 Horse 64 Traveling Home Horse 64 Traveling Home ©Laurie Pace 2014    © +Laurie Pace         Graphics One Design 2014  Size: 15 x 30  Oil on Board. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Available Paintings by Laurie Pace  Follow me on Facebook           Sign up for my monthly studio newsletter. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Worked on this contemporary horse painting for a week time period even though it is smaller than my normal paintings. That is why I am including it in my fun 100 horses this year.   Click here to see the painting and close ups.     It is a story teller and that is why it is entitled Traveling Home.  No matter where we go the constant of God is with us and the journey home. We are all on a journey from birth to death.  Hence came the name "Traveling Home".   Great peace have those who l

White Arabian Nights, Horse Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

Order one here.  Unfortunately, I have also seen this posted on other artist's sites as their own and never have totally understood why anyone would do that.  Know who you are as a person and love and accept yourself and your gifts.  Be Truthful. When we limit our thinking to 'I can't do it', or 'this is too much for me', we are doing more harm.  God Spirit will revel

Purple Horse, Contemporary Horse Paintings by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

Painted back in about 2008, there is something awing about the colors that pulls to certain people. You can buy a print here. With the strong purples and accent colors, the painting is a positive bold horse painting. There is power with the strength from the colors. It is not the best facial horse, yet in the movement, something draws people in. Have you ever suffered from a disease or a condition that literally sucked all your strength both phy

Three Horses of Color Contemporary Horse Paintings by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

If you need one larger you would need to email me directly.  There are times when you paint that things just seem to work easily falling into place with composition and color.  I think I have done three of these, two with the darker colors and one with earth tones.  Reminds me of when a river filled with rushing waters tumbles downstream over rocks and fallen tre

Which Direction, Contemporary Horse Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

I am betting it was the earth tones in the composition.  Not too much loud paint in this one but you get the connection between the two horses. There is a connection between us and our Father. We are made in the likeness of God. As a human we have the ability to chose and make decisions in life.  We are aware spiritually, physically and mentally to all around us.  Each of us have gifts chosen carefully by our Father for us. I am blessed to be an ar

I have been a bit under the weather for the past week and trying to catch up puts me at the computer for a long stretch!  I want to share every contemporary horse painting that comes through this studio.  The colors were strong in this piece. They rang clear and bright for the eye to enjoy. Trace Adkins played most of this week. As mentioned early I am leaning more into my CW roots here of Texas with the summer heat.   We are still battling to keep our n

That is how life is. Where we have been is always apart of who we are today. This is available on my website above.  Vivid contrasting colors in this contemporary horse painting bring it to play a strong point in any room.    Some close ups. Click on them to see the layers beneath. And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promise

Amazed begins! Contemporary Horse Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

I do believe it is the restful cadence to the sounds.  This painting as the music of Marv Green in it with AMAZED, the song.   So I just happened to have a music book from the early nineties with the actual music in it... and that with some carefully chosen Bible verses...the background has been laid in on this contemporary horse painting.

Horse 58 Circus Horse by Texas Artist Laurie Pace, Contemporary Horse Paintings

Imagine yourself under the big top... I remember going to the circus a few times, Ringling Brothers in Dallas when they came.  When you are little everything is magnified to you, the lights, the colors, the action... it is all so impressive and at times even scary.  When the horse is brushed to shine, you can almost see the reflection of lights on its coat. In the patterns of the horse you can see the tight rope walkers, the clowns and the acrobats. I lift up
