Golden Spirit an Arabian Horse Painting 24 x 30 inches  Oil on Canvas   This was a commission painting for a dear dear friend, Ann. Please read more about these special people that come into our lives below. She wanted an Arabian and wanted to 'fall in love with it'.  I hope I accomplished this as I used her favorite blues, greens and violets contrasting the background with golds and soft oranges.  ©Laurie Pace    Graphics One Design 1998-2011   Contact me for your own commissioned painting: Laurie      Artist of Love Sometimes in our walk we meet those special people. You know immediately who they are when you are introduced. My Mother was the first one I meet. Then for sure my daughter's close friend Shannon. Then I had a workshop this past year and I meet Ann. At the workshop, every person that attended was special.  I felt blessed by every single artist. When I say special people, I mean they don't just 'live'

Always on the run? Always worried things are catching up to you and you have to run faster. Early morning we start out on a slow pace... Looking around and taking in our surroundings. The sun has broken through with morning light and we are newly awakened to the day. We begin our day and seem to fall right in line behind others, following their path and their way. It may not even be the direction we are suppose to be traveling, but it seems safe, others are doing it too.  We stay sheltered and hidden in the shadows hoping no one will single us out.

My brain was not racing but it definitely was not on a straight path of thinking. It was just hitting sunset as I began to pace the floors inside. I escaped outside with my camera. READ MORE HERE&g

It is like fire in the water. God is light. God is fire.

There were no 'worries' or squirrels... I simply went to bed late after the Cowboy game and woke up by 3:30 this morning.  I prayed for friends and family; I sang praise songs in my brain; I did deep breathing exercises.   Then it was 4:30.   READ MORE HERE>>>> Laurie         My Blog    My Website     Giclees on Canvas, Prints and Cards      The Five Graces     The Artists of Texas      Daily Painters      Contemporary Fine Art International    Artists of Texas Blog     Daily Painters of Texas Blog     GALLERY LINKS Mirada Fine Art Denver CO ,   The Rare Gallery Jackson Hole WY   The Dutch Art Galle

The road looms before us as our eyes dart around seeing what surrounds us, often being tempted to leave the road and explore. The 'lines' in society keep most of us moving in 'the direction' expected.  Crossing the lines is the sign of a rebel or a wanderer.

Angels  are messengers of God.  Is it possible to  know if you have an 'angel' touch your life? It is not like they leave 'angel dust', a visual marker that they have been there. Perhaps they leave a heart print or a smile or a very warm feeling of safety.   "He will give His angels charge of you to guard you in all your ways. On their hand they will bear you up lest you dash your foot against a stone."  Psalms 91:11-12  CLICK HERE TO READ MORE>>>>> Laurie   My Blog    My Website     Giclees on Canvas, Prints and Cards      The Five Graces     The Artists of

Reflections of Glory 18 x 27 inches Oil on Canvas The Original Horse Painting is SOLD, but prints are available on  Fine Art America. This horse painting was one of my most popular paintings. The original was painted in 2007 and sold the first day I had it on the blog. Contrasting color palette and the reflective water brought intensity and dissonance to what would normally be a quiet moment of a  horse drinking water. ©Laurie Pace    Graphics One Design 1998-2011  Contact me for your own commissioned painting: Laurie   Choices in Life... What do I do now? Making decisions in life is often not only challenging but can be overwhelming as well. Looking back at life there can be questions as to some of those choices. Bad decisions from the past are mistakes we must make amends for within our minds as well as with those that were affected by them. It is not possible to move forward until you can forgive and ask for forgiveness.  How does on

Brothers in Color 24 x 36 inches   Oil on Canvas   A gorgeous Signature Painted Pony Pull of Horizon Horses Painting by A Texas Artist Laurie Justus Pace.

Low times of grief are needed to provide the contrast to joy and fulfillment. Comparing it to music is looking at the 'harmony' or lack of harmony, which is  dissonance . Cognitive dissonance refers back to the core of life and living.  Conflict or incongruity. There is a vast collection of music in the world with thousands of voices, instruments and infinite ways to arrange notes together to create something unique.  Music is made up of simple basic notes.  The notes are compli

Progression on Flower Painting 22 x 28 inches Oil on Canvas Stunning colors so different than my normal palette.  Deep russets, oranges, roses and greens contrasting with turquoise in this composition of flowers in a bowl.

Or even the days spent at the beach digging in the sand and watching sand castles dissolve back into the ocean. It is not always just letting go and letting God, but sometimes there is more involved when you cannot seem to let go. Turning it over with God.  Digging into the heart of the issues and 'shoveling them out of the way. Turning the soil over and making way for new growth in life. Letting go is always hard.
