Summer Winds Horse Paintings by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

Summer Winds

40 x 40 inches Oil on Canvas. 

Summer Winds was quite a progressive Horse Painting. I began by rotating my canvas on the easel a quarter turn at a time and working the entire canvas with layers of paint. After I covered the entire surface I immediately knew what I saw in the painting. These are not normal palette colors for me, but I was pulled strongly to thinking of summer winds and how when they are strong they feel like they could blow right through you. They become a part of who you are. Same in the painting... the summer winds are not cold, but they move through each horse in the herd with the layers of paint weaving it all together.  

This piece is at MIrada Fine Art in Denver.
Contact Steve Sonnen if you are interested in this horse painting.

Beginnings of Making Headway Contemporary Horse Paintings by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

Very Beginnings Making Headway 

16 x 20 inches Oil on Canvas. Available 

I am always sketching and referring back to sketches that really pull to me when I am working.   I did not know which sketch I would use at this point as I began to put colors in the background. Note I am working horizontally as I block in color.  I have to trust in the spirit of the paint as it builds. It ended up going vertical.  This is a 16 x 20 painting, small for me but more affordable to collect.

Truly we have no control in our lives either.  We think things are 'horizontal'...but they turn out 'vertical'.  Only God knows and until you trust in Him, you life cannot be filled with His grace or His peace.


Great peace have those who love your law,
    and nothing can make them stumble. Psalm 119:65

This is the last painting I started at the workshop but completed in my home studio.  I realized how much I missed my painted pony pulls while I was demonstrating.  This one has incredible colors that really do not show well on the computer screen. It is powerful and direct and with a dedicated memory to a dear friend. Her home overlooked the Occoquan River in Woodbridge Virginia. A beautiful home that hosted many wonderful events with her support community for Sunrise children with Tourette Syndrome.   Hard to count ALL the ponies in this one, so pay attention as you do!

I seek you with all my heart; do not let me stray from your commands.
 I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.  Psalm 119:10-11

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

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.

Colors of Wind

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.

First Day Progress on Early Morning Race Horse Paintings by Texas Artist Laurie Pace, Golden Pond Studio

  

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

Early Morning Race

28 x 42 inches Oil on Canvas. 

Have not a clue the direction this is going.  I cannot seem to get my camera in a good place to shot images with the light right either. This canvas was primed with a light wash of acrylic in blue and quinacridone orange in preparation for this horse painting. Right now it is more color placement and establishing composition and energy. Feels strong but with a painting, no different from life, it can take a total turn into a different direction.

Music in the studio today was Air Supply, Darius Rucker and Ellis Paul.
May your Tuesday be filled with His love. Meditate on the love in your life today...be it Love of our Heavenly Father or love that is from your friends and family. We are all blessed with Love. It is there for the acceptance.

Progression on a painting, Spirited Journey Gift of Love Horse Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

   

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

Progress of Spirited Journey -Gift of Love

30 x 40 inches Oil on Canvas. SOLD

The process above was going from the primed acrylic canvas to find the motion or energy behind the horse for this horse painting. Again this is a similar paint to a horse from last year as a gift of love for someone that loved that original painting. The challenge is always to capture a new spirit with a different approach so you are witnessing a different way to get to the end... second layering of acrylic and then the oils come out on the bottom images... with a palette knife and NO IMPASTO to dilute the paint.  Yes it takes many many more tubes to do this, but the end effect is worth it.
