'Heads Up' 18 x 24  Acrylic on Canvas Contact me to purchase by check or paypal. Laurie © Laurie Justus Pace     Graphics One Design 2010 The Painting: Another diamond in the rough. When I began this as a charcoal sketch on canvas, my mind had a direction already planned. As I painted it did not come together as I knew it would and I felt lost with it. I hung it on the wall...went away for a few days, came back and finished it.  This morning before blogging I took pictures and looked at them and realized I had finally captured the spirit I wanted, but not in the colors I thought it would be.  When I hung it up last night to finish drying for the second go round, I was thinking, who could I gift this to so I don't throw away the canvas.  But the moment I downloaded the camera...the presence was there and I was amazed. IT had been there all the time, I just could not see it because I had something else I was looking for that did not exist. www.la...

'Two Black Horses' 20 x 30  Acrylic on Canvas Contact me to purchase by check or paypal. Laurie  © Laurie Justus Pace     Graphics One Design 2010 The Painting:  Something about a journey sinks in with this painting.  The roughness of the terrain beneath the hooves speaks of unpredictable ground;  the background also uncertain as to sky or mountains, leaving much up to the observer. I rather enjoyed my journey as I painted it.  Everyone's journey in life should be unique. To imitate another person's journey leaves one empty in the end with out personal growth.

Yes this is for the two friends, lovers, couples, married folks... the two people that are in sync with each other.  The two that can finish a sentence for each other or know what the other is thinking from miles away.  Soul Mates.  One of my UK collectors saw this and said it reminder her of Easter.  The more I looked I saw what she saw... the Lord is part of your soul as well...woven through you and about you...His touch surrounds you. www.lauriepace.blogspot.com

'Grazing in Snow' 18 x 24 inches  Oil on Canvas SOLD Contact me to purchase by check or paypal. Laurie  © Laurie Justus Pace     Graphics One Design 2009 The Painting : From my archives.   Soft with the moment in winter when the wind stops and snow is piled high and even the cold does not feel cold....the horses are business as usual. www.lauriepace.blogspot.com www.ellepace.com

'Brothers in Color' 24 x 36  Oil on Canvas Contact me to purchase by check or paypal. Laurie © Laurie Justus Pace     Graphics One Design 2009 The Painting :  This one has 15 layers of paint... no joke on that one.  To get the continued softer translucent affect it required more than the normal... and it is mystifying in person when you look at it. I am not sure the camera was able to capture the thickness or the light weaving through out the composition.  Holbein Duo Oils of course on Canvas. www.ellepace.com www.lauriepace.blogspot.com www.thepaintedpony.net

'White Arabian' 30 x 30  Oil on Canvas Contact me to purchase by check or paypal. Laurie © Laurie Justus Pace     Graphics One Design 2009 The Painting:   I tried hard to paint something quiet and still like with this one and I just could not do it. The softness is here but it is in living color.  Edward Gordon told me once to paint what is in my soul and he was right... it is color and the everlasting color that pulls me through the composition. I cannot and will not paint things that are not 'of me'.  I will never be the typical daily painter of fruit and candy and cupcakes. I could probably tweak my love back to people as Edward paints, but right now I will celebrate the painted ponies every day. www.lauriepace.blogspot.com

'November Days' 18 x 27 inches  Oil on Canvas Contact me to purchase by check or paypal. Laurie  © Laurie Justus Pace     Graphics One Design 2009 The Painting : The colors of my personal palette in this birthday painting celebrating life and my love of art and painting horses.   18 x 27 inches in size, painted in Holbein Duo Oils, this is now one of my favorites.  Again, not a palette I normally paint in, but you may see more of it. www.lauriepace.blogspot.com www.ellepace.com www.thepaintedpony.net

'Morning Winter Sky ' 24 x 36  Oil on Canvas Contact me to purchase by check or paypal. Laurie  © Laurie Justus Pace     Graphics One Design 2009 The Painting :  This one grew over a week's time.  It started out quiet gold and then as always erupts in color.  I do not think if you held me down I could paint a picture without a color explosion. What I love are the carved ribbons of color in the forelock and the mane, and the subtle plays of orange and blue. www.lauriepace.blogspot.com www.ellepace.com

'Gentle Woman' 24 x 24  Oil on Canvas SOLD COMMISSIONED PAINTING Contact me to commission something for your home. Laurie  © Laurie Justus Pace     Graphics One Design 2009 The Painting :  She asked me to paint something special and this is not quite done, but enough to share it with you.   http://www.spiritandsong.com/compositions/1529   This is one of the songs I listened to as I began to paint "Gentle Woman".  Her nephew is also a classical Pianist and he has some inspiring music that he has written and performed on this link.  http://derekremes.com/?page_id=4   When I do commission paintings I like to listen to the music that is the favorite of the collector wanting the painting.   She made it easy.... www.ellepace.com www.lauriepace.blogspot.com www.thepaintedpony.net www.artistsoftexas.org

'Purple Horse' 18 x 27 Oil on Canvas Contact me to purchase by check or paypal. Laurie © Laurie Justus Pace     Graphics One Design 2009 The Painting :  I think it was the mood of purple that hazed over me as I started painting this black horse.  I didn't use much black.  I didn't think I like it and then I truly did like it as it developed it's very own cool personality. www.ellepace.com www.lauriepace.blogspot.com
