Friend it is painted for wanted specific colors to match the room and it does do that. I felt like I was painting with my hands tied behind my back.  I do like it ...like it much better in person than in this picture. Sailboat leans with the wind on this cloudy day in this unusual sailboat painting. Terry had his corneal surgery last week, so my painting time is pretty limited. He has a two week of DO NOTHING but that two week of do nothing started with 48 hours on his back. That was not fun. We return to the doctor tomorrow to double check everything and one more time in about three more weeks. It takes four months before there could be stability in the eye they did surgery on.  God remains good...all the time bringing comfort to us. I read somewhere a quote on

Available Paintings by Laurie Pace  The deep dark shadows of the woods around the Brazos River flowing through Hill Country in Texas. This area is steeped with so much history you could fill hundreds of books. Shafts of golden sunlight cut through the trees and glisten at the riverbank. The lead horse reflects the greens and blues of the river as the light bounces off of it. What is happening in your life that bounces and reflects off of you onto others? As an artist I want to believe that my 'free' spirit weaves itself into my paintings and work. I want something deeper than just 'reflection.' I do not want the work to be lacking. Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters,[a] whenever you face trials of many kinds,  because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.  Let perseveran

The challenge was to use lots of pink in this little gem of a horse painting... and I am drawn to the pink in the sunrise colors. I could easily see two horses standing side by side in the early breaking sunrise, grazing on the golden grass reflecting the sun's rosy gold colors. In my heart I am singing that old song, 'Everything's coming up Roses.' For you Millennials ... Meaning: you can say "everything's coming up roses" if everything is turning out very well for someone or for something. For you Baby Boomers and Generation X,  Meillennials are right on your heels. Birth years early eighties through early 2000's.  Seems like every generation has their nickname and with it a different outlook and goal for th

  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2014 Walking the Lines 9 x 12 inches Oil on Canvas. Available Paintings by Laurie Pace  Texture fills this new small equine painting. Texture filled with edges of paint, criss-crossing and forming hatches and jags throughout the surface of the horse painting. With a cool palette of blues, mauves and greens, accent colors pull strongly with the oranges contrasting the blues. What do you have in life that is a contrast for you? I really tend to be conservative and live my life without gambling or taking many chances. Strange though, this does not apply in my artwork. My artwork is the contrast in my life as well as one of the greatest gifts I have, the ability to create.  Terry laughs at me. I love to go into Lowe's or Home Depot and walk through the wood aisles.  I love the smell of wood. I believe in another life I would have been a carpenter as it is as much a part of me as my art. So

Available Paintings by Laurie Pace  The 'lushness' of spring is beginning to literally burst around us. Trees that had no leaves yesterday are dresses in a fuzz of light green today and probably by tomorrow a rich green layer of leaves open. The inspiration was the green of spring. The unique part of this horse is the unique blending of paint through the face of the horse around the right eye. I love the accidental flow of paint creating both energy with blends and excitement with lines. Have already had several spring horses so I gave this one a 'white blaze'.  In life do you 'blaze' through things? Are you known for a particular gift or talent? If you are, I give thanks that you recognize the bounty of what you have and that you will share it with others in service to others.  And this is my prayer: t

The startling effect of the Indian Gold on the neck near the mane creates a path for the eye to feel the gentle neck of the horse.  Strength in the face and eyes on this equine, hence the name, Gaze of Strength. Finally the trees are budding out with green leaves.  It is officially spring by the calendar. I noted on the weather news last night the record high for a date last week was 100 degrees. ??? (this is March?)  We were at a high that day of 54 and a low that night around freezing. It happened in 1916. Ninety-eight years ago.  I actually remember in 2007, seven years ago, we had the wettest spring and summer I had seen in my life time. We never topped 99 degrees and it rained constantly. I long

Available Paintings by Laurie Pace  This is a busy week with family obligations and happenings. I painted some over the weekend and will have paintings maybe every other day to share.  I continue to work on some big pieces for my galleries but intend to continue painting this small precious ones for my website. I filled two palettes with colors... warm colors on one and cool colors on the other and I began to work. It was so much easier with the colors laid out before me and not reaching for tubes every time I wanted a new color. It was easy. It was fun. Paddy remains with fuzzy hairy ears and his look of big head dog. Not sure when we will have time to finish him but at least he is manageable on his body right now. Terry got a haircut last week too, so that leaves me to be next, just not sure when.  I definitely do not need big hai

Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2014 Colors in Sunrise 12 x 12 inches Acrylic on Canvas.SOLD Available Paintings by Laurie Pace  Not much time this morning...but I think if you visit the available paintings site you can see some good close ups of all the paintings. This one was playing with acrylics and literally piling them thickly on the surface. I have a huge 40 x 60 inch canvas on my main easel so I feel sort of overwhelmed while I am working. Very distracted. Sometimes I feel my life is over piled with things and they are not as colorful as these paints. Setting yourself free is possible but you have to be willing to let go. Are you ready to? I will if you will.   But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God’s wrath, when his righteous judgment will be revealed   Romans 2:5 #horsepainting  #lauriepaceart  #equineart
