Moonrise Through the Mountains
Oil on Canvas SOLD by Laurie Pace
Good morning from Texas! Two trees equals one horse! This is an incredibly strong horse painting that I did at my Lake Studio "Golden Pond Studio back in 2012. It began as a tree painting called "Rooted". (See Below) I love trees probably more than horses...but it was horses the Lord called me to paint for the past twenty five years. I started and finished the trees on this 40 x 40 canvas, but something did not feel right... I loved the branches and the green but the ground not so much. The paint was oil and still wet in the morning and I spent till after lunch debating, and the Horse won. (See the photo below at my sign off below is of the scraped paint.)
The painting was finished that night and I put it up on my website and it sold in less than 24 hours. They had to wait until the paint was cured enough to ship. The strength of the double roots on the bottom left and the swing up of the right hand tree set my knife in motion. When I paint like this it is creativity from the deepest part of my journey as I allow the spirit of the paint to move throughout the canvas.
1 Peter 2:24 “He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.”
This is a powerful verse this morning especially during Lent for our Christian faith. The years of life have been rich with both good and with challenges. God has seen me through all of it and even today, with the last three years now of two deaths and an illness in our family, I seek Him and rest in Him. He is my Father. I am His child. At the ballpark Saturday night I watched young teen girls racing through to the food court with huge smiles of anticipation. We are to live each day in our faith with this same truth that we live in the presence of the Lord. There will always be challenges and storms, and I leave you with a phrase out of a poem. Elle
