Horse 62 Merry Go Round Up, Contemporary Horse Paintings by Laurie Pace

Horse 62 Merry Go Round UP      ©Laurie Pace 2014 Merry Go Round Up    © +Laurie Pace         Graphics One Design 2014  Size: 8 x 10  Oil on Canvas Board. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Available Paintings by Laurie Pace  Follow me on Facebook           Sign up for my monthly studio newsletter. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Merry Go Rounds bring back memories of country fairs and city amusement parks. Always a safe ride and one where you enjoy the beauty of the horses. Carefully choosing your favorite, you climb up and enjoy the ride. Each horse has a unique identity and one calls to your heart.   This painting is one of my signature painted ponies pulled with Holbein Oil Paints on a Canvas Board. It will require a frame to hang. This painting is part of my 2014  - 100 Horse Paintings.   They are a collectible afforda

I am not sure it will make the winter so we have to wait until Spring to know if it has to be replaced.  Both color and line bring the energy into this contemporary horse painting.  Strong colors and thick layering of paint. Won't be dry to ship until the end of September.  I am wondering if I will make all 100 small pieces this year. I paint these small paintings for collectors to buy and enjoy. They are

In the studio horses are gathering as I am back full time painting... or almost!  We have 100 plus temps that are to be falling into the mid nineties this coming weekend.  The long term forecast is for a rainy fall... WHERE IS THE RAIN??? Saving Grace was entitled so because of God's saving grace for each of us. So much turmoil in the world along with the turmoil in our everyday lives. It is only through His Saving Grace that make it through each minute, or i

That is why I am including it in my fun 100 horses this year.   Click here to see the painting and close ups.     It is a story teller and that is why it is entitled Traveling Home.  No matter where we go the constant of God is with us and the journey home. We are all on a journey from birth to death.  Hence came the name "Traveling Home".   Great peace have those who l

White Arabian Nights, Horse Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

Order one here.  Unfortunately, I have also seen this posted on other artist's sites as their own and never have totally understood why anyone would do that.  Know who you are as a person and love and accept yourself and your gifts.  Be Truthful. When we limit our thinking to 'I can't do it', or 'this is too much for me', we are doing more harm.  God Spirit will revel

Purple Horse, Contemporary Horse Paintings by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

Purple Horse  ©Laurie Pace Purple Horse    © +Laurie Pace         Graphics One Design 2014  Size: 18 x 27  Oil on Canvas. Sold ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  Available Paintings by Laurie Pace  Follow me on Facebook           Sign up for my monthly studio newsletter. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This contemporary purple horse is another favorite on Fine Art America. Painted back in about 2008, there is something awing about the colors that pulls to certain people. You can buy a print here. With the strong purples and accent colors, the painting is a positive bold horse painting. There is power with the strength from the colors. It is not the best facial horse, yet in the movement, something draws people in. Have you ever suffered from a disease or a condition that literally sucked all your strength both phy

Three Horses of Color Contemporary Horse Paintings by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

Three Horses of Color   ©LauriePace2012 Three Horses Of Color    © +Laurie Pace         Graphics One Design 2014  Size: 36 x 36  Oil on Canvas. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Available Paintings by Laurie Pace  Follow me on Facebook           Sign up for my monthly studio newsletter. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This favorite painting is not available in a print but one called "Hot Summer Nights" is available in a print.     Only up to a 24 x 24. If you need one larger you would need to email me directly.  There are times when you paint that things just seem to work easily falling into place with composition and color.  I think I have done three of these, two with the darker colors and one with earth tones.  Reminds me of when a river filled with rushing waters tumbles downstream over rocks and fallen tre

Which Direction, Contemporary Horse Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

I am betting it was the earth tones in the composition.  Not too much loud paint in this one but you get the connection between the two horses. There is a connection between us and our Father. We are made in the likeness of God. As a human we have the ability to chose and make decisions in life.  We are aware spiritually, physically and mentally to all around us.  Each of us have gifts chosen carefully by our Father for us.
