Weathering the Storm 
30 x 30 inches Oil on Canvas. 
Available. Email Me. 

I have shown this one earlier in May, but again it hung around and back came my knife to work in and weave more color in different places. That is what happens in the studio. I have to observe a painting on the wall for a period of time and then come back and visit it again.

Rock Hard, Contemporary Horse Paintings by Texas Artist Laurie Pace


  
  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013

ROCK HARD 
30 x 30 inches Mixed Media on Canvas.
Available at Mirada Fine Art in Denver. 

This painting brought so much excitement out in me as I worked it over three days. There is quite a bit of detail that you cannot even begin to take in from the computer screen.  I enjoyed it so much I took a trip to Asel Art where I stock up on supplies and did major damage on my bill bringing home even more things to incorporate in the next one. I hope to start it tomorrow.

Contemporary Horse Painting begins by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

Color on the easel. Contemporary Horse Painting 
24 x 30 inches Oil on Canvas. Available 

Stunning contrast in colors.  You will have to come back tomorrow to see the finish of this one. 

This week has been a challenge. I offer to you to stop this weekend and tell someone how much they mean to you and your life. You never know if you will miss them again in this lifetime.  We lost a daughter-in-law this week unexpectedly.

It is not unexpected for God but unexpected for us.  Asking for prayers for the two children, both teens.

Downhill Horse Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace



  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013

Downhill, no doubt. 
24  x 30  inches Oil on Canvas. 

Terry told me the first rule in Italian car racing is never look back.  I thought about this as I found these three beauties in the paint, one definitely looking back.  I would be falling flat on my face running downhill and looking back.  Still not sure if I am done, but I think I am close. There is always this feeling of not wanting to touch it... but I will wait one more day.

Final Stretch Horse Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace, Abstract Horse Paintings


  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013

Final Stretch
24 x 36 inches Oil on Canvas. In progress for South Hill Gallery, Lexington, KY. 

Another in the Advantage Series Horse Paintings and another 10 tubes of paint.  Not quite done but this one is closer than the one I posted two days ago.  With the new studio I have room for multiple easels and paintings going at one time.  I love the new space and the horse paintings are loving it too. 

We had a friend from high school, Lee Small, who owns Lee Small Gallery, and she is an interior designer, come by last week and help with our home colors and some ideas as we get started on adjusting this home to 'us'.  I am a bit surprised on some of the colors with the intensity and depth but I am game!  

Lee's gallery has the work of some incredible artists. You might want to stop by her site.

Weathering the Storm in Progress by Texas Artist Laurie Pace, Abstract Horse Paintings


  
  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013

Weathering the Storm 
30 x 30 inches Oil on Canvas. In Progress 

This is about 8 hours in and still not sure of direction but I am loving the palette colors chosen for this horse painting. I began with the orange paint, then the soft turquoise, then the blues... after that came quinacridone golds, purples, lavender and brown pink.

The personality is beginning to develop.

My studio is downstairs and my computer is upstairs... so progress shots are as good as it gets.  This is in progress right now in the Advantage Series.  Color is not good in the shot as we have had cloudy foggy days... watch for updates on Colors of the Wind Horse Painting.

Running in Color in Progress but almost done. Horse Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013

Running in Color 
32 x 48 inches Oil on Canvas. Mirada Fine Art 

Not sure I am finished but this horse painting is a big one. Four feet in height and almost three feet wide.  I went through 22 tubes of paint so that tells you how thick the pulls are. This is not photographed in great light so I may repost later this week as I finish it up.  It is in the sit and watch mode.
