© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 Loosing Direction Oil on Canvas 30 x 40 Sold from Mirada Fine Art with artist Laurie Pace   Good morning.    Finally here in Texas we GOT RAIN. Can you believe light stuff last weekend, but Mon, Tues and Wed... it rained. Our trees are going to be beautiful this fall. Usually the summer heat has them turning brown in Sept and Oct and falling without color. Cannot wait to see the beauty in another month or six weeks. Our Red Oaks always go a beautiful red!!! I have been working in the studio on a Commission painting of a longhorn. Actually have energy to paint today and felt pulled to working the surface and considering what I was doing at the same time!  Multitasking the colors and the paint on the surface. This Painting  Loosing Direction was painted a few years back but I am wanting to revisit some horses in the same approach.   Time to buy paint and canvas for...

   © Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 Rocky Mountain Herd Sold  30 x 40  Oils on Canvas    by Laurie Pace   Do I remember this painting?   YES!! I had FUN painting it. Buffalo Run and total fun.  Compared to my other buffalo pieces, this has motion. It Rocks!!!   My favorite Buffalo painting!  As I step back into painting I see authentic motion and not a ' pretty painting' necessarily.  This piece went to Mirada Fine Art in Colorado, but Steve Sonnen, the owner, did not think it would sell.  It did. It did right away at the show I painted it for! It actually makes me want to start one right now.... I do not think I have enough paint, but it might be worth finding out! Layers of color and overlays create this entire painting, keeping a tiny part of the realism and loosing to abstract shapes throughout. This type of work brings joy to me as the painter and to you and ...

©  Laurie  Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 Rocky Mountain Sunrise -> Buy a 24 x 36 inch Giclee Print. Available through March 23, 2024 11 pm Central Time This painting brings back huge memories. It is a big one, thinking maybe 3 ft x 4 ft?  It was horizontal as I began building layers of browns thinking of doing a bear. I have really only painted one bear, but I had a photo to work from and thought... why not?  Well, two thirds of the way through I was not sold on continuing the bears.  I began pulling my palette knife up and down on the area with paint, and then I flipped the canvas to vertical.  I countered in the yellows and then re-pulled grays to cover edges.  I took my knife and began carving in the thick paint. I reverted to my passion of horses and made them larger and more detailed. I imagined them in my head standing on a cliff area slightly higher up in the mountains asa the sun fell to t...
