Wildlife Wolf Painting WISE ONE by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

Wise One Finished! Well, maybe...

I have left Wise One Wolf Painting on the easel to dry and sent images to my galleries. Also gave options if I black out the background which is what 
most of my past wolves have had. See images below.
36 x 36 inches Oil on Canvas
Available...email me: Laurie



With a black background? or gray?  I think it is fine..but who knows....

                      

 This is the original sketch from my sketch book that I painted from... free hand sketching done while TP and I are sitting together at night in the den. He is usually watching TV and I am painting or sketching.


 This is WISE ONE in the studio on the easel.

NIGHT POWER was my first wolf painting back in 2007 I believe. It is with a collector in California. It has that powerful black background.


Following the Path

Staying focused is not always possible when one multi-tasks as much as I do. Once I begin a painting and the music is on, I am focused. The energy from the music and the brilliance of colors building on the canvas...it keeps me pumped and working in joyful abandonment.  I forget and leave behind me all my stress and troubles and I simply paint.   I never doubt the path I am on because I am trusting in God's touch flowing through me to the canvas.  Often there are amazing results and occasionally I go HUH?

Staying on track I pray on and off while I work, often murmuring "Okay Lord, this is you working and not me"  I try to stay totally open to new ways to see the piece as it develops.  My final test is in photoshop when I look at the image in reverse. I know then if I am truly on the right path if the image holds up in reverse. That is where everything looks new from a different perspective. You can see where your values work and do not work. You note where balance or perspective is off... seeing things from a different angle always helps.

In life it is true God is directing you around obstacles that might normally take you down or on a path you should not go. Listen to the small voice inside of you. It is Him talking.  Give good to others along the way and be blessed to be a blessing.

Mixed Media Collage Horse Paintings by Texas Artist Laurie Justus Pace

  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013 Horse Collage Fall 2013  12 x 18 inches Mixed Media on Canvas.  This was an intentional paint to imitate one of the 100 ponies I did in 2012. That poor little 8 x 10 pony was loved by a company to do very large prints and it was not here for me to even use to scan... so I created something with the same heart, a kindred spirit. The underlays are pages from a western book and then torn papers of different varieties were added along with stains of paint and purposeful areas of paint.  This would not be a painting I would do today, but the goal was to capture the spirit of the first painting.

EXHAUSTED Woman Figurative Oil Painting, Art Deco Painting, Art Abstract Painting, Women in Kitchen Oil Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

'Exhausted' 24 x 24  Oil on Canvas Contact me to purchase by check or paypal. Laurie     © Laurie Justus Pace     Graphics One Design 2010 My Website   Thinking ahead to the Thanksgiving celebration next week, I remembered back to those previous dinners that I cooked, served, ate quickly, and cleaned up.  This is how I felt.  It is probably strange...even for me but I had the best fun sketching it out and painting it. We lost another dear family member this week. She has celebrated her 'continuation' day and is now with her mom and dad and her other cousins.  She leaves behind a family that will always celebrate her gentleness.  My aunt was special to all of us. She loved each of us dearly for who we were and was always ready with a hug or a 'good job'.    My memories are of breakfast pastries smeared with butter on top. It was not like they were not sweet enough as they were, but at her small kitch...

Sleeping Cowboy . Ernest Hemingway . Sunday, a day of rest . Western Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

   © +Laurie Pace         Graphics One Design 2019 Sleeping Cowboy Commissioned Painting for one of our oldest friends. 2004  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOLLOW MY BLOG  ON INSTAGRAM     @lauriepaceblog Available Paintings by Laurie Pace          “I love sleep. My life has the tendency to fall apart when I'm awake, you know?” Ernest Hemingway  I really enjoyed painting this scene. It was restful to me as the artist  and loved by our friends.  Sunday is the day of rest. I smiled when I found this in archives and thought it perfect for this day.  If you live in Texas you know that we still have 'rules' about not selling liquor before noon.  If you live in Texas and are in your late thirties and up, you might even remember Blue Laws.   Stores were simply NOT open...
