Artists Of Texas Contemporary Paintings and Art

  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2014 Horse 15 White Horse 8 x 8 inches Oil on Canvas. Available Paintings by Laurie Pace  I was painting with Lady L in the studio as I began this one. The surface paint again in acrylic and then about 10 over layers of oil before the horse is started. With the horse there are at least five more layers of paint. These take a two to three hours each to do and right now I am promising to do them at $100 each... but I am thinking about doing a few a bit larger for $145 each as well.   Email me your thoughts on this.  I was thinking 12 x 12. If I push any larger than that the prices have to jump as that is then in the sizes I do for my galleries and it costs much more to ship them. White Horse appears next to a waterfall of purple and blues and white... sliding into the green landscape below.  The contrast of orange with the blue and the red with the green...

  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2014 Horse #13 Fly Away 9 x 12  inches Oil on Canvas. Available Paintings by Laurie Pace  The energy in this painting bounds off the surface of the canvas. It seems like a startling palette but it is filled with balance and energy as the reds and oranges make is seem blazing with power. The two horses seem to be jumping across a river of golden energy pouring down from the sun. Hoping Spring might be here in Texas.  We had cold this past weekend but we are hitting eighty this week for the first time!  Fly Away Winter! “In that day,” declares the Sovereign Lord, “I will make the sun go down at noon     and darken the earth in broad daylight.  Amos 8:9 #horsepainting  #lauriepaceart  #equineart Blessings   Laurie Pace A Texas Artist   Subscribe to my studio update newslette...

     © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2014 Horse #12 Hesitation 9 x 12 inches Oil on Canvas. $100 Available Paintings by Laurie Pace  I absolutely love doing this small ones again. It seems to open up so much potential for larger paintings.  There is a sense of freedom with the color and the fear of 'correctness' does not seem to creep in. The creation is in the palette and the mix directly on the canvas. Again with this horse painting there is a layer of colors of acrylics and then the oils pulled on top in the same areas. It is 'accidental' happenings as they mix and take form. Yesterday Terry and I drove out to east Texas to Mount Vernon where we use to live. I tried to reach Ann on our way there, but I missed her. She is a dear friend that I could have used her hug!  We visited the Fletchers, our oldest friends since junior high. They have 200 acres, cows, horses, donkeys, bird...

     © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2014 Spring 9 x 12 inches Oil on Canvas.  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 wh...

     © 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        ...

  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2014 Storm at Sunset  9 x 12 inches Acrylic on Canvas.  $100 Available, email me. With the changing of my life to a simpler time... yes I am TRYING to get there.  I am reverting back to painting more small pieces to loosen up a bit. I know I mentioned figurative but I have not found my courage to step out of my comfort zone.  So I am going to paint these smaller pieces about 8 x 10 and 9 x 12 and whatever I have on hand and allow you to fall in love with the spirit horse that beckons to your heart. So the first goal is 100 of them this year but not 100 in a row for 100 days!  The price will remain $100 and then $7.50 for shipping to you. I have a new website launching hopefully this week and the horses will be on the site if they are available. I can do paypal or CC through the new site and STRIPE. #horsepainting  #lauriepaceart  #1...

I had so much fun doing one color into subject that I did another one. This one had stronger thicker colors in the beginning.  I really thought is would be a horizontal painting and it emerged vertical.      © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013 Descent 9 x 12 inches Oil on Canvas.  Available. The spirit of the paint is truly strong in this dynamite little piece.  Let's make this one a Holiday Special at $145 that includes the shipping. This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all[b] sin.   1 John 1:5-7 Laurie Pace A Texas Artist ...
