When You Wish Upon a Star, Horse Paintings by Texas Artist Laurie Pace



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

When You Wish Upon a Star...
32 x 48 inches Oil on Canvas.
Available Paintings by Laurie Pace 

This painting has been in holding part of a show and this is the first time I have to share it with you. This painting almost sums up 2013 but it was painted in June last year. It was so darn much fun to paint this one... the energy was huge in the studio, music was country and a mix of gospel... and the colors just fell into place exactly like I felt... the dark of night and the light from above providing the path. 

 We had just returned to the DFW area almost a year ago. It was March 25th and I still marvel at the wonder of being home and closer to family. 
God is good, all the time, God is good.

 This painting is available through Davis&Co Gallery in Spring, Texas. The Gallery has it's grand opening the last weekend in March.  I hope to see you there then. 

 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7 KJV

Water Play Horse Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace



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

Water Play
28 x 56 inches Oil on Canvas.
Available Paintings by Laurie Pace 

A bit more whimsical with this one but I really liked the way the paint moved and literally I saw the horse. Subtle earth tones and suggestive paint paths create a harmonious balance for the eye.

 Hurried on time today... painting is calling me. 

 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. 1 John 3:18 KJV

Spring Horse #8 $100 Horse Paintings 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, $100 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



  © 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.

Meadow Gaze Horse Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace


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

Meadow Gaze 
9 x 12 inches Oil on Canvas. 
Available

This started with an acrylic base of left over paint from Tuesday night. It was dry and I began to layer on oils to match the formation of the acrylic and then I began to see the horse standing so silently in the meadow with a ray of light shining on him.

What is not to love about painting... the color, the energy and the delight of creating.  Sharing part of my creativity is really sharing the gift that God blessed me with.  I am enjoying these small pieces again and hope one finds its way into your heart.

Whirlwind, Horse Paintings by Texas Artist Laurie Pace



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

Whirlwind
24 x 36 inches Oil on Canvas. 
Available by clicking here.

Reposting this one. It is dry and ready to travel to a new home. It was painted in early January and had been sketched on the canvas for about six months before I finally painted it.  Laced with color, contrast, thick paint and lots of energy, this unusual horse painting is ready to take off with your heart.

 Yesterday was Stacey's birthday... my daughter turning 37. We had a girl day at the salon with highlights, cuts and the works. Even Lady L got to participate. Then it was a wonderful early birthday dinner with family for her special gathering and then back to our house for cake prepared by Kelly and Morgan.  It was a 'yummy' day and we are so blessed.

Needless to say, I did not step into the studio or down at my computer the entire day.  I have a new piece on the easel and tomorrow will post the beginning progress shots. It is a painting for a collector in Colorado of buffalos.

Storm at Sunset, 100 Horse Paintings by Texas Artist Laurie Pace


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

Storm at Sunset 
9 x 12 inches Acrylic on Canvas. 
$100
Available, email me.

With the changing of my life to a simpler time... yes I am TRYING to get there.  I am reverting back to painting more small pieces to loosen up a bit. I know I mentioned figurative but I have not found my courage to step out of my comfort zone.  So I am going to paint these smaller pieces about 8 x 10 and 9 x 12 and whatever I have on hand and allow you to fall in love with the spirit horse that beckons to your heart. So the first goal is 100 of them this year but not 100 in a row for 100 days!  The price will remain $100 and then $7.50 for shipping to you.

 I have a new website launching hopefully this week and the horses will be on the site if they are available. I can do paypal or CC through the new site and STRIPE.

Horse Painting in the studio with Texas Artist Laurie Pace

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

Horse 2/14/14
9 x 12 inches Acrylic  on Canvas. 
Available, email me.

I was working after our Valentine Dinner last night.  Too full to think about bed, so I wandered off into the studio to pick up where I left off yesterday morning.  Life got in the way of painting yesterday. Terry had sprayed all the varnish, I was trying to catch up on email and work on the AOT website and finish up my new site and time flew by.

Morning called early and I wanted to get this up on the blog before the day got away. I hope to paint more later today on another small painting. I have this urge to dibble back into two favorite areas... one is pathways and gardens and the other is figurative. I was a fashion illustrator for ten years and somewhere inside is the desire to paint the figure again.

 May your weekend be blessed. May you be blessed to be a blessing to someone else.

“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” John 13:34-35 NIV

West by Northwest

Cleaning up the studio today and realized I had finished this painting and never posted the final on it.  I am preparing to ship out pieces to galleries in Denver and Park City, Utah and then painting for my Lexington Gallery and my new Houston Gallery.  Finally warm temps after a long winter of cold cold. My creative juices are flowing again.
