SOLD Available Paintings by Laurie Pace  Stop by my website to see available paintings.  I cannot believe this is the end of June... and tomorrow is July.  I count through the summer months in anticipation of Fall, often trying to hurry time.  Does not make sense!   July is ahead with many family activities and joyful gatherings... birthdays, the Fourth of July and lazy summer evenings.  My twinkle light surround the back porch area... the mosquito plants surround the porch and the little egg filled with citronella is doing its job. Memories in the making on these hot summer days and lazy evenings.  Terry has our backyard filled with roses, flowers and our garden. Our morning hours are spent from about 6-7 in the garden and...

On The Lamb   © Laurie Pace 2014   © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2014 On The Lamb  Size:32 x 48  Oil on Canvas. Robert Kelly Home Gallery Available Paintings by Laurie Pace  Here is the final on this painting. You can see I pulled in some soft oranges in the sky  contrasting with the blues. The reds are strong in the center of the painting contrasting the next layer of green sliding across in the lower middle area and the bottom is a combo of white, grey red and blue. It is a strong piece with very thick layers of paint.   Email Kim at Robert Kelly if you are interested in this painting. Here are some close up images below. May your weekend be filled with FUN... laughter and new memories.   Praise the Lord. Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;     his love endures forever.

Robert Kelly Home Gallery Available Paintings by Laurie Pace  Okay, tomorrow I will post the final painting of ON THE LAMB.  This is a sneak preview of where I stopped to sleep after a ten hour day straight.  This is really a different combination of palette colors but I now it is changing right now as I just cannot stop without a balance of hot and cold with the green as strong as it is in the composition.  Did you ever think about reinventing yourself?  My Dad always said sometimes you have to fake it till you make it.  Establishing new habits is often hard at any age. But you have choices on who you are, what you stand for, and what life experiences make up your life and your journey. Don't get stuck in the past. Be brave and do something new. Ma...

Roll Over Red   © Laurie Pace 2014   © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2014 Roll Over Red  Size: 30 x 30  Oil on Canvas.Sold Available Paintings by Laurie Pace  Topsy Turvy with this one.  I have painted two 'roll overs' in the past ten years. This is another expression of FREEDOM! While I write about diet all the time... I will veer away from that.   But did you know that birth control by pill was approved by the FDA and it was released to the public in 1960?  One of the 'out of the box' things from the sixties.  The population at that time was   179,979,000.  Today it is  over 314 million.  Don't think those pills worked. We have not quite doubled in population. Our  national debt was 286.3 billion in 1960.  Today at the writing of this blog it is $17,573,178,726,315.34. Well, we have really stepped up the natio...

AWE   © Laurie Pace 2014      © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2014 AWE  Size: 20 x 30  Oil on Canvas.Sold Available Paintings by Laurie Pace  This is another blend of expressive color and still representational subject matter... ie the horse.   This sold directly from my home studio about 12 hours after I posted it on the blog.   In actions I am finishing up ON THE LAMB... and decided not to post progress pictures... because simply... most of it was painted straight in a 10 hour day... and touch ups after the main paint.  I am holding off till Saturday to post it! Meanwhile... what would it be like to play hooky from your every day life?  Yesterday I shared one dream of a Canadian Trek... hummm what comes to mind this morning. What are you suppose to do in your sixties?  Our CPA convinced us early retirement was the way to go and that is what...

Spring Princess   © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace   Graphics One Design 2014 Spring Princess  Size:20 x 30  Oil on Canvas SOLD. Available Paintings by Laurie Pace  One of the horse rescues I support in South Dakota often shares photos with me and this was one of the horses she allowed me to paint. Obviously it is not the typical abstract, but more realism creeping through.  It sold right away as I finished the painting. There are many styles of painting and it is always a stretch to try something totally opposite from the norm.  I am beginning to think more like a kid the older I get.  What if I just want to drop it all and do something unexpected?  It might actually be fun.  Seems like Terry and I get stuck in a rut and we have forgotten how to have a 'blast'.   I know I just finished a painting that I will be posting this weekend entitled "On the Lamb".  I was totally out of the box on thi...

Racing the Fence   © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace  Graphics One Design 2014 Racing the Fence  Size: 30 x 40   Oil on Canvas. SOLD Available Paintings by Laurie Pace  This painting was sold from Mirada Fine Art in 2012.  It was a unique palette for me to paint in the dark golds and caramel browns against grey and white accented with blue and quinacridone orange.  The feeling was hurried...rushed, urgent.  Sometimes you can pass by a horse farm and see the horses running the fence line, and that is what inspired this painting.  There are many horse ranches in Argyle and Aubrey Texas. We lived in Argyle several years when I taught art at Argyle Middle School.  Horses were part of the local economy and the hillsides were full of lush pastures, trees and beautiful horses...well they are still like that today.  As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear h...

     © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2014 First Paint on Wolves, Final paint tomorrow...stay tuned! SOLD Available Paintings by Laurie Pace  Well, I missed a usual step for me. Before the sketch I would have normally put on an acrylic wash. For some reason I was eager to jump in and sketch and jumped ahead.  When I began pulling my colors for the woods I started with a grey blue color and then built out with quinacridone gold, Prussian blue, Carmel Browns and a tiny bit of Titanium white. Tomorrow the wolves will be painted.   I had hoped to have it done for this Sunday blog, but it will be a Monday Post.  #horsepainting  #lauriepaceart  #equineart Laurie Pace A Texas Artist   Subscribe to my studio update newsletter.
