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

I have continued to do commission paintings, so please reach out on my website to contact me if you are interested in one.

Night Appaloosa  By Laurie Pace 
 Size:8 x 10  Mixed Media on Canvas.


I went back and forth on this Appaloosa Painting.  It is really much prettier in hand than in the image. Stop by my website by clicking the link above to see some close up shots of this painting. This is the second of two more realistic paintings I did this week.  The Appaloosa is definitely one of my favorite horses to paint.

Horse 54 Summer Twilight, Contemporary Horse Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace



Horse 54 Summer Twilight by Laurie Pae

Horse 54  Summer Twilight

 Size: 9 x 12  Mixed Media on Canvas Board


Always fun to do mixed media pieces. This has in the background pages from a western novel. Over that are rubbed layers of glazing and then acrylic on the top surface. I only do a few of these with a touch of realism to offer something other than abstract.  Maybe these horses will be more collectible because they are rare for me...who knows.  If it calls to your heart, visit the site on the link above to see if it is still available.

This painting hangs in a restaurant in Broken Bow, Oklahoma.  I am hoping to make it up there this summer to see it hanging and to enjoy a wonderful meal.  Keeping up with my paintings is hard because there have been so many...but in the past three or four years I have painted less and enjoyed it more. Doing a larger paintings and connecting with the new owners and making the experience special is what makes it so very special.

And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.  Ephesians 6:18

By the Dawn's Early Light, Contemporary Horse Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace


The Dawn's Early Light  © Laurie Pace

By The Dawn's Early Light 
  ©+Laurie Pace       Graphics One Design 2014

 Size: 30 x 40  Oil on Canvas.


The painting was in my mind a few weeks ago and looking through my painting archives I came across a single horse with a sun rising entitled Dawn's Early Light.  I thought it would be appropriate to do a contemporary horse painting for the 4th of July and name it By Dawn's Early Light.

 Today is Independence Day in the United States. This is a holiday we all look forward from the time we are little bitty until we are old and in our rocking chairs.  In the old days when I was young....we had sparklers, small firecrackers and simple things to light off with our families.  I loved the holiday at my grandmother's farm. It was always darker in the country and the fireworks seem brighter.   

 When I had children, two of the three were boys that played baseball so we were always at the baseball field for Little League fireworks in Nacogdoches. Most of the community was there and all of our friends. 

 When I moved to Kentucky, we went to the fireworks in Cincinnati on the river. We sat high on the banks and literally laid on a blanket looking up watching the beautiful lights over the river with a power reflection from the water. 

 Freedom is a powerful thing. But more powerful is God.

 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.  Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 
Ephesians 6:10-17

A bit more color today as I prepare my thoughts for the Fourth of July... an American celebration surrounding the birth of our nation with Independence Day.

Terry has my  dad's flags ready to line the sidewalks. I am so proud to carry on his tradition in our neighborhood. We have always put out our big flag, but this will be our first year to use Dad's flags. Lady L will be over later to help her Bampa put out the flags for tomorrow.

For the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth. Ephesians 5:9

First Race of Spring, Horse Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

Choices.  Are they good or bad?  Change. Is it good or bad?

Change is inevitable. Choice is inevitable.  Weighing pros and cons to make choices is one avenue to making a decision and the second way is to make a decision with your heart.  I find myself bouncing between the choice of lists and using my heart.  I have to say most of the time my heart leads with the Spirit of God guiding me.  I believe my core values are instilled in me through all my life experiences and those affect my heart decisions as well.

This horse painting is small but packed through with heart choices on both color and approach to the canvas. My addiction is color but in painting for me that is a positive.


Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.  Ephesians 5: 1-2
