The Wolf 5 x 7 inches Oil on Clayboard  ©Laurie Pace  Graphics One Design 1998-2011    Wolves and Closets When I think of wolves it is generally in terms of Little Red Riding Hood and that awful story of her grandmother getting tied up or eaten by the wolf.  Different versions are heard in different families.  I prefer the one where grandmother is tied up in the closet and the wolf jumps in bed wearing her sleep bonnet and nightgown.  Grandmother must have been cold in the closet. When we stay hidden in closets we miss out much on life.  It is much the same as staying in the box, aka the comfort zone. I cannot begin to tell you how much you miss in your closet, or your box.

Hidden in the Light Deer Wildlife Buck Oil Painting by Laurie Justus Pace 18 x 24 inches oil on canvas Contact: Laurie We are in Marble Falls Texas. We drove down yesterday to Blanco Texas to the Rain Bird Gallery that has some of my work. I picked up a few pieces from there to bring to Patina here in Marble Falls. John and Marnie Stange are UNBELIEVABLE folks. If you live in the Austin or San Antonio area, or even Waco, Temple, Dallas or Houston...it is worth the drive to see this fabulous shop. I thought no gallery could top the incredible feeling of creativity, beauty and fullness of Earth Works in New York, but Patina does this. I have a show here at Patina October 10-11th and will be returning home with many ideas on what to paint. The following weekend is The Rain Bird Gallery's Anniversary Show of the opening of the gallery. I will do a special painting for them as well. I need to update my website because there is a show in Dallas on September 12th at the Dutch Art Gal

I will NOT be painting today...at least it is not in the plans! I worked from four thirty a.m. yesterday until almost five last night. That was enough for me. Morgan came over and painted yesterday.

Tom from Wyoming, one of my collectors sent me a list of things he wanted to see me paint and this was the first one I tried....my Mountain Goat. I had such a joy painting him! He is climbing, one leg extended upward on a rock...full beard and lots of color filling in the white coat. Enjoy. This painting is available...just email me. We ate late last night up in Ponder. We had run to Penney's to do an exchange and then were going to eat...they were packed and
