Rocky Mountain Sunrise Horses

©  Laurie  Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 Rocky Mountain Sunrise -> Buy a 24 x 36 inch Giclee Print. Available through March 23, 2024 11 pm Central Time This painting brings back huge memories. It is a big one, thinking maybe 3 ft x 4 ft?  It was horizontal as I began building layers of browns thinking of doing a bear. I have really only painted one bear, but I had a photo to work from and thought... why not?  Well, two thirds of the way through I was not sold on continuing the bears.  I began pulling my palette knife up and down on the area with paint, and then I flipped the canvas to vertical.  I countered in the yellows and then re-pulled grays to cover edges.  I took my knife and began carving in the thick paint. I reverted to my passion of horses and made them larger and more detailed. I imagined them in my head standing on a cliff area slightly higher up in the mountains asa the sun fell to the east and the horses are gazing out to the west. Add

It became part of my clients love story!   This sweet horse painting was a look back at when I met my husband. I was 11 and he was 13 and it was summer of 1964. I would turn 12 a few months later, slightly catching up.  He had turned 13 in July of that year.  Those early teen years were filled with giggles, hand written notes on notebook paper, swimming at friend’s houses… and as always church and family. We had small parties on many weekends once spring of 1966  hit.  I cannot even imagine what this is like in today’s world.  We have lifelong friends from this time and we were all well loved within everyone’s families.  I only had one friend with a wo

A Lifetime Relationship

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2023 Together   Available     This painting is filled, not just with color, but with texture, and layers of thick paint. I chose to start with one horse when I began, but I knew immediately there would be a second horse. When horses form a relationship, it is usually for life. A horse is intuitive with relationships with the humans in their lives, and I can only imagine how deep their feelings run for a companion horse. Enjoy the layers of color and overlays woven through the entire painting, while the slight abstraction keeps the edge of realism present.  Shop other Available Artwork.  Sign up for my quarterly newsletter and painting sales.
