Summer Winds Horse Paintings by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

  
  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013

Summer Winds
40 x 40 inches Oil on Canvas. 


Summer Winds was quite a progressive Horse Painting. I began by rotating my canvas on the easel a quarter turn at a time and working the entire canvas with layers of paint. After I covered the entire surface I immediately knew what I saw in the painting. These are not normal palette colors for me, but I was pulled strongly to thinking of summer winds and how when they are strong they feel like they could blow right through you. They become a part of who you are. Same in the painting... the summer winds are not cold, but they move through each horse in the herd with the layers of paint weaving it all together.  

 This piece is at MIrada Fine Art in Denver.
Contact Steve Sonnen if you are interested in this horse painting.

Herd on the Occoquan Overlook Contemporary Horse Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013


This is the last painting I started at the workshop but completed in my home studio.  I realized how much I missed my painted pony pulls while I was demonstrating.  This one has incredible colors that really do not show well on the computer screen. It is powerful and direct and with a dedicated memory to a dear friend. Her home overlooked the Occoquan River in Woodbridge Virginia. A beautiful home that hosted many wonderful events with her support community for Sunrise children with Tourette Syndrome.   Hard to count ALL the ponies in this one, so pay attention as you do!



I seek you with all my heart; do not let me stray from your commands.
 I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.  Psalm 119:10-11

Weathering the Storm in Progress by Texas Artist Laurie Pace, Abstract Horse Paintings


  
  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013

Weathering the Storm 
30 x 30 inches Oil on Canvas. In Progress 

This is about 8 hours in and still not sure of direction but I am loving the palette colors chosen for this horse painting. I began with the orange paint, then the soft turquoise, then the blues... after that came quinacridone golds, purples, lavender and brown pink.

 The personality is beginning to develop.

Colors of Wind 
24 x 36 inches Oil on Canvas. IN Progress 

My studio is downstairs and my computer is upstairs... so progress shots are as good as it gets.  This is in progress right now in the Advantage Series.  Color is not good in the shot as we have had cloudy foggy days... watch for updates on Colors of the Wind Horse Painting.

Another Horse was Found in Racing the Morning! Horse Paintings by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

Another Horse Appeared.... Read and see more below.
He was found coming up along side.

  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace                                                 Graphics One Design 2013

Racing the Morning 
28 x 42 inches Oil on Canvas. 


I could not even sleep on this one. Something was missing but I could not place the hesitation that plagued me. 

  The camera was still not functioning and I spent four hours yesterday taking shots in various settings and finally in my non camera brain went to the internet to try and grasp what was happening.  Something called the ISO number was causing the grainy texture on every picture and it was driving me nuts.  I began to reset things and adjusted them. The suggested setting was 100 on the internet but I ended up at 800 I believe.  It was too slow at 100.  I shoot without a flash to capture the paintings. 

 While I am working I take progress shots and then take them into photoshop to look at the painting in reverse. I study it and make decisions on how I react to seeing it for the first time... in reverse. I knew the second I finally had decent images of this painting that it was not done... There was another horse hiding in the paint. Discovery easily brought it out with just a bit more paint layering and presto the young horse pressing on the outside to overtake the two ahead of him.  Speaks to me of life.  There always seems to be a competition and we are always trying to edge our way forward.

 I have personally found in life that is not necessarily the right approach. Winning is not the truth to find happiness.  Happiness is in this very moment today.   My dad would always urge us to be the best we could be in life. He expected nothing less. But both he and Mom wanted us to be happy and to follow in life our dreams and go after what made our hearts sing. 

 This is my second completed painting here in the new house and I really found it to be exhilarating to paint it. Now that the camera is back on track, I believe I will be as well.

 May your weekend be filled with happy moments. Savor the gifts that God has brought to you. Share them with others.
