Watching for You

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 Available: Watching for You Buy the Painting   Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Watching for You, the newest horse painting is my  favorite!   There was a painting I was working a week ago that just did not work... I scraped all the thick paint off and from the scrapings came these beautiful earthy colors.  I have created two small new pieces newly listed on my website.  There are some awesome close up gallery photos of the paint showing the layering.  This is the essence of these paintings, to pile them in layers.  There is a week delay in shipping as there are still a few areas wet and these oils form an outside layer of skin that dries before the piled paint below it. BUT I did just sign them both and that is wet.  Shop all Paintings Psalm 5:11 "But let all those who take refuge in your rejoice. Let them always shout for joy, bec...

Watering Hole - Contemporary Horse Representational Abstract

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 Watering Hole Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   The Watering Hole painting is a gathering of four horses around a pond. I keep looking for the fifth horse because I usually paint in odd numbers but this is definitely four unless you see one lurking in the background.  Do you? I would also like to know if you like this style of horse painting?  It is very  contemporary.   I was thinking of doing one similar this next week. Should I?  Deuteronomy 7:9 "Know therefore that the Lord your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commandments." I have been in prayer often throughout the days of late studying the Bible and deep into scripture and gaining more wisdom despite my old age!  There is always more to learn and discover about living your journey here on ...

Rocky Mountain Sunrise, a Horse Painting by Laurie Pace

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 Rocky Mountain Sunrise Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Romans 12:2 - "Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will." This powerful painting  of two horses standing in the winter wind was 'not conforming' when it began as a bear horizontally.  An artist just knows when something is not right. For me it is at that point I have to trust in God and in the Spirit within me to find a new path. The original painting had a lot of brown in it and was horizontal not vertical. You can see the dark colors that were pulled with a knife up and down (Side ways above) when I decided to wipe the bear off.  Then I flipped the canvas vertical and prayed. I loaded my palette knife with white paint and I began to shape th...

The Light Within, is one of my painted pony pulls and I rarely do them.  But I did do this one today!   There is a tale of the Painted Ponies from Golden Pond Studio aka Elle Pace Studio. Back in 2006 a nude was turned into a field of ponies coming straight at you. That is when the story began of those painted pony pulls. There is only one available in large size and it is posted on my website but is at Mirada Fine Art. This is a small one. Left over paint which led to adding more paint and presto over the afternoon hours, The Light Within was born. This is the most collected of all my styles. The second most collected in the upper market 10-22K, is the Good People Story and there...

Continued Painting on Early Morning Race Horse Paintings by Texas Artist Laurie Pace, Golden Pond Studio

     © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013 Continued Painting on Early Morning Race 28 x 42  inches Oil on Canvas.  I am making progress but not there yet. There is a strong intensity of colors building into something on the canvas but I have not arrived yet. Still am struggling with the Canon 7D. Seems like my limited knowledge of its power was messed with in the move. I cannot get clean clear images.  Will have to make a trip to the camera store or find someone nearby to help sort it out. I am hoping this painting will finish out and be one of the first at   The South Hill Gallery in Lexington, Kentucky . Music today was country... Taylor Swift and Lady Antebellum.

Continued Painting on Early Morning Race Horse Paintings from Texas Palette Knife Artist Laurie Pace, Golden Pond Studio

     © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013 Continued Painting on Early Morning Race 28 x 42 inches Oil on Canvas.  There will be some strong changes tomorrow. I have basically worked out the composition but the paint approach is too simplistic. Life is more complicated and created with layers of experience. Such will this painting.... layers of development and I will share each part of what seems to be a paintful journey! Thursday... it is almost the weekend. Still not unpacked. I may have to take two days off to finish doing that.  I am beginning sketches for another stretch of small paintings for the future that will be offered only on the blog. This are paintings that evolve into large paintings. While the sketches are good, I get too tight and involved and life just does not happen like that.  Time to break free and trust again in the spirit of the paint. Texas Artist Laurie Pa...
