19 Two at the Raising Contemporary Abstract Horse Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013 Two at the Raising 16 x 20 inches Oil on Canvas.   To Purchase Painting Click Here. This too was painted at my last workshop. I love the connectivity of this painting with the flow of line and movement, like the earth continually turning and the horses standing watching the sunrise and the moonrise... two together at the raising.  This is a pretty unique contemporary Abstract Horse Painting.   " The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God."    John 1:9-13 Laurie Pace A Texas

This was painted at my workshop last weekend using left overs from one artist's palette.  This is always a challenge to me to scoop up the left overs and see what I can do with it. I absolutely love the painting that came out of it... strong horse painting, so I named it Strength of Day. I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart;     I will tell of all your wonderful deeds. I will be glad and rejoice in you;     I will sing the praises of your name, O Most High.

Racing the Night Summer Herd 11 Contemporary Horse Paintings by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013 Summer Herd 2013  Racing the Night #11  8 x 10 inches Oil on Canvas.  So many of my little herd have sold already this summer, so I decided to do a few more.  This contemporary Horse Painting is number 11 in the summer herd series of 2013. The palette knife paint is a bit thicker than many of these little ones, but I got carried away. Notice how we do that in life? We get carried away with things.  We always are thinking about what would make us happy and things to please ourselves. We seem to forget that God knows what best would please us.  He know the secrets in our hearts and the desires we keep hidden from others. At the same time He probably chuckles because we really do not know what is best for us.  Just like a Dad with his precious child.  It is so easy as a parent to know what your child needs. They are hungry and they want a cookie… but you know they are hungry and they nee

Summer Herd 2013 Contemporary Horse Paintings #9 Red Eagle by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013 # 9  Red Eagle Summer Herd 2013  9 x 12 inches Acrylic on Canvas.  I was working with Alizarin Crimson and an orange of sorts and I came across this green an it became a must in the composition. I chose to use it boldly. Sometimes in life we have to be bold and step out of our safe zones. God not only follows us, He leads us and when we falter He carries us. S OLD So Saul stayed with them and moved about freely in Jerusalem, speaking  boldly  in the name of the Lord.  Acts 9:28   Laurie Pace A Texas Artist My Website   Visit the Visual Language Artist of the Day Blog.

Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013 # 8 Patches Summer Herd 2013  10 x 12 inches Acrylic on Canvas.  Same pose from the same picture as # 7 Contemplation Summer Herd 2013.  This began with a knifed background and then a switch to a brush with some glazing layers and then some straight acrylic layers. I love the effects of this with the transparent peaking through like a weave in the composition. Purchase Painting Click here.

Summer Herd 2013 Contemporary Horse Paintings #6 Contemplation by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

     © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013 # 6 Contemplation Summer Herd 2013  SOLD 8 x 10 inches Acrylic on Canvas.  Years ago in high school I was known for my pen and ink drawings. I loved my Rapidograph pens.  I had several points and many cartridges and could sit for hours doing my pen work.  I have debated doing more again and that was the slight inspiration to this  small summer herd painting. I would never do these on a large scale because of the work of Amy Ringholz as it is too close to the signature style she uses. If I return to my pen and ink it will be just pen and ink on paper. Nevertheless, I did enjoy working on this beauty. It is from a photo I took of Ms Victoria's horses in Mt Vernon and a pose I liked so well I have done two horses from it for this series. You will see the other one in a few days. Laurie Pace A Texas Artist Golden Pond Studio Visit the Visual Language Artist of the Day Blog

Summer Herd 2013 Contemporary Horse Paintings #4 Surprise by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

     © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013 Surprise  #4 Summer Herd 2013  8 x 8 inches Acrylic on Canvas.  This was excitement building as I painted this contemporary palette knife horse painting.  It reminded me of our do Paddy and how he plays.  Horse have a really neat sense of humor at times.  They learn little things to get your attention that can sometimes be cute or obnoxious.     Kids are like that too.  They learn what buttons to push just to get some type of response from us.  If you think a step forward, God knows how to get our attention as well when we are wandering off in the wrong direction.   S OLD Laurie Pace A Texas Artist Golden Pond Studio Visit the Visual Language Artist of the Day Blog.
