It's All Mine



heavily painted and textured horse profile painting by Laurie Pace

It's All Mine
Oil on Canvas  SOLD  by Laurie Pace  


FRIDAY!!! Are you ready for the weekend?   I have spent the last week working pretty hard but unfortunately on the computer more than at the easel.  This contemporary horse painting was a small one with lots of thick layers of paint.  It is only an 8 x 10 inch painting, but the oil paint is very thick and full of ridges and depth. Hard to tell from the  photo.  I have a huge canvas to attack... for me to play on. 

Isaiah 41:10 "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."

Large vertical canvas prepped with paint and ready to work on composition.

There are base layers of acrylic paint and as you can see it is large.  I will be sketching this morning deciding what will grown upon this. I am feeling more vertical than horizontal. Also not sure if I will stay with layers of acrylics, or put a layer of clear gesso on this and move forward with oils. My supply of oils is limited and I need to order some Holbein Duo Oils... I also use several other regular oil brands but I have to be aware of mixing and overlays. Gamblin and  Daniel Smith and a few others that I will have one or two special colors.  The Holbein Duo Oils are water based and clean with soap.  The other oils are OILS.  I have learned to use them correctly over the past 25 years and with the break of not painting, I am curious what may be. 

I am signing off on this blog this morning and starting on that canvas!   Have a great weekend.  Elle

'Exhausted' 24 x 24  Oil on Canvas Contact me to purchase by check or paypal. Laurie     © Laurie Justus Pace     Graphics One Design 2010 My Website   Thinking ahead to the Thanksgiving celebration next week, I remembered back to those previous dinners that I cooked, served, ate quickly, and cleaned up.  This is how I felt.  It is probably strange...even for me but I had the best fun sketching it out and painting it. We lost another dear family member this week. She has celebrated her 'continuation' day and is now with her mom and dad and her other cousins.  She leaves behind a family that will always celebrate her gentleness.  My aunt was special to all of us. She loved each of us dearly for who we were and was always ready with a hug or a 'good job'.    My memories are of breakfast pastries smeared with butter on top. It was not like they were not sweet enough as they were, but at her small kitch...

   © +Laurie Pace         Graphics One Design 2019 Sleeping Cowboy Commissioned Painting for one of our oldest friends. 2004  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOLLOW MY BLOG  ON INSTAGRAM     @lauriepaceblog Available Paintings by Laurie Pace          “I love sleep. My life has the tendency to fall apart when I'm awake, you know?” Ernest Hemingway  I really enjoyed painting this scene. It was restful to me as the artist  and loved by our friends.  Sunday is the day of rest. I smiled when I found this in archives and thought it perfect for this day.  If you live in Texas you know that we still have 'rules' about not selling liquor before noon.  If you live in Texas and are in your late thirties and up, you might even remember Blue Laws.   Stores were simply NOT open...
