Meet Sid... lots of color and layers of paint.    Sid is the wise guy. He is not distracted by all the commotion around him. He has his eyes set on one destination and he is going there with or without the pack.    You can s...

These wolves are waking up to do their nightly prowl. Just leaving the edge of the forest, their different personalities emerge as I paint. Most of my wolf paintings are 24 x 36 unless they are commissions. Then it is the size the collector wants painted.  I have not ever painted on for a gallery this size. It is 24 x 48 inches. With each of these paintings come the general wolf pack and each wolf in the pack has...

When I finish a painting I usually have that 'feeling' that I have nailed it.  If there is any doubt, I always take that step to make it into something else that does give me that sense of comp...

It can turn a dry parched field to green with flourishing vegetation.  What do you think it can do to your life?  Wouldn't you like new inspirations and a new perspective for life? We are blessed daily by prayers, smiles, nature, music, literature and...

The lakes were down up to 24 ft, some even lower, and now all but I believe two in our area are full. OVER full. They have even opened some of the flood gates to release water from a nearby lake creating more flooding in our county.  We have all steadily prayed for the end of our drought. I do believe our prayers are answered and with extra rain still coming down.   I use to paint sunflowers all the time and this was a small one but the image ...

Available through Rare Gallery Jackson Hole ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Available Paintings by Laurie Pace  Follow me on Facebook           Sign up for my monthly studio newsletter. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yes, this is the same painting. No, I did not scrap the canvas clean. Terry offered to take it outside and wash it down but I chose to keep what was there and go forward. It is no different than God does with us I guess. We often get ourselves into situations that need saving all the time. This was no different. He doesn't always 'scrap' us to nothing and rebuild us either. We grow from our experiences and they are part of who we a...

Sold ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Available Paintings by Laurie Pace  Follow me on Facebook           Sign up for my monthly studio newsletter. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Finished.  Painting was drying. Slide show took me almost two days to finish it... sent the painting image out to two galleries needing work... WHAM.... Being an artist often leaves you vulnerable to comments. When you paint from the inner heart and spirit of your soul it leaves its energy and mark on the painting.  This one was a dear journey for me. I have struggled with wanting to even paint lately. We call it 'hitting the wall in the studio' with your head, not your pa...

That is exactly what happened with this painting.  I had a phenomenal time painting t...
