both horizontal and vertical. Which came first, the drawing, or the paint? That is for you to figure out.    I feel almost paralyzed by world events...knowing I need to...

Sold ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Available Paintings by Laurie Pace  Follow me on Facebook           Sign up for my monthly studio newsletter. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a commissioned painting for a very modern home.  We really had quite a few sketches as it developed as I wanted to have the full figure across with the feet.  It will be framed in a dark frame and will hang in the master bath area of the home.  I paint nudes on request and have quite a few styles I work in. You can see them at Daily Painters.  They are mixed in with my other figurative work.  I love the thick paint and l...

  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013 Nude  24  x 30 inches Acrylic on Canvas. Available.  Well the color was fun as I approached it open hearted and no color palette in mind.  Bits of Liz Hill floated through my mind but Liz is not handy to say "NO" to me.. and I am afraid to try it and let go further without Liz's urging. This will sit for a week or more as I decide what to do for the next steps. Rushing into things was something my Dad frowned upon.  Planning and making lists were his main guide in life.  He kept his tool box full of ideas to push himself to be the best he could be and he taught that to all three of his children.  Thanks Dad. I will remember there are times to back away and let life happen. Things tend to work out better that way. I love you.  Laurie Pace A Texas Artist Golden Pond Studio My Blog        ...

Available As I began this one I used one of my sketches from long ago. always something new to create with it.   By doing something totally 180 degrees from what I do daily, I am able to stretch my mind and let go to try things differently. This will get an entire coating of acrylic paint but in the end I will probably hit it with the knife and oils.  I often talk about the many layers of a painting is no different than the layers in our lives.  Every layer is a new experience.  Laurie Pace A Texas Artist Golden Pond Studio My Blog          My Website          Giclees on Canvas, Prints and Cards          CFAI.co      GALLERY LINKS Mirada Fine Art Denver CO ,   The Rare...
