  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2014 Horse #11 Brilliant Sun 8 x 8 inches Mixed Media on Canvas. SOLD Available Paintings by Laurie Pace  This was painted on Thursday... but posted today.  I have zero idea why two profiles in a row, and painted in brush. I think it was the added stress of the week. Promise today I will be knifing my way through a few pieces. May your weekend be filled with His Blessings. I am off to paint this morning. Time to trust in Him and accept the joy he has before me. The path of the righteous is level;   you, the Upright One, make the way of the righteous smooth.  Yes, Lord, walking in the way of your laws   we wait for you;  your name and renown   are the desire of our hearts.  Isaiah 26: 7-8 #horsepainting  #lauriepaceart  #equineart Blessings Laurie Pace A Texas Artist   Subscribe to my studio update newsletter.

     © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2014 Night Run 8 x 8 inches Mixed Media on Canvas. SOLD Available Paintings by Laurie Pace  Such  a busy day.  Discovered on Wednesday night that Southlake Central Market had crossed a major line and used one of my paintings to print off 24 posters of it to complete a wine display.  I was not smiling. Terry and I spent most of yesterday traveling to several Central Markets in Dallas to see if this was HEB wide or just with the Southlake Store.  It definitely was just that store.   I stopped in to see the GM, but he was in Italy.  So I phoned and was put through to visit with the head of Operations here in the Dallas area.  They have my images and my work and they know my feelings about this. Normally for small things that do not cross boundaries with my licensing company, I allow use of my work with acknowledgement of me as the artist and my website. This was blatant. It is very easy to

USUALLY it ends up a horse somewhere in the journey, so time will tell with this one... It may be weeks in the making but this is my first posting of in progress. Thinking God wonders about us being 'in progress' all the time. The season of Lent is upon us. My mom always said add things to your life while most people walk away from habits or foods... perhaps it would be good to do both.   I would give up 'fear' and add 'trust' to my life.  #giveupfearaddtrust #horsepainting  #lauriepaceart  #equineart #childpianopainting Laurie Pace A Texas Artist   Subscribe to my studio update newsletter.

     © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2014 Where the Buffalo Roam 30 x  40  inches Oil on Canvas. Available Paintings by Laurie Pace  This could have been painful...but it was definitely paint-ful. This piece was a special painting for someone in Colorado that is a huge supporter, alumnae of University of Colorado at Boulder...and they wanted buffalo.  The first paint was aimed at several landscape photos shared with me and the idea of wanting a sunrise in the painting.  Even after the discussion of painted pulls go up and down and landscapes go sideways, I proceeded joyfully with lush colors and thick paint. Where the Buffalo Roam Painting by Laurie Pace Music "Glorious" by Chris Tomlin from Laurie Pace on Vimeo . As you can see from the slideshow... the painting changed to the more contemporary pull painting of my horses but this screw up was mine... those buffalo look like the UT longhorns... gotta he

  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2014 When You Wish Upon a Star... 32 x 48 inches Oil on Canvas. Available Paintings by Laurie Pace  This painting has been in holding part of a show and this is the first time I have to share it with you. This painting almost sums up 2013 but it was painted in June last year. It was so darn much fun to paint this one... the energy was huge in the studio, music was country and a mix of gospel... and the colors just fell into place exactly like I felt... the dark of night and the light from above providing the path.  We had just returned to the DFW area almost a year ago. It was March 25th and I still marvel at the wonder of being home and closer to family.  God is good, all the time, God is good. This painting is available through Davis&Co Gallery in Spring, Texas. The Gallery has it's grand opening the last weekend in March.  I hope to see you there then.  For God hath

Available Paintings by Laurie Pace  A bit more whimsical with this one but I really liked the way the paint moved and literally I saw the horse. Subtle earth tones and suggestive paint paths create a harmonious balance for the eye. Hurried on time today... painting is calling me.  My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. 1 John 3:18 KJV #horsepainting  #lauriepaceart  #equineart Laurie Pace A Texas Artist   Subscribe to my studio update newsletter.

     © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2014 Spring 9 x 12 inches Oil on Canvas. SOLD Available Paintings by L Pace   Usually my paintings are bright and full of contrast. This morning's painting is thick and rich with energy contrast in the pulls of paint. Some of the paint is a quarter inch deep.  This will take until late March before it can ship, but this horse painting is available, along with others directly on my website, or visit my galleries for larger paintings. Terry has been busy up in the garage. We have an attic space up there but only a tiny crawl space to get up there from the garage. Inside the house we have a huge walk up access to another attic area, but this one is special.  He intends to put a door in a room that backs up to this huge space and make this area a huge closet. It is actually large enough to be a full reading room or play room for a child. Not sure where he gets the strength to be up the

  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2014 VAST 9 x 12 inches Oil on Canvas. SOLD Available Here. I love using left over palette. I have been working on a buffalo painting and of course these are some of the strongest colors in the painting and I had 'leftovers' on my palette.  There is a natural flow to both the color and the movement which is really neat to me as I rotated the canvas adding colors not really paying attention to the patterns or overlays. The composition is as strong as the single horse as a strong foundation behind the 'etching' of the horse.  Touches of Lavender, reds, oranges, mauves and turquoise season the painting. 9 x 12 inches, this freshly painted oil is Horse #7 in this years 100 Horses for $100, but please note NOT in 100 days.  These are so creative and magical to me as I paint them, I want to keep them fresh and unforced. This is a second series, with the first 100 horse series bein

     © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2014 Blue Range 9 x 12 inches Oil on Canvas.  Available Here.  This was part of the three paint from left over Acrylics as well. The colors are stronger and the layers are higher.  There is a tussle and a compromise with the color palette and the movement of the knife.  Compromise is something important in life as well... finding a compromise means adapting to the needs of someone else. A lesson open to the current generation is really stuck on the selfies. Growing away from self and opening your life and heart to serving others leads to happiness. Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. 1John 4:4 #horsepainting  #lauriepaceart  #equineart Laurie Pace A Texas Artist   My Blog          My Website          Giclees on Canvas, Prints and Cards    GALLERY
