  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2014 Horse 48 Uneasy Ride  Size:8 x 8  Oil on Canvas Panel. Available Paintings by Laurie Pace  Raw paint. Uneasy edges. Patterns of paint colliding together weaving into the surface of this panel. It is there among the texture.  A horse painting emerges... easily but with the flow of paint, I entitled it 'uneasy ride'.  First time painters initially struggle to bring content and paint to the canvas. With each day they gain confidence and strength in working with their oils. The biggest hurdle is not to copy or use an image (photo or painting) of another artist.  When you realize as a painter that the surface of that canvas holds unlimited ideas, you have arrived. This blank canvas holds the surface of a new world, a new creation... a new painting.  If painting becomes a struggle and not an adventure, it is time to change your perspe...

     © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2014 Horse Painting 41 Sun Breaking through the Rain 8 x 10 inches Oil on Canvas Panel. Available Paintings by Laurie Pace  Colors were fun in this painted pony.  I actually got stuck working on it with the ice green I was using. There are not many colors that work well with it but the final result was stunning in person. Not sure this photograph does it justice.  Our anniversary is this weekend coming up... still trying to decide what to do since he is all casted up and unable to do much with his right hand.  Morgan and Kelly have their anniversary this weekend as well.  I thought about dinner at the Classic Cafe in Roanoke.  We did that last year and had a wonderful time.  Cannot really travel well like Terry is right now.  More about our anniversary on Sunday... that is the special day.  My brain is in overdr...

     © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2014 Color Rising 24 x 36 inches Oil on Canvas. SOLD  A beautiful new painted pony piece for a friend in San Francisco to decorate her new law office.  She asked for the feminine colors and I think I delivered it in this contemporary horse painting. With some deep thought and a lot of prayer, I may be not be blogging daily.  I can only believe you get tired of getting my emails daily and seeing either older pieces or old thoughts even at times.  With the job of editor of Visual Language Magazine I stay pretty involved on the computer with many artists daily. I am working this spring to be back in the studio more and bring to you NEW work and new pieces and new ideas for art.  If there is anything you would like to see me paint, please email me by clicking HERE, or going to my website and use the CONTACT ME page .

SOLD  With the power in the bottom half of the painting I know I will be reworking the top half or the part you see from the light purple top left over to the darkening streaks behind the rider in this contemporary Horse Painting. I will probably take the images into photoshop to see direction before layering again with my knife.

Lickety Split 48" x 48" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas Contemporary Equine Art With a few details to go, a few strokes here and there....it could be completed today. I want to work on the eyes, and have a critique on it at the studio.  It is always  good to have some input from other artists.  I wanted the horses to be bold, energetic and colorful with lots of  movement and personality.  My  reference photos for this painting was from three different sources/photos that I took at different times and locations.  The background and foreground has changed from the initial composition.  More work in the studio today, as I am starting a  new series for 2014! Contact  Kay  for information on this painting.  Today is Day 4 of the 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge . Thanks for viewing....KMW

     © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013 Reverence to the Sun 30 x 30 inches Oil on Canvas. SOLD  This horse painting is truly weaving together a very strong presence on this canvas. Brilliant colors blending and mixing with the layering of paint. I am smiling with the joy that seems to come from the surface as I imagine this great horse stopping to bow his head to the brilliance of the morning sun over the Rockies.  "And Mary said: “My soul glorifies the Lord      and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,  for he has been mindful     of the humble state of his servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed,      for the Mighty One has done great things for me—     holy is his name. His mercy extends to those who fear him,   from generation to generation. He has performed mighty...

     © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013 Reverence to the Sun 30 x 30 inches Oil on Canvas. SOLD  I get excited when the layering truly begins to define the horse and the spirit of the horse. The paints always mix together differently and the flow of energy varies with the climate outside the studio... God's influence always constant with every stroke of the knife. Spreading from the face through the powerful neck. The collector wanted defined muscles and movement with the stillness. I am not sure of the title, but this is what seems to feel like it fits, Reverence to the Sun. Sometimes the spirit just overtakes us in life and we burst forth with song or exclamations of thanks... Have you felt that this Holy Season? Usually I am breaking out in song and praising Him as I do. Even at the mall today with Lady L, choirs were performing Christmas carols and hymns and we were singing alon...

Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013 Single Joy 9 x 12 inches Acrylic on Canvas.   Email Here to Enter your name in the 12 Days of Christmas Giveaways.  The ninth day painting was another one painted 10 days ago in front of the fire. Perhaps that is how the sky ended up so red... it was warm and cozy and my dog was at my feet. Another 'fun' painting to unwind that weekend. Too cold to walk and too cold and wet to leave the house. *Remember the winners will be chosen AFTER two days because the blog comes out on one day but it is emailed the next to my subscribers, so there will always be a delay of one day.  *If you live out of the continental USA and you win, you must cover your shipping.  Just email me to be enter for the 12 Days of Christmas Give Away.  Enter just once for the full contest if you want to.
