Sail Boat Painting continued by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013 Mid Sunset Sail 24 x 24 inches Oil on Canvas.  The piling and pulling of paint continues as the background is worked in and over laid with different values. This sail boat painting keeps everything basic in structure and line plays a strong point in the composition.

Sunset Journey Sail Boat Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

     © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013 Sunset Journey 24 x 24 inches Oil on Canvas.  I began one of my commissions this week that is a sailboat. With the extra heavy layering of paints it almost becomes totally abstract with pure elements making up the composition of the sailboat painting.  The client is captain of her own boat up on the east coast and this is for her home to remind her of the beauty at sea.

Another Horse was Found in Racing the Morning! Horse Paintings by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

Another Horse Appeared.... Read and see more below. He was found coming up along side.   © G.O.D.

Something was missing but I could not place the hesitation that plagued me.   The camera was still not functioning and I spent four hours yesterday taking shots in various settings and finally in my non camera brain went to the internet to try and grasp what was happening.  Something called the ISO number was causing the grainy texture on every picture and it was driving me nuts.  I began to reset things and adjusted them. The suggested setting was 100 on the internet but I ended up at 800 I believe.  It was too slow at 100.  I shoot without a flash  to capture the paintings.  While I am working I take progress shots and then take them into photoshop to look at the paint

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 Pace Golden Pond Studio Music today was more Norah Jo

Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013 Continued Painting on Early Morning Race 28 x 42 inches Oil on Canvas.  Pushing further into development today, I did get to spend as much time painting as I wanted to.  I am still trying to find my way with the spirit of each horse in the composition.  I have not decided if they are at a racetrack or where they are. The area that is structured on the right, blues and reds, almost look like the stands. Music in the studio today was Norah Jones... a favorite to paint by when I am trying to figure things out. May your Wednesday be filled with His peace.

First Day Progress on Early Morning Race Horse Paintings by Texas Artist Laurie Pace, Golden Pond Studio

     © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013 Early Morning Race 28 x 42 inches Oil on Canvas.  Have not a clue the direction this is going.  I cannot seem to get my camera in a good place to shot images with the light right either. This canvas was primed with a light wash of acrylic in blue and quinacridone orange in preparation for this horse painting. Right now it is more color placement and establishing composition and energy. Feels strong but with a painting, no different from life, it can take a total turn into a different direction. Music in the studio today was Air Supply, Darius Rucker and Ellis Paul. May your Tuesday be filled with His love. Meditate on the love in your life today...be it Love of our Heavenly Father or love that is from your friends and family. We are all blessed with Love. It is there for the acceptance.

Losing Direction... a Herd of Five Horse Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace Golden Pond Studio

  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013 Losing Direction Horse Painting by Laurie Pace 30 x 40 inches Oil on Canvas.  Very wet... and I may touch up a bit more here and there but this small herd of five horses is defining itself with personality. I am so glad I did not stop and scrap it again. I think tomorrow I will lighten a few areas  and then maybe it will be done.  From Golden Pond Studio...  Texas Artist Laurie Pace 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.
