Horse 56 Ode to Joy Contemporary Horse Paintings by Laurie Pace

Horse 56 Ode to Joy by Laurie Pace

 Size:8 x 10  Oil on Canvas.


This painting is thick.  It is really thick. I have some additional close up images on the main website if you want to see them. I loved the way the colors blended throughout the background and in the center of the horse. His head is tilted up to feel the sun on his face in the early morning cool breeze. The grass is wet and covered in dew and the day has just begun. 

Do you stretch in bed and feel this way sometimes? Eager to get up and start your day?  That is one wonderful thing about life, we are not 'stuck' to a time clock, but we still stay responsible to what needs to be accomplished in our lives. What brings your joy to the surface? Mine is the early morning sunrise.

He is like the light of morning at sunrise on a cloudless morning, like the brightness after rain that brings grass from the earth. 2 Samuel 23:4

Right now it is in the 'Hanging out" mode while I study it over a week. Changes can always happen. The most important change is being back in the studio painting.  

When we are faced with problems and tough issues, we must believe that God has his way in place and we must trust. Believe me as I feel like this has lasted a very long time, since the second week of December in fact.   I sort of missed out on Christmas and New Years. But for whatever reason, I am home and not out and about among people right now.  I am going to take this week to slowly gain back strength and paint again.  Terry has been awesome keeping up with all the house keeping and the cooking.  In fact he is down there right now cooking as I am blogging.   


And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. 2 Kings 2:11

Crossing the Meadow Contemporary Horse Paintings by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

Crossing the Meadow 
16 x 20 inches Oil on Canvas. SOLD Commissioned Painting 

I arrived at the smile I wait for and that feeling of energy and completeness.  Incredible knife work with very thick strokes of color complete this dynamic contemporary horse painting heading for the United Kingdom when it is dry. That may be a month as thick as this paint is.  To the drying room it will go.

A new week is already begun and I have sketches in mind as I begin  to work in the studio this week.

STRONG stunning piece for a room. The size is 40 x 40 inches. The strength of the horses and the color tell the story through the energy of the palette knife.

Art Lesson on line and color by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

Art Lesson using Line and Color
  

This week I want to work on an exercise to loosen your thoughts and inspire your creativity.  Painting is ahead but I want some foundation and work done before doing a lot of painting. You need to be using all the elements and having full grasp of different mediums at the same time.

If I gave you the math problem of 8 + 3 = N, you know how to solve for N.  But how many ways can you get there?  That is limited. If I give you the art problem of Line + Color = N , N is limitless. You can do this with Paint, you can do this with crayons, you can do this with markers, you can do this with craypas or watercolors or anything. You can even collage using lines and color.

There is no given subject, no given rules or guidelines.  Here is a painting I did in 2008.  Gives you an idea  to loosen you up with thoughts and plan a composition of maybe a vase with flowers...or a cityscape with the buildings in black and white and the sky in colors.

Horse Paintings White Stallion Running by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

  
  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013

Slowly coming to.... 
16 x 20 inches Oil on Canvas.  

I began working on the head of the horse first and coming down the neck in this equine painting.  I was not sure about the background colors, but decided to play them up rather than take them out. Normally I would be taking them out... I can feel the strength in the composition and for the third time painting in the past week, feel a strength in myself that has not been there in awhile.

 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
    neither are your ways my ways,”
declares the Lord.
 “As the heavens are higher than the earth,
    so are my ways higher than your ways
    and my thoughts than your thoughts. Psalm 55:8-9

Original Palette Knife Horse Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013

Running in Color 
32 x 48 inches Oil on Canvas. Mirada Fine Art 

Not sure I am finished but this horse painting is a big one. Four feet in height and almost three feet wide.  I went through 22 tubes of paint so that tells you how thick the pulls are. This is not photographed in great light so I may repost later this week as I finish it up.  It is in the sit and watch mode.
