  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013 Watering Hole  24 x 36 inches Oil on Canvas. SOLD  This was a discovery painting done in December 2011.  Often you are moving paint on an abstract horse painting and different things begin to appear. The horses gathered around the watering hole was born from such a discovery.  Allowing the spirit of the painting to come through works better than an artist forcing an issue with a painting.   But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.  Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness.

SOLD   True to form, brilliant in color, thickness in paint, this painted pony pull is justly called Night Runner.  I was up while it was still dark finishing it up this morning.  Another small contemporary Horse Painting for the fall collection.  This one did not last long... it sold before it even posted on the blog. Hear my voice when I call, Lord;  be merciful to me and answer me. My heart says of you, “Seek his face!”   Your face, Lord, I will seek.

  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013 A pulled Painted Pony in Progress... Night Runner   12 x 18 inches Oil on Canvas.   Well, I was going to pull straight through, but Terry walked in and was ready to leave for a Whole Foods run. I do not like to miss those at all. I was into a lavender and prussian blue mood as I began to pull this small version of the Painted Ponies. These horses are tied to my heart and have been since 2006. See the finished painting tomorrow. Guard my life and rescue me;  do not let me be put to shame,     for I take refuge in you.   May integrity and uprightness protect me,     because my hope, Lord, is in you.  Psalm 25:20-21 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   The White D

This is about the third in my fall series in the smaller sizes of contemporary horse paintings. Some will be at the fall show in Dallas with the Artists of Texas. Some will be available here on line.

     © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013 Very Beginnings Making Headway  16 x 20 inches Oil on Canvas. Available  I am always sketching and referring back to sketches that really pull to me when I am working.   I did not know which sketch I would use at this point as I began to put colors in the background. Note I am working horizontally as I block in color.  I have to trust in the spirit of the paint as it builds. It ended up going vertical.  This is a 16 x 20 painting, small for me but more affordable to collect. Truly we have no control in our lives either.  We think things are 'horizontal'...but they turn out 'vertical'.  Only God knows and until you trust in Him, you life cannot be filled with His grace or His peace. Great peace have those who love your law,     and nothing can make them stumble. Psalm 119:65 Laurie Pace A Texas Artist Pace Studio  Graphics One Design M

  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013 White Runner  16 x 20 inches Oil on Canvas.  Well it is at the 'hang around the studio stage. Still need to shoot it in good light. Finished it after dark and you never can get a good photo of it.  This is definitely at contemporary horse painting.  Brush and not knife but full of spunk, life and spirit... life on the run you might say. Unburdened by 'stuff' and 'people'. See more detailed images or to purchase, click here. You will go out in joy  and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills  will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field  will clap their hands. Instead of the thorn bush will grow the juniper,     and instead of briers the myrtle will grow.  This will be for the Lord’s renown,  for an everlasting sign,  that will endure forever.” Psalm 55:12-13 Laurie Pace A Texas Artist Pace Studio  Graphics One Design

     © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013 Slowly coming to....  16 x 20 inches Oil on Canvas.   I began working on the head of the horse first and coming down the neck in this equine painting.  I was not sure about the background colors, but decided to play them up rather than take them out. Normally I would be taking them out... I can feel the strength in the composition and for the third time painting in the past week, feel a strength in myself that has not been there in awhile.   “For my thoughts are not your thoughts,     neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord.  “As the heavens are higher than the earth,     so are my ways higher than your ways     and my thoughts than your thoughts.

     © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013 Beginnings...  16 x 20 inches Oil on Canvas.  So I took the canvas and I created the background using Golden Acrylics.  I just chose colors I felt spiritually as I painted and then tossed in the blues for contrast to the deep oranges.  I debated on vertical or horizontal... and usually I would do this vertical but I felt the movement more in the horizontal.  Took up charcoal and sketched in the horse.  If I was knifing I would begin moving paint on now with the knife, but I took up the brush... still on a break from knife for some pieces....see more tomorrow. I often wonder if God ever changes 'THE PLAN' that He has for us? I know we have a certain amount of freedom in choosing things to do in life and we certainly take 'THE PLAN" out another door pretty often.  He probably lets us hang out there in some painful growing ways more than we would like.   Not sure wh

It is hanging around and I see maybe a sweep of gold in one other spot, but I feel satisfied that I captured what I was feeling in my mind and heart. Allowing His spirit to work through me again as I did this past weekend with Water's Edge.  God is our refuge and strength,     an ever-present help in trouble.

     © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013 Blue Moon Wolf in Progress  16 x 16 inches Oil on Canvas.  So I had this 16 x 16 canvas in the studio... just hanging out from the lake. It was covered with some texturing with paper and lots of acrylic paint wiped here and there... and then just left to wait. It has been waiting 12 months and I finally chose it for this painting. Watch the progress today and tomorrow as I take something pretty questionable and see where I can take it.  Name Blue Moon Wolf after the Blue Moon from last night. Terry got me outside to see it. Unbelievable. It is also unbelievable when you take your life, battered and bruised, and find the joy and life that is hidden deep inside of you. Why we choose to carry so much pain and so many burdens is beyond comprehension. Choose to find God's light inside of you. Take the best of who you are and nurture it to grow with Him.  By day the Lord
