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


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

Three Boat Sunrise, Landscape Paintings by Laurie Pace



Three Boat Sunrise 
  ©+Laurie Pace       Graphics One Design 2014

 Size:18 x 24  Oil on Canvas. Sold


When I paint this scene, which I have in several paintings and in various sizes... I always feel like I am there... at the foot of the steps... I feel like I have woken up before everyone else and run down the stairs just in time to see the sun rising in the sky.  The colors vivid and bright on the surface of the water... the boats all calmly tied to their moorings. The flavor of Italy or Tuscany in the balance with the landscape bring adventure to the painting. Are you upstairs in a window looking out, or downstairs at the waterfront watching the day awaken?


Your word, Lord, is eternal;

    it stands firm in the heavens. Psalm 119:89

No 102 Five Red Flowers, Flower Paintings by Texas Artist Laurie Pace



no 102 Five Red Flowers
  ©+Laurie Pace       Graphics One Design 2014

 Size:30 x 30  Oil on Canvas.Sold


I have a deep love for roses. Pretty sure they are wrapped up in my soul along with my horses that I paint. Terry plants roses for me all the time and vases are filled throughout my house with new clippings for each new day. I have roses of every color and every scent. The bushes are chosen by the scent the roses bare. Hoping this day you will enjoy this abstract rose painting.

May your unfailing love be my comfort,
    according to your promise to your servant. Psalm 119:76

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

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



Night Crossing  
  ©+Laurie Pace       Graphics One Design 2014

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


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

Night Appaloosa  By Laurie Pace 
 Size:8 x 10  Mixed Media on Canvas.


I went back and forth on this Appaloosa Painting.  It is really much prettier in hand than in the image. Stop by my website by clicking the link above to see some close up shots of this painting. This is the second of two more realistic paintings I did this week.  The Appaloosa is definitely one of my favorite horses to paint.

Horse 54 Summer Twilight, Contemporary Horse Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

Horse 54 Summer Twilight by Laurie Pae

Horse 54  Summer Twilight
  ©+Laurie Pace       Graphics One Design 2014

 Size: 9 x 12  Mixed Media on Canvas Board


Always fun to do mixed media pieces. This has in the background pages from a western novel. Over that are rubbed layers of glazing and then acrylic on the top surface. I only do a few of these with a touch of realism to offer something other than abstract.  Maybe these horses will be more collectible because they are rare for me...who knows.  If it calls to your heart, visit the site on the link above to see if it is still available.
