© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 Spring Meeting Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   The beautiful horses in this painting are out in the spring sun in Texas, although, it is really still February! It is near 80 degrees outside and last week we were down at 2 degrees. The whimsical bright colors and the brilliant sky make each horse stand strong in position at the stream they stopped to drink. True heavy palette knife with very thick strokes of paint.   My painted ponies are alive with color and wide knife strokes!  Hebrews 11:1 "Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see." Building confidence in God as I let go of worries and decisions that are truly not mine to deal with.  Do you find that in life, that you are always trying to be helpful with ideas for others and for yourself?  God knows what is best!

Good morning. ..  We have just a few hours before COLD arrives again here in North Texas. By Wed temps will be below freezing at night and close to zero or below for a 'feels like'.  We have loaded the bird feeders and will keep an eye on them. We had close to fifty birds earlier snacking away at our full feeders. Cardinals, Robins, and a red breasted small bird I need to look up... also doves and few tiny black baby birds.  The painting today is one from 2014 I believe... With the well known marked of color and light making this more of an evening herd than a morning herd. These are my known Painted ponies... aka the pulled paint that makes them special, my abstract horse paintings!  We are special to God. He has a pur...

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...
