The Painting:  Rough scrapes of color prepare the base of this painting. Overlays of acrylic then create the vision of the horse. This one was painted in 2007.  I may try to do one this week that retains this sense but in my current style.  It is important that an artist explore and continue to learn and grow with in their journey.  It is also important to be original.  A sense of style is unique to each of us that paint, and often through either workshops or straight copy imitation, we see pieces of our own work showing up in the internet in the works of others.

The Painting: Playing off complimentary colors of blue and orange, the strength of this painting is remarkable in person. With my traditionally heavy oils without Impasto, the texture feel of the horse makes him come alive.

The Painting:  I am currently painting new pieces for the Jackson Hole Gallery.  Hollee Armstrong, the owner, wanted another large pull of horses so I did this striking piece that is busy curing and waiting to be shipped.   I have a music piece I am working on as well and one other composition of my new water pulls.

'Observing' Horse Equine Art Oil Painting by Laurie Pace

'Observing'

30 x 30 inches
Oil on Canvas

Contact me to purchase: Laurie


The Painting:  This was a rough ride of not doing what I wanted the painting to do.  Two full scrapings and I finally let the spirit find it's way through and this is what resulted. This is a strong painting and the images are literally carved into the oils.
 
 
The Thought:   There was a great thought here and it disappeared...how I do not know and time I am short of time today to rewrite an hour's worth of work!  I do not want to try and recreate it in short order, so I simply leave you with a prayer for grace today.  Love like you have never loved before.  Take in sights you have missed everyday and give thanks to Him who created it all.  Be blessed to be a blessing.

The Painting: The musing of color so small is a switch for me. Doing this small paintings truly enable me to see what is possible for the larger pieces. If I were working large I would not have patterned colors quite like they are here. The next step is to paint large and see what happens.
