TWO.  The Seattle baby is older than the Florida baby.  Her name is Starla.   The Florida pup is named "Annie" as a call name, but officially she is Pace's Queen Aslaug of the Low Country.  Starla is with our grandson Mark, who just ...

I flipped the canvas around several times before I knew where I was with this contemporary horse painting. Click Here to purchase if still available. Do not love the world or anything in the world.  If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them.   For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh,  the lust of the eyes,  and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world.   The world and its desires pass away,  but whoever does the will of God  lives forever. ...

Then I mounted the blues and turquoise next.  There was actually a small horse running on here and it did not carry the strength I was after, so it became this horse... In a hurry to arrive.

The Lord is near.     Do not be anxious about anything,  but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.   And the peace of God,  which transcends all understanding,  will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Click here to purchase this painting if Available. Our relationships in life have colors to me.  The calm ones are in soft blues and raspberries and the intense ones are filled with these colors. Maybe people can be described by color as well. I know your mood varies, but what color are you as a person?  I have been a violet/purple most of my life, but recently have leaned into the deep dark rich reds. God is good filling us with the 'colors' we need for the day. Join together in following my example,  brothers and sisters, and just as you have us as a mod...

Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013 Color Fast in Progress 24 x 30 inches Mixed Media on Canvas.   So far it is just acrylic piling on in layers.  Took the colors on the palette out a different door for me too.  Red is pretty strong and tying it in with orange is almost out of the ballpark...  At this point I was really getting worried on direction again and a bit hesitant that I might have a throw away or give away painting. Watch for the final painting tomorrow.  Laurie Pace A Texas Artist Golden Pond Studio My Blog          My Website          Giclees on Canvas, Prints and Cards          CFAI.co      GALLERY LINKS Mirada Fine Art Denver CO ,   The Rare Gallery Jackson Hole WY   The White Dog Gallery Carbondale, CO.

  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013 Downhill, no doubt.  24  x 30  inches Oil on Canvas.  Terry told me the first rule in Italian car racing is never look back.  I thought about this as I found these three beauties in the paint, one definitely looking back.  I would be falling flat on my face running downhill and looking back.  Still not sure if I am done, but I think I am close. There is always this feeling of not wanting to touch it... but I will wait one more day.

In progress for South Hill Gallery, Lexington, KY.  Another in the Advantage Series Horse Paintings and another 10 tubes of paint.  Not quite done but this one is closer than the one I posted two days ago.  With the new studio I have room for multiple easels and paintings going at one time.  I love the new space and the horse paintings are loving it too.  We had a friend from high school, Lee Small, who owns Lee Small Gallery, and she is an interior designer, come by last week and help with our home colors and some ideas as we get started on adjusting this home to 'us'.  I am a bit surprised on some of the colors with the intensity and depth but I am game!   Lee's gallery has the work of some incredible artists. You might want to stop by her site.  http://www.leesmallfineart.c...

In Progress  This is about 8 hours in and still not sure of direction but I am loving the palette colors chosen for this horse painting. I began with the orange paint, then the soft turquoise, then the blues... after that came quinacridone golds, purples, lavender and brown pink. The personality is beginning to develop.   Laurie Pace A Texas Artist Golden Pond Studio My Blog          My Website          Giclees on Canvas, Prints and Cards          CFAI.co      GALLERY LINKS Mirada Fine Art Denver CO ,   The Rare Gallery Jackson Hole WY   The White Dog Gallery Carbondale, CO.
