Watering Hole Contemporary Horse Abstract Paintings by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

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

Watering Hole 
24 x 36 inches Oil on Canvas. SOLD 

This was a discovery painting done in December 2011.  Often you are moving paint on an abstract horse painting and different things begin to appear. The horses gathered around the watering hole was born from such a discovery.  Allowing the spirit of the painting to come through works better than an artist forcing an issue with a painting.


 But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.  Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness. James 3:17-18

True to form, brilliant in color, thickness in paint, this painted pony pull is justly called Night Runner.  I was up while it was still dark finishing it up this morning.  Another small contemporary Horse Painting for the fall collection.  You can click here to see more details of the work and purchase price.



Hear my voice when I call, Lord; be merciful to me and answer me.

Beginnings of a Pulled Painted Ponies... Contemporary Horse paintings by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

A pulled Painted Pony in Progress... Night Runner 
12 x 18 inches Oil on Canvas.  

Well, I was going to pull straight through, but Terry walked in and was ready to leave for a Whole Foods run. I do not like to miss those at all.
I was into a lavender and prussian blue mood as I began to pull this small version of the Painted Ponies. These horses are tied to my heart and have been since 2006. See the finished painting tomorrow.

Guard my life and rescue me; do not let me be put to shame,
    for I take refuge in you.  May integrity and uprightness protect me,
    because my hope, Lord, is in you. Psalm 25:20-21

Making Headway Contemporary Abstract Horse Paintings by Texas Artist Laurie Pace


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

16 x 20 inches Oil on Canvas. 

Finished this one up. I am posting it on CFAI.co to sell it. This is about the third in my fall series in the smaller sizes of contemporary horse paintings. Some will be at the fall show in Dallas with the Artists of Texas. Some will be available here on line.



In you, Lord my God, I put my trust. I trust in you;
    do not let me be put to shame, nor let my enemies triumph over me.
No one who hopes in you will ever be put to shame,
but shame will come on those who are treacherous without cause. 
Psalm 25:1-3

Beginnings of Making Headway Contemporary Horse Paintings by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

Very Beginnings Making Headway 
16 x 20 inches Oil on Canvas. Available 

I am always sketching and referring back to sketches that really pull to me when I am working.   I did not know which sketch I would use at this point as I began to put colors in the background. Note I am working horizontally as I block in color.  I have to trust in the spirit of the paint as it builds. It ended up going vertical.  This is a 16 x 20 painting, small for me but more affordable to collect.


Truly we have no control in our lives either.  We think things are 'horizontal'...but they turn out 'vertical'.  Only God knows and until you trust in Him, you life cannot be filled with His grace or His peace.


Great peace have those who love your law,
    and nothing can make them stumble. Psalm 119:65

White Runner Contemporary Horse Paintings by Texas Artist Laurie Pace


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

White Runner 
16 x 20 inches Oil on Canvas. 

Well it is at the 'hang around the studio stage. Still need to shoot it in good light. Finished it after dark and you never can get a good photo of it.  This is definitely at contemporary horse painting.  Brush and not knife but full of spunk, life and spirit... life on the run you might say.
Unburdened by 'stuff' and 'people'.

You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace;
the mountains and hills will burst into song before you,
and all the trees of the field will clap their hands.
Instead of the thorn bush will grow the juniper,
    and instead of briers the myrtle will grow. This will be for the Lord’s renown, for an everlasting sign, that will endure forever.” Psalm 55:12-13
