Mirada has a broad collection of  Laurie Pace’s  signature equine paintings. The weather is finally a bit cooler from the 100 degree plus days... down to the low nineties. It will not stay long, but we will enjoy it as it is.  This weekend is more birthdays for us to celebrate. So studio time will not be had until Monday.  I have been putting off a new painting for my youngest grandson, Mark Edward, who is about 5 months old now.  I promised them a painting for his nursery and have had something in mind and will be starting on some sketches pretty soon. I will share my process as this will NOT be a contemporary piece, but an impressionistic painting that I hope he will have with him throughout his life.  Good will come

Each morning we spend time together before breakfast with a 'new' tradition for us that we began when we moved into this home in late March.  My mom gave us this wonderful book entitled Jesus is Calling and it has a daily meditation in it along with companion bible verses.  Between that and the wonderful book idea that Pastor Jack shared on Celtic Prayers, we read our morning prayers with the meditation. Most mornings t

This one will be a nude.  But I cannot figure out why I stupidly put a circle in the middle of the composition as that is a huge no no.  Must be the heartbeat of the painting...the oncoming nude.  More tomorrow.

  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013 Colors of Night  24 x 30 inches Oil on Canvas.  Went back to this painting. It has been hanging around in the studio for about a month now... and I just wanted to finish it. It was a good experience. I darkened the rest of the background and highlighted other areas with color and I can call it finished. Layers of texture created this contemporary Horse Painting. Then layers of paint, probably close to 20 layers of paint and texture total. Think about your life and the many layers of paint and experiences that make up who you are. Is God included in those layers or are they all about you?  You are still a work in progress.  Laurie Pace A Texas Artist Pace Studio  Graphics One Design 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

Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013 Process Painting 16  x  20 Oil on canvas  I took to the studio to play and have fun.  I am putting together my workshop for August at Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas.  You can still register at the Gallery for the full two day class or only for Saturday. DUTCH ART WORK SHOP LAURIE PACE   Brave at heart... that is what it takes to let go and play. Sometimes we force things on the canvas and try to make them work. I have learned that abstract painting is not for the faint of heart but for the brave soul that will step forward and not be afraid to make a mistake. For the artist that can be swayed and moved and excited by colors blending and mixing...for the artist than senses balance and composition.   If you think about it you have to be that way with life everyday. If you are over controlling it is simply NOT going to work. That results in total frustration. Trusting God each day fo
