Strength of Day, Contemporary Abstract Horse Paintings by Texas Artist Laurie Pace.



  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2021


I should have named this painting Discovery. I painted this contemporary abstract horse during a workshop I was teaching at the Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas several years ago.  I did paint yesterday. I worked on the eyes of a portrait of a little girl I painted. I will try to remember to share it next week.  Since this is basically Abstract Horses in this blog... I will try to just post my equine work.  

This painting was sold to a minister on the east coast. She has three pieces from me and is a dear friend.  The best part of being an artist is when you sell a piece of work, you add a new friend and sometimes they become like family. 

Time changes many things. Daily Painters, an organization I was part of since 2006, closed its website in 2017.  I miss the friends that I grew close to over those 11 years. We all blogged continuously and pushed forward supporting each other.  Times have changed and especially over the past 18 months. 
Be safe and take care!

Have a fabulous day!  Laurie

Cantilever Horse
5 x 7 inches Oil on Canvas. SOLD 


This beauty of fall colors was painted last fall in 2020. I do have a video of it, but not sure how to get it on here!  ! I will work on skills using google blogger again with an embed. Meanwhile watch the video and see my heart open as I discover this beauty! 



Knife work, thick Holbein Duo Oils, music and love... This is the pure joy of painting! 

Are you an artist?  Are you a horse lover?  I am blessed to be both! So excited to be back blogging again. 



Have a fabulous day!  Laurie

Summer Grazing! Contemporary Horse Paintings by Texas Artist Laurie Pace


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


Posting again!  It will be slow getting started here but I was so excited to find my sign in to use this blog again!  We have a lot to catch up on. 

Grazing 2 had a similar flavor to Grazing which was painted in 2014. This one was painted last fall in 2020. I really do not like to imitate other paintings I have done. The actual journey creating a painting is individual to each canvas.  If not you get caught up in trying to force things to work.  That is why I call it 'The Spirit of the Paint.'

My news is a thought to return to teaching and doing it for free or for a low cost to people that want to revisit the basics and push to find their journey.  Watching other artists find their path in creativity is one of the greatest joys!  If you think you might want to do this, click through to my CONTACT PAGE and send me a note. Let me know what you are wanting to learn or where you are in your art journey.  We really will start with basics things but everyone works at their level.  Just in the beginning of thought on this one.  Helps to know if people are interested in it before I put all the planning and recording into it. 

Have a fabulous weekend!  Laurie

New Direction 
Oil on Panel. SOLD 

It has been literally years since I have posted on this blog.  I will be posting here and on my regular blog, https://lauriepace.blogspot.com.  Over the past six years I have been busy with grandchildren and less time in the studio painting. I have continued to do commission paintings, so please reach out on my website to contact me if you are interested in one.

COMMISSION A PAINTING


This painting is oil on birch with glazing and brush work.  It sold with in 48 hours of my post with it on my other blog.  I will be filling this with some past work and some available work too.  Meanwhile stop by my website and see the paintings that are listed.  AVAILABLE PAINTINGS.

You will see several series there and I hope you enjoy them! With the past 18 months filled with covid, many of my representing galleries have closed.  I have two left open and I will be sending some to The Painted Horse in Broken Bow, Oklahoma.  They have hung several of my paintings there and the owner welcomes the opportunity to hang some for you to purchase! 

Blessings to you and your family. Stay safe and stay well.   Laurie
