I remember chasing fireflies at night running through her garden in the circle drive.  I remember playing in the rain and seeing rainbows as the sun burst through the clouds.   Summer seems more unpredictable than most seasons with our torrential rains, unexpected winds and tornadoes... they are left over from spring, but in summer they POP up out of

Available at Rare Gallery, Jackson Hole ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Available Paintings by Laurie Pace  Follow me on Facebook           Sign up for my monthly studio newsletter. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The wolf is part of nature, and nature is part of the wolf.  Together they survive giving to each other and living together.   With all my work with wolves, I like them to 'disappear' into the scene because of the unique relationship between the wolf and the world around them. This painting will be available at Rare Gallery in Jackson Hole.   "I am There" Poem by James DIllet Freeman "Do you need me? I am there. You cannot see me. Yet I am the light you see by. You

Rick and Hollee have asked me for tall vertical paintings of wolves, bison and horses in earth tones.  So I struggle NOT to paint like rainbow bright! "There are nights when the wolves are silent and only the moon howls." George Carlin I chose a wolf with a face fully turned and you will see tomorrow if you watch the slideshow of the paint itself how it evolved to this position in stead.  I slept on it, woke up and came into the studio and changed it all up!

God gifts each of us with what we need in life. We have to use those gifts or we lose them.  The quote I found today on people came from Maya Angelou. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did when I found it.  "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."  Maya Angelou The painting is one of my pulled people pieces and is available at Mirada Fine Art in Denver.

Henri Matisse What kind of energy do you put out in the world around you?  Do you ooze love, kindness, consideration, empathy...or do you ooze anger, stress, disgust and worry?  We are what we give out to others.  Our life and words reflect what is inside each of us.  Is it hard to reflect harmony if you are upset with the world? Yes it is. You cannot be

It is on sale for $399.  It will require a frame, it is painted on a panel with beautiful thick paint.  The story felt when being painted, was one of finally feeling at 'home' in the house we moved to two and a half years ago.  It always takes a period of time to adjust to a new place and we were really feeling the joy when I painted this one.   I love this quote I found so very much, I may have to use it in my newsletter.  "Love begins at home, and it is not how much we do... but how

This is a color palette I have not ever used before. How many racing horses can you find?     How many colors can you find? The colors, riders and horses are unlimited. Your life and opportunities are unlimited. So much is open around you to be apart of life. Giving and living should be the mantra this summer. Are you ready to do it with me?
