I think I can.... From early in life we seek approval and at the ...

I have it on vimeo, but they do not get the traffic that Youtube gets. I still like Vimeo the best but when you are building up marketing and preparing to paint paint paint... you have to get it all together, so yep, rising up with the coming cooler weather, sketching out of canvas paintings yet to come... just a sketch or thought as I plan out palettes and under foundations. May your weekend be filled with something extra special. Sha...

I have been tinkering and working on it this past week. http://Lauriepace.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Available Paintings by Laurie Pace  Follow me on Facebook           Sign up for my monthly studio newsletter. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Change is good they say. So this past week I have been tooling around with my website bringing into something to take into 2015.  The problem has been the tabs at the top. They look better white but guess what...white will not show up on a cell phone. DUH...so I am trying a mid blue. Design concepts and layouts tell me scream it out with red, but my inner spirit says BLUE baby blue.   There are quite a few new small paintings ...

I know I posted this sketch on canvas probably in June or July... and it sat in the studio. Today I picked it up and began slapping colors on the surface.  That is never enough, but it is a foundation and a start.  Wait till you see the finished painting tomorrow. The spirit that works through the knife in my ...
