© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 Rights of Spring Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Monday Monday.... Just love this day! . .. Today I will be shipping off four days of the Days of Christmas 1-4. Today's winner for day 4 is S Dorsey from the state of Texas! Congratulations!  I think I have the perfect fun thing coming your way! The  painting above is a favorite. This is when painting was fun, things were selling and I could not paint fast enough. Not sure what has happened to the freedom and the joy in this world right now, but I am going to continue painting a bit longer! At least I have thoughts to direction.  THAT is a beginning!!  I am also ordering a new smaller easel for my studio then the big Santa Fe 2 I had in here. It became frustrating to move it around.  Hubby has my lights set up and I am thinking this will work! Meanwhile... I am painting it forward! Romans 8:28 ...

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 The Painted Ponies Gathering Three Sunrise Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Each of my painted ponies has a different approach or flair. This is fresh like spring for me and lots of sunlight.  I mentioned yesterday I wanted to share about something that happened Saturday.  We were on our way to our grandson's baseball game and the sky was a beautiful blue and just a handful of clouds. I glanced up and was mesmerized by the clouds and the back lighting and contrast in several of them that were gathered together. Light playfully filtered through. I felt instant joy.  Let me type that again, I felt instant JOY.   We know God gives us challenges. We know He walks before us... with us... and guards behind us . That and only that has sustained us through the last two years marked beginning Oct 5, 2022.  From Oct to the end of Dec was a journey I care ne...

This painting was a journey that started about five or six weeks ago. I have shared some on this blog, but not all!  It is finished. Starting a new painting today with too many ideas floating in my head!   I am known for my Painted Pony Pulls but only have done maybe four in the past five years. There are NO others like it that I know of. Thick rich buttery Holbein Oils and NO impasto to thicken them. The are deep and rich! Yesterday and now Today The church bulletin yesterday..."There are very few REAL emergencies."  and "If you are lucky, you are currently between emergencies." Well, it caught my attention. With our current administration allowing a spy balloon to sit over our nucl...

Best New Years gift to give yourself for your home or office!" JANUARY 1, 2023 The Dreaded List The one thing you can count on every minute of every day and night is CHANGE. When it comes to New Year’s Resolutions, they challenge you to change.  Proof in the pudding by the end of January, 93 percent of us set New Year’s goals but maybe 20% of us keep them past February, according to the American Psychological Association .   Many of us are not good “keepers of goals.” It is not hard to walk away when the...

Milne, When We Were Very Young The Painting I chose to reach out to the past and the Painted Ponies that began in 2006. This is a brand new very wet painting.  I am collected world wide for this style. Fresh colors on the palate with golden hue. With repetitive long strokes with my palette knife, the beauty of the yellow blended over golds and whites brings joy and smiles. The paint is layered thick - up to 1/2 inch in places.  Will take a few weeks to cure. Love the color of the paint!  Click the painting if you are...

Just jumping straight into this painting and the process.  I began with a different surface as I sketched out three horses and began pulling the paint.  It looked painful, so I put it out of its misery and began pulling colors together and flipping the canvas around.   Then I saw the two horses as clear as can be. Forward with more pulled paint and you have Sunrise Friend.  The beauty of these painted ponies is the style. I have been collected for these since about 2005, so over 15 years. I paint other styles of horses and lately really pretty ones on birch. But these paintings are freedom and love knitted together on the surface with intuitive painting and discovery.  Remember on my site ri...
