Available Paintings by Laurie Pace  I have a painting sketched on the canvas right now...but it is a larger canvas, 30 x 30.  I cannot get the feel that I want and satisfaction with my sketches.... so I was hunting through old photos and sketches and came across this... and know the spirit that was in this one is the direction of the new one.  Will try and post something for tomorrow. We had Lady L all day on Friday.  My painting day turned into Oma Day but you know what?  I am so blessed to have the time with her.  We spent all day together. She helped me clean the house, scrub the kitchen counters and wax the kitchen cabinets.  We did her math for a few hours, we danced, we played the guitar (yes she is learning) and we laughed a lot. We made lunch for Bampa and we baked apple brownies... YUM...  So that is why there is no new

Available Paintings by Laurie Pace  If you look at the last posting and this one you can see how beautifully the colors pulled out to create the atmosphere foundation in this new Painted Ponies Painting.  Why the Passing of Spring?  We just had Easter and a week of on and off storms and it feels like the storms are passing leaving blue skies and sunshine.  Spring in Texas means STORMY weather.  Here is a close up of this painting and it is available. You can see more close ups on the site hyperlinked above.  #horsepainting  #lauriepaceart  #equineart This reminds me of a painting I did about three years ago  with the arrival of fall. In this painting soft strong colors creating the 'atmosphere' recalling the haze of soft falling rain and drizzle.  Life is a co

     © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2014 Not working for me... 32 x 48 inches Oil on Canvas. Available Paintings by Laurie Pace  At a standstill last night and not liking where this is going. You will have to visit back tomorrow or the next day to see what happens... I just do not like things with so much control, I like accidental creations allowing the spirit of the paint to surface. This is too forced.  It is never a waste of time because the process of painting and layering things builds strength in a painting. If we could only embrace the fact that trusting God as a child trusts us is where we all need to be.  Letting go of control and giving it back to Him enables us to let go of so many things that are weighing us down.  Listen for Him in your heart. If you turn off all the brain drain going on and push back from your computer, TV and work... just sit in the quiet and listen for Him.   "I listen caref

Available Paintings by Laurie Pace  If you visit the site above showing the details you will see the pages pasted on the surface creating the foundation of this small painting.  The horse definitely looks like it is playing around.  I almost scrapped it but there is something about this guy that really tugs at me. Here is one of the close ups and I think you will know what I mean.   Look close and you can see the foundational pages. #horsepainting  #lauriepaceart  #equineart We made the weekend with Easter and the personal celebration of the Resurrection of Jesus.  We had family on Sunday for Brunch and then went to Terry's family's Easter lunch gathering and then to my mom's after that.  It was a long day but a wonderful day and Monday morning Terry and I both felt the peace that se

Available Paintings by Laurie Pace  I really sweated and work through this one. Totally different palette, out of the box AND the studio for me.  I would think I had it complete, take images and look at them in reverse in Photoshop and race back into the studio, moving around the thick layers of paint, adjusting here and there and back up to photoshop... I must have been up and down the stairs 15 trips as this one came to it's finish.  I sent photos of it off to Steve at Mirada for first 'look' and it shall indeed be heading to Mirada Fine Art in Denver and will be available soon. If you find yourself in love...with the painting, please email ME or email STEVE .

The foundation again was paper from books and then paint. Please visit my website to see close up images of each of my paintings.  Here are pictures of the garden as I promised. Terry is working on it still today so I will post more.  Lady L comes to help daily and she gets 25 cents for watering every day.  She posed as a scarecrow in the last picture. This weekend is Easter weekend so I am off the computer for the next 48 hours. I will prepost a painting for tomorrow.  Blessings for Abundance, of love and joy. #horsepainting  #lauriepaceart  #equineart Laurie Pace A Texas Artist   Subscribe to my studio update newsletter.

     © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2014 Horse 27 Four in a Row 9 x 12 inches Oil on Canvas. SOLD Available Paintings by Laurie Pace  Well, I was working on a large 32 x 48 inch painting and I had some leftover paint.  I was brought up not to waste things so of course I had some prepared boards, this one had pages from my old Bible on it along with four pages from a western novel and it was all just 'sitting' there waiting for paint—patiently I might add. So I brought this one over and began to work the paint, spinning the canvas and rotating it as I applied the paint.  Think it went well. As I posted on my website last night, it was only up about 30 seconds and someone bought it. BUT the good news is ... I listed several new pieces so go check them out. Terry has been so busy building things in the backyard and I need to go out and take pictures to share.  I worked painting until near nine last night and had t

Between Painting and Planting I am torn! So please enjoy this one from earlier times.      © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2014 Exhausted 24 x 24 inches Oil on Canvas.SOLD Available Paintings by Laurie Pace  This painting lives on the East Coast with one of my favorite collectors.  They have horses, mixed media piano pieces, this one and more.  This best describes me at the moment.  Gardening, planting, teaching Lady L with homeschool each day, cooking, cleaning and still managing to keep up with Visual Language Magazine and Artists of Texas. God has slowed me down a bit with some mitral valve issues, but I know I am doing wrong when I do it. Drinking more coconut water for the potassium.  Did you realize MOST of you do not have enough potassium in your body?  You might read up on it.  I add the coconut water or carrot juice to my day every day on top of a supplement of potassium/magnesium.  Terry and I both take it.
