White Horse Morning, Summer Horse #21 | Laurie Pace | Contemporary Horse Paintings

 




White Horse Morning #21 Summer Horses... 

Contemporary Horse Painting by Laurie Pace

9 x 12 on Panel in Oil - SOLD

Shop Laurie's Daily Paintings

This was the summer of 100 paintings of 100 days back in 2012. I sold a painting every single day without blinking. I really need to think about doing that again! This was a favorite for me. Makes me want to grab that palette knife and slice into some paint.

The colors and the angles of the paint surrounding the horse all pull in different directions contrasting and complimenting. Adding the orange burst totally warmed up against those blues and greens! Bring on the color.

“Many nations will be joined with the LORD in that day and will become my people. I will live among you and you will know that the LORD Almighty has sent me to you." Zachariah 2:11

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

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

 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

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

Rocky Mountain High, Abstract Horse Paintings by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

Rocky Mountain High
  ©+Laurie Pace       Graphics One Design 2014

 Size:24 x 30   Oil on Canvas. Sold


Rocky Mountain High... John Denver singing in the background of course... and one of my unusual palettes of all earth tones sauced with a bit of dark red.  This abstract horse painting sold from Mirada Fine Art.

 Layers of palette knife oils spread piling high and mixing together in natural formations. Sweet calm energy flows from this one, like that sweet time you take as you savor something good.

 How sweet are your words to my taste,

    sweeter than honey to my mouth! Psalm 119:103

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

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

"Breaking Light" Commissioned Contemporary Horse Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace


Breaking Light by Laurie Pace ©Graphics One Design

Breaking Light
  ©+Laurie Pace       Graphics One Design 2014

 Size:30 x 40  Oil on Canvas.
Sold Commissioned Painting


I think I am calling it done. Painted to their favorite music, one of which is one of our family's favorite, John Ford Coley. Will have to cure three or four weeks and it will ship to Houston to its new home. This contemporary horse painting flies south in August. I love painting for clients and truly work hard to make the experience memorable. This painting will come with a hard back book covering the painting as it was created. It is all part of the finishing progress. Contact me if you are interested in a commissioned painting. 


I said to myself, “Come now, I will test you with pleasure to find out what is good.” But that also proved to be meaningless. “Laughter,” I said, “is madness. And what does pleasure accomplish?” Ecclesiastes 2:1

Horse 50 After the Afternoon Rain, Contemporary Horse Paintings by Texas Artist Laurie Pace


Horse 50 After the Afternoon Rains by Laurie Pace © 2014

Horse 50
After the Afternoon Rains

 Size: 9 x 12  Oil on Canvas.
Available Paintings by Laurie Pace 

The storm blew in so quickly it caught us off guard.  We have had such a drought situation that rain was a word only whispered and remembered from another time in another decade or another universe. North Texas is in extreme drought. As the storm broke mid afternoon the thunder roared and the rain blew out of the southeast almost diagonally like millions of sharp arrows hitting the two story windows in our family room. 

 The storm lasted about 90 minutes before it lessened and began to dissipate.  I knew I felt like painting and hurried into the studio just as the four o'clock afternoon sun broke through the clouds and the entire yard was filled with vivid colors from the garden, the roses and the green lawn.

 The inspiration ended up here. The canvas began with a layer of pink, white and purple.  The secondary, third and fourth layers began to pile with colors that enriched the surface. From there the emergence of the ponies in the colors. Enjoy... I know we enjoyed the rain.

 “‘Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against anyone among your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord. Leviticus 19:18
