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

© Laurie Pace2014

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

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

No 96 Early Sunflowers, Flower Paintings by Texas Artist Laurie Pace



No 96 Early Sunflowers 
  ©+Laurie Pace       Graphics One Design 2014

 Size:9 x 12  Oil on Canvas. Sold


Has to be one of my favorite paintings. Began with a solid black canvas... acrylic so it dried quickly. Then I sketched out my sunflowers randomly in white chalk and then went straight to my oil paints creating this dynamic sunflower painting. Small but powerful, it is sold, but again something to draw inspiration from. If you are a beginning artist I highly recommend this approach with trial and error. Black acrylic covers the canvas and then build your painting on top of it.  I shared a lesson last year on pumpkins on my website, starting in black and moving forward.


 May your unfailing love come to me, Lord,
    your salvation, according to your promise; Psalm 119:41

Hints of Picasso, Floral Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace



Hints of Picasso
  ©+Laurie Pace       Graphics One Design 2014

 Size:18 x 24  Oil on Canvas.SOLD


This is an older painting reposted but looking at it makes me want to paint something similar. This may inspire a painting this weekend.  The approach to the canvas on this floral painting was to create the background with layers of rubbed acrylic paint and then to block out the vase and flowers on top of the rubbed acrylic. The top painting is in oil and the finish is incredible as a mixed media painting.

 Teach me, Lord, the way of your decrees,
    that I may follow it to the end. Psalm 119:33

At the Ocean Beach painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace



At the Ocean 
  ©+Laurie Pace       Graphics One Design 2014

 Size:24 x 36  Oil on Canvas.  SOLD


The little one on the beach was painted several years ago. I like the full sunlight of this painting of child on the beach.  I love the simplicity of the waves and the pure softness of the sand.

 Blessed are those who keep his statutes
    and seek him with all their heart  Psalm 119:2

Mesmerized, Small child on beach watching the Sunset, Contemporary Fine Art Beach Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace



Mesmerized
  ©+Laurie Pace       Graphics One Design 2014

 Size:18 x 24  Oil on Canvas.


The colors started out a bit differently but as I grew the layers in the sky I felt the strength in the water as it evolved and the waves lapped on the beach... the wind quieting down at sunset. This would have to be the Atlantic Ocean with the sunset and probably further north on the east coast. So much for my input!  Young child watching the sunset at the beach painting. Details below:



I will hasten and not delay to obey your commands.

Psalm 119:60 NIV
