Horse Painting in the studio with Texas Artist Laurie Pace

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

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.

Falling into Winter by Texas Artist Laurie Pace, Contemporary Horse Paintings

Falling into Winter

24 x 30 inches Oil on Canvas. SOLD

The colors called me to weave into the background of this cool yet warm piece. The cool colors seem to dominate but the warm colors hold the composition together. The four horses in this contemporary painting are part of the weave of the composition.

Our lives are all interwoven together. The company you chose to keep is part of the weave of the fabric of your life and your journey. Sometimes people come and go in a season in our lives and we ravel apart temporarily until we can knit back the fraying pieces.

Do not be wise in your own eyes;
fear the Lord and shun evil.
8 This will bring health to your body
and nourishment to your bones. Proverbs 3:7-8

The Quest for Toby Keith Kid's Korral by Texas Artist Laurie Pace, Contemporary Horse Paintings

On a Quest

36 x 48 inches Oil on Canvas. SOLD

https://www.tobykeithfoundation.org

The name came to me as I pushed to this point. It has to be 'On a Quest'. The energy and colors compiling on this contemporary horse painting give forth the energy of horses running... not running for their lives, but in quest. They are on a quest. The journey is not a predictable one, but they are confident in what surround them and the herd that travels together. With trust and love the journey is always easier, even in the hardest times. Having people not only lift you up but support you and surround you with their energy and love make all the difference in the world.

Here is something from Wikipedia on Toby Keith. He and his wife are the people behind this wonderful foundation. This is about his beginnings in early life. You will see why Oklahoma and the people of Oklahoma are his extended family.

"Keith was born in Clinton, Oklahoma, the son of Carolyn Joan (née Ross) and Hubert K. Covel, Jr. He has a sister, Tonni, and a brother, Tracy. The family lived in Fort Smith, Arkansas, for a few years when Keith was in grade school, but moved to Moore, Oklahoma (a suburb of Oklahoma City) when he was still young. Before the family moved to Moore, he visited his grandmother in Fort Smith during the summers. His grandmother owned Billie Garner's Supper Club in Fort Smith, where Keith became interested in the musicians who came there to play. He did odd jobs around the supper club and started getting up on the bandstand to play with the band. He got his first guitar at the age of eight. After the family moved to Moore, Keith attended Highland West Junior High and Moore High School, where he played defensive end on the football team.

Keith graduated from Moore High School and worked as a derrick hand in the oil fields. He worked his way up to become an operation manager. At the age of 20, he and his friends Scott Webb, Keith Cory, David "Yogi" Vowell and Danny Smith, with a few others, formed the Easy Money Band, which played at local bars as he continued to work in the oil industry. At times, he would have to leave in the middle of a concert if he was paged to work in the oil field.

In 1982, the oil industry in Oklahoma began a rapid decline and Keith soon found himself unemployed. He fell back on his football training and played defensive end with the semi-pro Oklahoma City Drillers while continuing to perform with his band. (The Drillers were an unofficial farm club of the United States Football League's Oklahoma Outlaws; Keith tried out for the Outlaws but did not make the team.) He then returned to focus once again on music. His family and friends were doubtful he would succeed, but, in 1984, Easy Money began playing the honky tonk circuit in Oklahoma and Texas." Wikipedia

"Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion," Philippians 2:1

This was a verse that really spoke to me this morning. Think about it when you read it.

"Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates a brother or sister is still in the darkness. Anyone who loves their brother and sister lives in the light, and there is nothing in them to make them stumble. But anyone who hates a brother or sister is in the darkness and walks around in the darkness. They do not know where they are going, because the darkness has blinded them." 1 John 2:9-11

Rustic Herd, contemporary horse paintings by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

Rustic Herd

24 x 36 inches Oil on Canvas.
Available at Robert Kelly Home Gallery

I could not get a well lit image as darkness hit last night as I finished. I adjusted the lighting so here it is. This is one of my painted pony horizon herds heading to Park City Utah. They ask for earth tones and they got earth tones. A little bit of jewel tones accent here and there on this contemporary Horse Painting.

"And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth." Genesis 1:17

Stacey and I downloaded the HGTV app for decorating and have had a blast finding our our personal styles along with over 200 home images to prompt creative decorating ideas. It is called FOLIO by HGTV. We both recommend it. I will try and keep some images coming on the blog as I strike out and do something different and more daring in my home decorating.
