Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013 Surprise  #4 Summer Herd 2013  8 x 8 inches Acrylic on Canvas.  This was excitement building as I painted this contemporary palette knife horse painting.  It reminded me of our do Paddy and how he plays.  Horse have a really neat sense of humor at times.  They learn little things to get your attention that can sometimes be cute or obnoxious.     Kids are like that too.  They learn what buttons to push just to get some type of response from us.  If you think a step forward, God knows how to get our attention as well when we are wandering off in the wrong direction.   S OLD Laurie Pace A Texas Artist Golden Pond Studio Visit the Visual Language Artist of the Day Blog.

Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013 Shiny Red Shoes 24 x 30 inches Oil on Canvas.   Oh my, and where did he come from?   Somewhere along the way of paint, in what Hall Groat II refers to as the New York Abstract Expressionist movement of the 30's and 40's... this painting come to life. Not sure if I can do it again, but the piece in person is pretty incredible. It is a definite thing that the Spirit was in place as I painted.  Enjoy this contemporary Horse painting and if you are interested, you can purchase it through Steve Sonnen at MIrada Fine Art .

  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013 Wish Upon a Star   32 x 48 inches Mixed Media on Canvas, mainly Oil.  Well the canvas definitely took on its own spirit as the colors begin to slide off my knife.  Intense and precise, determined and stubborn, the horses had their own way onto the surface and I could only stand back and watch it evolve. I had several process images but decided to cut to the chase and post the final contemporary horse painting. Purchase Painting Here. My daughter and I are both controlling people. So hard to let go and let God work His plan...that we often have to stay each other and remind each other to sit down and breathe... wait upon the Lord. We all have something in our lives we are holding onto tightly trying to control. Encourage those you know to step back and get a new perspective on the situation.   God is waiting and His plan is in place. Laurie Pace A Texas Artist Golden Pond Studio

     © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013 Progress of something new...  32 x 48 inches Mixed Media on Canvas.  The colors are powerful as they stretch across the canvas.  This is a thick layer of acrylic paint covering the surface first for the next contemporary Horse Painting.  I love to contrast the colors of blue and orange; I believe they are my favorite complimentary colors to use on my canvas. Right now Terry is busy painting another room in the house. He finished my raspberry bathroom and the bedroom is now a rich dark gray.  Next on my agenda will be finding fabric of the drapes in the room and making those.  I promise pictures when it is all done.  We are taking our time nesting in with the new house. Nothing is in a rush.  Enjoying every day as God gives it to us .

  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013 Old Red  24 x 24 inches Oil on Canvas. SOLD  I bet you could spot this one... it is a favorite palettes. Painted this contemporary Horse during a severe thunderstorm with tornado warnings. The power was off but I worked by afternoon light and candles.  It sold pretty quick.   It was highly textured underneath the layers of oils. I feel that way sometimes... highly textured between the layers of life. Always watching for those 'tornado' warnings in life. God has that knack of curve balls and big winds.

SOLD  Pretty sure this was last year as well. 2012 was a busy year of painting.  God has blessed me with this gift and it is something incredible each and every morning. This contemporary horse painting was filled with chunky paint that was knifed on. A bit different than my other pieces.

SOLD Commission 2012  This was a beauty that went to live in Australia.  Sometimes I want to negotiate visiting rights with my paintings... and this one I would love to go visit.  This contemporary Horse painting began with a blue layer of acrylic paint and the overlay of oils came next.

SOLD  As I was reposting some of the sold contemporary Horse paintings from 2012, I realized I use wind often in the names... not sure why this one was called White Wind as there does not appear to be movement of wind in the background.  Sounds like a repaint might be in store. Are there times you would like to 'repaint' a situation or words you have spoken. I know I have regrets on several occasions.  I am pretty careful about not hurting people's feelings with hurtful words in anger, but there have been times that I just simply gave in to my frustration. It takes a lot to push me to that edge, but unfortunately I have not just fallen off but jumped off.  Apologies and forgiveness is the only route, but I have NO IDEA what to do when they are not accepted. I pray for you that if you have miss-spoken that you will find it in your heart to ask for forg
