Summer Painting 17 and Bloom Day 3 with Nicolas Wilton

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 Summer Horse Painting 17 2012  Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   LOVING the Palette knife movement in Summer Horse Painting 17.    Truly this is totally inspiring me to start painting some tiny pieces again.    Isaiah 46: 9: "Remember the former things, those of long ago; I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me." There is no other than our Almighty God. I could not get through a day or a night without Him. It has been a busy week... and lots of rain. We have a hot humid sunny day ahead.   I told Hubby he could not work in the yard.  Here in Texas you have to work early mornings before that sun really gets up mid morning sky.   I am continuing in my BLOOM class with Nicolas Wilton and thousands of others... and oh my ... I PAINTED a pink painting yesterday. That is probably a first.  Pink......

Summer Horse 14

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 Summer Horse 14  2012 Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Caramel color is one of my favorites.  Summer Horse 14 should be named for that color.   Beginning to think this might be the time to paint some small pieces at yesterday prices just to get back to my palette knife. I want to stop painting oils, but acrylics just do not carry that buttery essence very long before they gum up.  1 Chronicles 16:11-12 "Seek the Lord,  Remember the wonders he has done, his miracles, and the judgments he pronounced."   Not much extra time today with a busy schedule and I have been doing the Bloom class with Nicholas Wilton . on FB it is Art2Life . I am still seeking my path back to the easel. Joy is returning in small moments and laughter comes easier.  I have done two wild things in my first two sessions totally not me but they were FUN!  Have ...

Summer Horse 13

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 Summer Horse 13 (2012) Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Summer Horse 13 completed in 2012. I sold all 100 horses that year. Might be time to do it again? I miss playing in color.  I am taking an inspiration course right now on color and approach to release emotions that are still affecting me from all the losses of the last three years. It is through Bloom Week I will post some of these fun ones from that summer.  John 14:6 "Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

Better Together

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 Better Together Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Better Together a beautiful Horse Painting that was a commission.  Mama Horse and four young horses different sizes of course. The older ones are further in the back and two closer are the babies! Mama is the front horse on the left. 1 John 3:16 "This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters." 1 John 3:11–18  speaks of opposites in emotions. The contrast between hate and love.  If you are a Christian believer, love is deeply rooted in your being.  Being the opposite of love, evil is simply a jealous hatred for goodness of love itself.  If you are faith filled, love is expected along with selfless sacrifice such as laying down your life for others.  Christians are expected to do more than feel love, they are to act and ...

Colors of the Sky

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 Colors of Sky Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Colors of Sky, small 5 x 7 knife painting of a horse by Laurie Pace.   This was done during a push to do 100 horses in 100 days.  I sold them all one by one each day.  Psalm 103:17: But from everlasting to everlasting the LORD’s love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children’s children— I always stop and think whenever I see the words "FEAR THE LORD" ... why?  I worship and respect and fall down on my knees for Him. I sin daily and know that HE knows I sin daily. In that way I know I am responsible for what I do and say.  For an unbeliever who does not know God,  there could easily be the fear of the judgement of God and eternal death... a permanent separation from God.  For a believer, that fear is a reverence of our Lord God.  Hebrews 12: 28-29  w...

James 1:26 " Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues deceive themselves, and their religion is worthless."   This verse is a great reminder of watching what we say and do, including those that claim to be a faith filled person.  It is easy to judge other people, but it is simply not our job to be a judge of others. Watch your words this week.  Be kind and encouraging to everyone you encounter. Elle Shop other Available Artwork.  Sign up for my quarterly newsletter and painting sales.

In Flight

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 In Flight   (We Bow Down) available Oil on Canvas  by Laurie Pace   In Flight with  n atural paint blended for earth tones in this newest small painting out of my studio. Enjoy the next photo with the piling on of paint and color creating the movement of a horse in the storm of life.  A second view and you can still see the paint layers.    Micah 6:8  " He has shown you, Oh man, what is good. What does the LORD require of you, but to act justly, to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God."    What does it take to have trust in Jesus and in God?  How do you walk humbly with God?  Are you able to act justly and at the same time be merciful with others? That's a challenge. It is believed that those who are 'born from above' are truly endowed with a new life in Christ Jesus. It fills them with the "Godly nature" of Jesus himself.  Wi...
