George RR Martin, A Game of Thrones These babies are beginning to form their personalities here.  Originally I thought the middle one would pull forward the strongest but that is not happening.  Which do you see as leading the trio? Sometimes the strongest personality makes the weakest leader. When we look back at life and think about strong leadership, it is often the quieter thinker that is firm and direct with the approach to a situation and not the loud boist

It simply was. Fierce and free as the wolf within me.” ― Andrea Cremer, Bloodrose Yes, I know... this is not the normal fierce wolf... but rather that soft baby wolf look with the soft first year fur and the unsuspecting eyes. I truly enjoyed the experience painting this with brush on the beautiful birch surface.  As you know from the progress shots I was not happy with the bright colors but yet still wanting some of the highlights bleeding through and I think I was successful for what my mind's eye and heart wanted

In life you often make snap decisions.  Somet

Saturdays are busy... still in preparation for celebrating the first arrival of Jesus Christ to the earth. Every morning we light our candles in our wreath and spend time in God's word seeking his strength and guidance during this time.  The still silence of night often brings the opportun

Available at Rare Gallery, Jackson Hole ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Available Paintings by Laurie Pace  Follow me on Facebook           Sign up for my monthly studio newsletter. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The wolf is part of nature, and nature is part of the wolf.  Together they survive giving to each other and living together.   With all my work with wolves, I like them to 'disappear' into the scene because of the unique relationship between the wolf and the world around them. This painting will be available at Rare Gallery in Jackson Hole.   "I am There" Poem by James DIllet Freeman "Do you need me? I am there. You cannot see me. Yet I am the light you see by. You

Rick and Hollee have asked me for tall vertical paintings of wolves, bison and horses in earth tones.  So I struggle NOT to paint like rainbow bright! "There are nights when the wolves are silent and only the moon howls." George Carlin I chose a wolf with a face fully turned and you will see tomorrow if you watch the slideshow of the paint itself how it evolved to this position in stead.  I slept on it, woke up and came into the studio and changed it all up!

How clearly they see opportunity. Wonder if there are nearsighted wolves?  Sometimes how well we see goes beyond the quality of our eyesight. The clarity of our vision is affected by the faith we have and our ability to look beyond appearances.  While our eyes see only the images of the material world surrounding us, our mind's eye recalls past happenings, analyzing it all and comparing past and present situations. Our spiritual vision will see God in every person and in every situation. Through our spiritual vision we can

New Art Show opening at Dutch Art in Dallas . Wolf Painting  Later this month I am excited about returning to the Lake Highlands area of Dallas for an art show with three other women.  It is the Colors of Lake Highlands.  While I wish there had been more lead in time to create new paintings, I do have six or seven debuting in the show. The Wolves will be there along with flowers and horses and even a bowl of fruit.  I will be there too. More details will be later in the month on time of the reception and opening. Every morning we are g
