The Color... movement on canvas.. Horse Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2014         The Color   sold 36 x 36 inches Oil on Canvas. Available Paintings by Laurie Pace  I did not rotate the canvas on this painting. I did decide to compose the colors to use in one way and not worry about the balance of rotating.  The center seems to be like a flower and the bottom quarter like stems... the top quarter simple and unobtrusive.  At this point I shot images of it and took it into photoshop.  I tweaked a few things on the original canvas for balance but I spent some time looking for horses as that is the 'expected' from me.  With a possible show in El Paso coming up and the need for new pieces at galleries, I have to go the horse direction even though my head saw several other things blooming in this paint.  The horses were easy to spot... can you see them?

Beta, Equine Art, Horse Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

Well, so does watercolor... every media has its strengths and weaknesses and every artist has their strengths and weaknesses working with the different mediums. I was watching a short video on Facebook from another painting doing a floral piece. It was about two minutes long, and watching them work the paint I would have thought it was oil and it was not, it was acrylic.  So no matter which medium you choose to work in, continue to practice working in it daily if you can. You cannot get stronger in your art unless you make time for it. The second challenge comes with finding your voice and personality in your work where you are not imitating another artist's style or work.  We all own our own 'voice' in life and we need to own our own art.
