Sold ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Available Paintings by Laurie Pace  Follow me on Facebook           Sign up for my monthly studio newsletter. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- “No winter lasts forever; no spring skips its turn.” Hal Borland This was the 'second' paint of this wolf in this position but definitely with a change in colors and feeling.  When I saw this one, I was thinking, WOW...and yes I love the freedom in the paint.   Somewhere in my journey the last two years, the joy has slowly left in painting for galleries. Every gallery wants something different.  Just like no winter lasts forever, creativity cannot just stop. ...

He is working on us to be stronger and more God like.  Each storm we encounter contains new challenges we have never met.  Survival is always foremost and we gain in knowledge how to steer through the next one.

R. Martin "A Game of Thrones" This photo does not do this painting justice... it was deep and wild at the same time. It sold immediately, but my mind perhaps remembers a different emotion to the piece looking at this saved photo.

There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I fall in. I am lost... I am helpless. It isn't my fault. It takes forever to find a way out. I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I pretend I don't see it. I fall in again. I can't believe I am in the same place. But, it isn't my fault. It still takes me a long time to get out. I walk down th...
