Then Came Three
Stop by my website to see available paintings. I cannot believe this is the end of June... and tomorrow is July. I count through the summer months in anticipation of Fall, often trying to hurry time. Does not make sense!
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
his love endures forever. Psalm 107:1

On The Lamb, Horse Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

On The Lamb
Here is the final on this painting. You can see I pulled in some soft oranges in the sky contrasting with the blues. The reds are strong in the center of the painting contrasting the next layer of green sliding across in the lower middle area and the bottom is a combo of white, grey red and blue. It is a strong piece with very thick layers of paint. Email Kim at Robert Kelly if you are interested in this painting.
Here are some close up images below.
Praise the Lord.
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
his love endures forever. Psalm 106:1

Roll Over Red
Topsy Turvy with this one. I have painted two 'roll overs' in the past ten years. This is another expression of FREEDOM!

A Moment Contemporary Horse Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

A Moment
From the archives... busy weekend and I am trying to catch up! I am going to take Sundays off from the blog as well.
Have a blessed Sunday and spend it with family and friends.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16

Appaloosa in the Wind, Contemporary Horse Paintings by Texas Artist Laurie Pace
© G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace Graphics One Design 2014
Appaloosa in the Wind
This is one of my top ten favorites as well. It is at Davis and Co Gallery in Houston.
http://www.dandcgallery.com
Color and design are the strong points in this painting. It is not for the meek of heart. I feel more men are drawn to it because of the strength, but many women like the mystery of the work. There is a gentle presence with the stance of the horses calm in the movement surrounding them.
Often when our lives are in turmoil we begin to wonder what to do to calm things down. We loose energy wrestling with what we could have done differently and slowly we begin playing that blame game.
In actuality there is a gentle presence with us all the time... God is there through it all. If we can slow the blame game down and open our heart and mind to just Him, we can find a peace in our quiet contemplation. When we are in a peaceful place it is easier to 'hear' an answer to our turmoil. This gentle spirit of the Father guides and directs us when we are open to allowing Him into our lives.
"If we live by the Spirit, let us also be guided by the Spirit." Galatians 5:25

Horse 46 Fan Dance, Contemporary Horse Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace
© G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace Graphics One Design 2014
Horse 46 Fan Dance
Didn't recognize the flowers? Rotate the canvas clockwise one turn of the square and it begins to fall in place. If you have time click through to the available paintings to see the close ups on this one as they are incredible. With it being a painting built on a painting the layers lend to a depth not often seen in painted artwork. The little centered part of the green on the horses face is central to the contrast of the red throughout the painting. The blue does the same with the orange. I truly loved changing and evolving with this painting.
Trusting in God all the time as you evolved is not easy. We see our friends or family in stressful situations and we wish we could change them. We often find ourselves wanting to push a 'restart' button when we blow our schedule or even our diet. That is when we have to rise above the earthly situation and set our eyes on God. We need to remind ourselves that God is in charge. How well I know His restarts in our lives are often life changing and not always what we wish for. Stay with prayer and stay with God. We cannot determine an outcome in our own life or the lives of our family members and friends. Accepting the fact that we cannot control things, makes it easier to take a deep breath and let it out...letting go of all anxiety and control.
"Pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances."
1 Thessalonians 5:17-18

Horse 47 Facing the Light Contemporary Horse Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace
© G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace Graphics One Design 2014
Horse 47 Facing the Light
As I painted Facing the Light... I decided to keep this painting uncomplicated. It has thick layers of oil and movement with texture. It does not have a complicated layout... it is simply woven together.
The joy was in the simplicity.
We often search for something or someone to make us happy. Same with artists painting on a surface... constantly looking for that perfect painting. Does perfection come from something outside of ourselves? This is when we should turn inward and look for the discontentment and what is behind the discontentment. Something is lacking inside of us. The circumstances in life do not define us. As an artist they do not define our art unless we are using those circumstances to communicate our feelings and express it directly onto the canvas.
Joy is inside of each of us. It may be buried deep and still waiting to burst forth. Why is it, as an artist or a person, we do not give ourselves permission to be joyful? Why does everything have to be the hard long painful way? The joy inside of us was planted by the Spirit and is woven into each of us. We carry joy 24 hours a day. We need to learn how to experience it again, be it in our art or our lives.
No more waiting today for something 'good' to happen... it is already happening. Your Joy is there... let go and get Joyful.
"I have said these things to you so that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete." John 15:11

Blue Mist Horse Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace
© G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace Graphics One Design 2014
Blue Mist
This is a painting completed last year. It is indeed available on my website with close up shots, and if you love it and want to make an offer, please email me. It is in my top ten favorite list for the past two years. I have the photos I took as I worked on this baby and was looking at them yesterday and thought... how did I do it? It is the Holy Spirit working for sure through my hands. I often feel I am on a journey without knowing the destination. Having to just sit back and not try to control is always the hardest thing for me.

Horse 48 Uneasy Ride Horse Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace
© G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace Graphics One Design 2014
Horse 48 Uneasy Ride
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 perspective. Walk away from whatever is limiting you. You have imposed 'conditions' on yourself and it is time to paint in a new light. When you allow yourself this freedom unexpected worlds open up to you. The journey on the canvas becomes joyful and feels like something you have waited for a long time.
"You have heard; now see all this; and will you not declare it? From this time forward I make you hear new things, hidden things that you have not known. Isaiah 48:8

Horse 45 Northern Exposure Horse Paintings by Texas Artist Laurie Pace
© G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace Graphics One Design 2014
Northern Exposure
Color and contrast are the backbone of this fast moving pair or horses... to me they looked like they were flying across snow with a brilliant morning sun. Thoughts went to Alaska for some reason, hence the name Northern Exposure. Make sure you visit my available paintings and look at the close ups on this baby. The paint is really piled high in layers.
Sometimes life is that way too! The tree we planted a few weeks ago has shed most of it's leaves. The arborist says watch and maybe new ones will sprout but I am dubious on this one. This tree looks pretty done.
I imagine God spend time watching to see if we 'sprout' new leaves after our trials and temptations, or if we basically give up.
However, the Most High does not live in houses made by human hands. As the prophet says: “‘Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. What kind of house will you build for me? says the Lord.
Or where will my resting place be? Has not my hand made all these things?’ Acts 7:48-50
