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.

Available Paintings by Laurie Pace

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.

Available Paintings by Laurie Pace

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

Available Paintings by Laurie Pace

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

Available Paintings by Laurie Pace

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

Size:30 x 30 Oil on Canvas. Sold

Available Paintings by Laurie Pace

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

Night Crossing Horse Paintings, Contemporary Palette Knife Paintings by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

Size:24 x 24 Oil on Canvas. Sold
Prints are available. Contact me.

Available Paintings by Laurie Pace

I fell in love with the movement on this painting as it evolved on the canvas. The palette was quiet compared to my normal rainbow palette, but the energy was high and the movement of paint led the eye throughout this contemporary horse painting. Completed with caramel browns, ultramarine blues, white, mauves and mixes of all three...the palette offers up earth tones in a quiet deep thrust.

You cannot plan this type painting. It comes from deep within the creative spirit.

In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice;
in the morning I lay my requests before you
and wait expectantly. Psalm 5:3

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

Florida Sunrise by Laurie Pace

Size: 15 x 30 Oil on Canvas.

Available Paintings by Laurie Pace

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
