Laurie Pace - Fine Artist

Base Coat Blue Hills 40 x 40 inches This is the beginning or actually the second step after sketching on the canvas. It truly did not matter what colors I used in blocking right now..and these are NOT the colors you will see once I begin knifing my paint onto the surface.  This basically covers up the white already primed canvas with some colors. Progress will be shown tomorrow. ©Laurie Pace    Graphics One Design 1998-2012  Contact me for your own commissioned painting or to purchase this piece: Laurie      Joyfully Existing in life from day to day, working to live makes it hard in a way To stop and take a breath, to look around and see the joy that can now be found.

STONE BRIDGE Central Park New York 18 X 27 inches Oil on Gallery Wrapped Canvas A Painting a Day Thursday is dawning. This painting was finished up on Tuesday. It is the fourth in my Central Park New York Series. This series is painted with a palette knife and the paint is layered in about five layers and is very very thick. Dreams and visions.
