Summer Herd | Abstract Horse Paintings | Laurie Pace

 


Summer Herd
Commissioned Painting of Horses

Contemporary Horse Painting by Laurie Pace

30 x 40 Oil on Canvas

I love painting like this on commissions! I need to do another "herd" piece again. Think that is my next subject on birch... or on canvas. Look at these colors...summer fun with this 'herd'!! Horses have such a playful nature when left on their own... just a gathering of beauty and energy. Abstract Horse Painting filled with color!

Been There... Completed Contemporary Horse Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

 Size:30 x 40  Oil on Canvas.


It is finished... I can say I have been there officially.  The composition of this painting literally grew from the story that I felt in my body of the daily movement of the world and the sun and moon.  Inside that is the movement of each of us... routinely doing the same thing over and over again.  You have been there I am sure!

This contemporary horse painting uniquely captures that moment that you realize it is time to do new things and bring new moments into your lives.
I denied myself nothing my eyes desired;
    I refused my heart no pleasure.
My heart took delight in all my labor,
    and this was the reward for all my toil.
Yet when I surveyed all that my hands had done
    and what I had toiled to achieve,
everything was meaningless, a chasing after the wind;
    nothing was gained under the sun. Ecclesiastes 2:10-11

Progress on Been There, Contemporary Horse Paintings by Texas Artist Laurie Pace



Progress Been There
  ©+Laurie Pace       Graphics One Design 2014

 Size:30 x 40  Oil on Canvas.


The patterns have begun to establish themselves on the surface. The strength in the horses neck is evident by the color choice. I am an artist that goes after 'contemporary horse paintings' with brilliant colors. 

I had hoped to finish to post but taking this composition slowly as it develops and not rushing the energy. I want the painting to evolve naturally.  You can see the rough music through the layers of oil paints as I progress into the next layers of paint. Still caught up in the 'been there' as I think more of the sun and moon and the daily journey and how our lives are totally situated around this natural happening of day into night repeated to what seems infinite or until the sun bursts and flares out leaving the earth cold and dead. 


 What do people gain from all their labors
    at which they toil under the sun?
Generations come and generations go,
    but the earth remains forever.
The sun rises and the sun sets,
    and hurries back to where it rises.
The wind blows to the south
    and turns to the north;
round and round it goes,

    ever returning on its course.
Ecclesiastes 1:3-6

Been There, Contemporary Horse Paintings by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

Been There    ©Laurie Pace 2014


Progress Painting Been There 
  ©+Laurie Pace       Graphics One Design 2014

 Size: 30 x 40  Oil on Canvas.


I am constantly looking for neat things to mount as the foundation of my contemporary horse paintings. I came across a CW book of older music and chose the Clint Black song "Been There".   I shredded it and glazed it onto the canvas.

 "did you ever wake up in the middle of the night"
"did you ever wake up in the middle of the day"
"did you ever wake up in the middle of a dream"

 Those were the lines that struck me as I worked... and as you can see there are spheres in the painting... When you think of how "rote" our days have become... Work, Drink, Eat and Sleep... and do it again the next day. Both Parents working, children in day care.... everyone forgetting how to live... how to be alive.  We have all BEEN THERE.

 So the painting has a strong horse prancing with the sun and moon revolving... like they have 'been there' forever each day.  
Watch for the finished painting tomorrow.

The unfolding of your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple.
Psalm 119:130 NIV

The Beta, Contemporary Horse Paintings by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

The Beta 
A Contemporary Horse Painting 
  ©+Laurie Pace       Graphics One Design 2014

 Size: 20 x 30  Oil on Canvas. Sold


Such discovery fun.  Creative play. Painting full of joy.  I could make hash tags on all of these:  #discoveryfun, #creativeplay, #paintingwithjoy,

 The Beta is power and strength. The Beta has many things woven across it surface and joy literally bounces from side to side. Yes, I have said this often this week, A road traveled but once.... but I did do another one similar that was larger.... two in fact and they all turned out with different personalities.  Beta I believe sold from my Jackson Hole Gallery, The Rare Gallery.  Abstract Horse Painting FUN!

The unfolding of your words gives light;
    it gives understanding to the simple. Psalm 119:130

Summer Pony Mixed Media Horse Paintings by Laurie Pace



Summer Pony 
  ©+Laurie Pace       Graphics One Design 2014

 Size:12 x 24  Mixed Media on Canvas. Sold


Mixed media several seasons ago.  This too was one of those Roads Once Traveled that you can never duplicate. With the difference mediums I used, there was a hope and a hesitancy as I watched to see how things would combine on the surface and if they would stand up to the final varnish.  I did not want to even sell this one, but it is sold and in a happy home.

 Your word is a lamp for my feet,
    a light on my path.  Psalm 119:105

No 200 Last Push Horse Paintings by Texas Artist Laurie Pace



no 200 Last Push  
  ©+Laurie Pace       Graphics One Design 2014

 Size:30 x 30  Oil on Canvas. Sold


This was one of those discovery horse paintings. I was playing with the spray bottle and dripping paint and literally watching it run and the energy of this horse literally came to the front. It seemed like one of those moments in life that feels like it has transpired over 24 hours but it was actually only over two hours. It was a horse painting that left me feeling more creative and wanting to start again, but no matter what I could never capture this same feeling again. It is a road only traveled once.
I have sought your face with all my heart;

    be gracious to me according to your promise. Psalm 119:58

Florida Sunrise Painted Ponies by Texas Artist Laurie Pace, Contemporary Horse Paintings

Florida Sunrise by Laurie Pace

 Size: 15 x 30  Oil on Canvas.


My cousin was here from Florida with her lovely granddaughter. We spent time all over Dallas and also time with the guitar, harp and in the studio painting horses. From our trips to the beach in Florida, the blues of the water and the brilliant blue skies and bright yellow sun plays through my memory bank providing colors for this Painted Pony Pull. 

It is unusual because it is the count of 8 ponies and I usually paint odd numbers.  Just seem to fit better as I worked across finding horses in the paint. 

His splendor was like the sunrise; rays flashed from his hand, where his power was hidden.  Habakkuk 3:4

Horse 53 Summer Sun Waterhole a Contemporary Horse Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

Horse 53 Summer Sun Waterhole by Laurie Pace


Horse 53 Summer Sun Waterhole
  ©+Laurie Pace       Graphics One Design 2014

 Size:8 x 10  Oil on Canvas.


We finally hit the 100 degrees last week and there is no escape. Then we had rain and 65 degrees.  This week it is back up in the high 90's again.  This is what prompted this painting...the summer heat. There is only vivid bright shades of blue sky, red eyelids when you close your eyes to the brilliant yellow sun... and a tiny bit of green grass in the shade. Couldn't have captured it any better in this contemporary horse painting. 


And I saw something else under the sun:
In the place of judgment—wickedness was there,
    in the place of justice—wickedness was there.
Ecclesiastes 3:16

Contemporary Horse Paintings

 Size: 48 x 48  Oil on Canvas. Sold

This painting hangs in a restaurant in Broken Bow, Oklahoma.  I am hoping to make it up there this summer to see it hanging and to enjoy a wonderful meal.  Keeping up with my paintings is hard because there have been so many...but in the past three or four years I have painted less and enjoyed it more. Doing a larger paintings and connecting with the new owners and making the experience special is what makes it so very special.

And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.  Ephesians 6:18

A bit more color today as I prepare my thoughts for the Fourth of July... an American celebration surrounding the birth of our nation with Independence Day.

Terry has my  dad's flags ready to line the sidewalks. I am so proud to carry on his tradition in our neighborhood. We have always put out our big flag, but this will be our first year to use Dad's flags. Lady L will be over later to help her Bampa put out the flags for tomorrow.

For the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth. Ephesians 5:9
