Horse #13 Fly Away, Horse Paintings by Texas Artist Laurie Pace



  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2014

Horse #13 Fly Away
9 x 12  inches Oil on Canvas.
Available Paintings by Laurie Pace 


The energy in this painting bounds off the surface of the canvas. It seems like a startling palette but it is filled with balance and energy as the reds and oranges make is seem blazing with power. The two horses seem to be jumping across a river of golden energy pouring down from the sun.

Hoping Spring might be here in Texas.  We had cold this past weekend but we are hitting eighty this week for the first time!  Fly Away Winter!



“In that day,” declares the Sovereign Lord,
“I will make the sun go down at noon
    and darken the earth in broad daylight.  Amos 8:9

Horse #12 Hesitation by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

Horse #12 Hesitation
9 x 12 inches Oil on Canvas. $100

Available Paintings by Laurie Pace 

I absolutely love doing this small ones again. It seems to open up so much potential for larger paintings.  There is a sense of freedom with the color and the fear of 'correctness' does not seem to creep in. The creation is in the palette and the mix directly on the canvas.

Again with this horse painting there is a layer of colors of acrylics and then the oils pulled on top in the same areas. It is 'accidental' happenings as they mix and take form.


Yesterday Terry and I drove out to east Texas to Mount Vernon where we use to live. I tried to reach Ann on our way there, but I missed her. She is a dear friend that I could have used her hug!  We visited the Fletchers, our oldest friends since junior high. They have 200 acres, cows, horses, donkeys, birds, snakes... you name it, it is probably there! It was short three hour visit for the four hours of travel time, but I am glad we went.  It left me with some sneezing today...but hopefully that will be short lived! I did get LOTS of horse pictures that support my work... along with some trees and pathways.

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 NIV

Spring #8horsepainting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace


  
  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2014

Spring
9 x 12 inches Oil on Canvas. 
Available Paintings by L Pace 

Usually my paintings are bright and full of contrast. This morning's painting is thick and rich with energy contrast in the pulls of paint. Some of the paint is a quarter inch deep.  This will take until late March before it can ship, but this horse painting is available, along with others directly on my website, or visit my galleries for larger paintings.

Terry has been busy up in the garage. We have an attic space up there but only a tiny crawl space to get up there from the garage. Inside the house we have a huge walk up access to another attic area, but this one is special.  He intends to put a door in a room that backs up to this huge space and make this area a huge closet. It is actually large enough to be a full reading room or play room for a child. Not sure where he gets the strength to be up there right now as it is 28 degrees outside and a cold cold wind makes it feel like 12 degrees. 

I am thankful this day for the extra special things that we seem to not realize we have in our lives....from tucked away hidden attic space, to the simple hand hold at the kitchen table this morning over oatmeal. Make those little things count extra big when you give thanks today.

Stop by my new website and register for my 'occasional' newsletter. I cannot even promise once a month but maybe every other month!

Vast Horse #7 Horse Paintings by Texas Artist Laurie Pace


  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2014

VAST
9 x 12 inches Oil on Canvas. 
Available Here.

I love using left over palette. I have been working on a buffalo painting and of course these are some of the strongest colors in the painting and I had 'leftovers' on my palette.  There is a natural flow to both the color and the movement which is really neat to me as I rotated the canvas adding colors not really paying attention to the patterns or overlays. The composition is as strong as the single horse as a strong foundation behind the 'etching' of the horse.  Touches of Lavender, reds, oranges, mauves and turquoise season the painting.

9 x 12 inches, this freshly painted oil is Horse #7 in this years 100 Horses for $100, but please note NOT in 100 days.  These are so creative and magical to me as I paint them, I want to keep them fresh and unforced. This is a second series, with the first 100 horse series being released in summer 2012 and all 100 pieces sold.  I am thinking next year it may have to change for pricing to be adjusted up as well as the number completed.  

Fun to collect.

Blue Range Abstract Horse Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace


  
  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2014

Blue Range
9 x 12 inches Oil on Canvas. 
Available Here. 

This was part of the three paint from left over Acrylics as well. The colors are stronger and the layers are higher.  There is a tussle and a compromise with the color palette and the movement of the knife. 

Compromise is something important in life as well... finding a compromise means adapting to the needs of someone else. A lesson open to the current generation is really stuck on the selfies. Growing away from self and opening your life and heart to serving others leads to happiness.

Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. 1John 4:4

Settled In. Horse Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace #horsepainting #lauriepaceart



  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2014

Settled In
8 x 8 inches Oil on Canvas. 
Available Here. 

I have been working on the Buffalo painting and will start posting my progress on it by Monday. These are small  equine paintings that are done with a palette knife that I did this week. I hope you enjoy them.

This is another horse painting that evolved from a layer of left over acrylics... dried and then layering of the same colors in oils and then the horse.  Isn't that what our lives are about? Layering of experience in making up who we are? 

Do we really ever get settled into life?  Seems like we are always wanting more, waiting for things to change, hoping tomorrow is better, when in reality we only have this moment at this time to find our joy.

Descent Contemporary Horse Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace Holiday Gifts Under $150


I had so much fun doing one color into subject that I did another one. This one had stronger thicker colors in the beginning.  I really thought is would be a horizontal painting and it emerged vertical.

Descent
9 x 12 inches Oil on Canvas.  Available.

The spirit of the paint is truly strong in this dynamite little piece.  Let's make this one a Holiday Special at $145 that includes the shipping.

This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all[b] sin.  
1 John 1:5-7
