Two Trees equals One Horse

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 Moonrise Through the Mountains Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Good morning  from Texas!  Two trees equals one horse! This is an incredibly strong horse painting that I did at my Lake Studio "Golden Pond Studio back in 2012. It began as a tree painting called "Rooted". (See Below) I love trees probably more than horses...but it was horses the Lord called me to paint for the past twenty five years.  I started and finished the trees on this 40 x 40 canvas, but something did not feel right...    I loved the branches and the green but the ground not so much.   The paint was oil and still wet in the morning and I spent till after lunch debating, and the Horse won. (See the photo below at my sign off below is of the scraped paint.) The painting was finished that night and I put it up on my website and it sold in less than 24 hours. They had to wait until the...

First Race and Fire Trucks

© 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...

Spring Evening Dahlia and First Communion

© 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...
