Contemporary Wolf Painting in Progress by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

     © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013 Contemporary Wolf Painting 24 x 36 inches Oil on Canvas.  I really like it like it is.  I love the intense blues and the background colors gently coming through.  So by now you know this is not a horse painting. One of my wolf pieces sold and I was asked to paint another one similar. I always worry about the spirit of a painting when I am trying to capture a certain feeling and this one is truly developing it's own depth. Luke 6:36-38 - Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.  And do not judge and you will not be judged; and do not condemn, and you will not be condemned; pardon, and you will be pardoned.  Give and it will be given to you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, they will pour into your lap.  For by your standard of measure it will be measured to you in return.

Most of these paintings are sold through RareGalleryJacksonHole.com May 18, 2012 The tree is falling.  When we moved here two years ago in the early spring, we did not realize the largest oak tree at the top of our hill overlooking the lake was deceased. Two months later we were devastated to know we had to remove the tree. Terry put it off for two years but this spring the huge limbs began crashing down to the earth below with loud echoes through the forest and a tremble to the ground.  He readied the chain saw this spring and wisely knew it was more than one man could handle. There is a crew of men coming today to begin taking down this tree. Tw

Values and Contrast Snake River Wolf Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

Wolves of Snake River in Progress By Texas Artist Laurie Pace    32 x 40 inches Oil on Canvas   This is a commissioned painting of my signature pull painting done with wolves. Most of these paintings are sold through RareGalleryJacksonHole.com May 17, 2012 As an artist I am aware of the need for contrast.  If we did not have values in our drawings and paintings, we would lose depth in the piece of work. Same is true for our lives. We have values in our lives. One cannot know love without having experienced hate. One cannot know acceptance without having endured rejection. One cannot know joy without trudging through pain. One cannot know laughter without crying tears. One cannot enjoy success without knowing failure. All we face in life that seems to be confrontational or destructive truly is pa

Wildlife Painting THE WOLF, Wolf Painting by Texas Contemporary Artist Laurie Pace, Little Red Riding Hood, Grandmother and the Closet

The Wolf 5 x 7 inches Oil on Clayboard  ©Laurie Pace  Graphics One Design 1998-2011    Wolves and Closets When I think of wolves it is generally in terms of Little Red Riding Hood and that awful story of her grandmother getting tied up or eaten by the wolf.  Different versions are heard in different families.  I prefer the one where grandmother is tied up in the closet and the wolf jumps in bed wearing her sleep bonnet and nightgown.  Grandmother must have been cold in the closet. When we stay hidden in closets we miss out much on life.  It is much the same as staying in the box, aka the comfort zone. I cannot begin to tell you how much you miss in your closet, or your box. Some folks never move from their 'boxes'. Well, maybe for a day trip or a week trip, but they come right back to the box and neatly keep their life in control. Life has taught me well. I know I have no control. Only God has control. I believe my early days of my twenties and my severe bouts of ag

Return of the Wolf Pack The Rare Gallery Jackson Hole, WY, Abstract Wildlife Oil Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

Return of the Wolf Pack with The Rare Gallery in Jackson Hole . ©Laurie Pace  Rare Gallery   2011       Inner Peace Some how this morning my inner peace is a bit stressed. For some reason on my big Mac in the study, I cannot load images onto my blog. I can do it with my laptop, but there is no fun or gain in doing that everyday working off two computers. It will grow old.  Why does it all work on the lap top and not on the big Mac? The next thing that shakes my inner peace is my Mac Mail. talk about scrambled eggs. My new incoming mail appears in my trash mail on my mac. I have to watch both places now. This occurred this weekend after I cleaned out 15mb of email.  Wish I knew but I do not. After much searching on the Mac Forum I did receive some positive suggestions and I have gone back in and adjusted a few things... so I am praying for a fix this morning. True Inner Peace will be restored by simple silence and reconnecting to God and his steady assurance. A good mantra w

Wolf Wildlife Oil Painting WISE ONE by Texas Contemporary Wildlife Artist Laurie Pace

WISE ONE Beautiful Wolf Painting with expressive wide brush and thick paint. This will go with my collection of wolf pieces I have been working on this summer.  Each of them in a different style. Available.   Email Me. 3 ft by 3 ft  Oil on Canvas        © Laurie Pace   Graphics One Design 1998-2011 LOVE When I was a teen I consulted my Grandmother on happiness.  It was not that I was an unhappy teen, but somehow I felt something missing in my life.  She would hug me and say happiness is like a butterfly. You can go chasing it but you will never catch it.  Happiness lands on you when you least expect it. For Lady L that was falling asleep while reading her book, "I LOVE YOU THROUGH AND THROUGH". So then I think of life in general and what most of us want is acceptance. Acceptance for who we are right now in life. We all want love; we all go searching for love with that acceptance.  My grandmother would tell me it was like a butterfly as well, elusive to my s

Big Wolf 30 x 40 inches  Oil on Canvas  Available: Laurie         ©Laurie Pace   Graphics One Design 1998-2011 He Follows You I finished up this wolf painting yesterday and enjoyed the results of my labor. Terry complained that the eyes of the wolf followed him around the room. The best part was when Paddy came in and lowered himself in a stance and began growling at it.  I knew I was done then.  Those brilliant eyes... they seem to capture you and follow you where ever you go. God follows you where ever you go as well.  His essence or spirit is within you, abiding within to empower you for God's good.  God knows what you will think before the thought even blooms in your head.  He knows what you need before you even realize it.  He does not really just follow you...rather He is leading you. You must be ready to follow Him. This weekend is the wine festival and Mayfair Art show here in Mt Vernon.  I am suppose to be in town but waiting to see how Terry is feeling.
