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.

A Bit of Wonder Contemporary Horse Oil Daily Painting Art by Laurie Justus Pace 24 x 30 x 2 inches of thick buttery oils! Contact me to purchase: Laurie "This is the day that the Lord has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it". Psalm 118:24 It was a day of celebration yesterday as Lauren Gracen was born. Stacey began her labor around nine in the morning and was ready to push by 12:15, but they held her off while getting things set up. Took four good contractions with multiple pushes and the baby was there! All grandparents accounted for to count the toes and fingers! My admiration is for my daughter and her bravery and calmness despite the tension and newness of what she faced. I was honored to be there as the baby was delivered seeing my granddaughter push out into the light and take her first breathe... and then cry... and that she did. Terry was able to participate and he and Larry helped with pushing and getting Stacey upright for the process and then Terry was hon...

Arrival...Refrigerator?

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 Arrival Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Proverbs 16:3 "Commit to the Lord whtever you do, and he will establish your plans."   Worrisome times laced with prayers.   The world seems like a scary place lately. Praying for everyone affected by the last two hurricanes.  My adventures today were the result of a dead refrigerator. I have loved my Kitchen Aid refrigerator very much. The first one in the 'French Kitchen' look died at 13 months. Hubby wanted the same refrigerator. Well this one made it four years and a few months. I cannot believe appliances are not made to last longer...but wait, is that because they make more money if we have to replace it in 4-5 years?  You replace your mattress at least every 7 years... and your washer dryer, you might get 7 years out of those... The stoves seem to make it closer to 10 years. We are Lowe's customers, and Robert ...
