For the past two weeks I have battled an allergic reaction to dust and dust mite residue in one of the rooms Terry was storing model boxes in. He had opened up and emptied the room into two other rooms upstairs, spreading the "joy".  You can compound that with t...

Laurie Pace ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Available Paintings by Laurie Pace  Follow me on Facebook           Sign up for my monthly studio newsletter. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Proceed with care... you never know what is lurking in the woods!  Seriously I just finished this painting last week and took images of it while it was still wet, so this is a bit blurry I am sure.  This is one of my wildlife wolf paintings done in the same style as my painted pony pulls.  I actually started it as a commission in late December; I only do a few of these each year and most sell from my galleries.  As I began the painting, things changed for the collector; I ...

Painting Begins ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Available Paintings by Laurie Pace  Follow me on Facebook           Sign up for my monthly studio newsletter. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So finally after moving the studio, painting begins again.  Lady L is thrilled to be back at her easel and quickly chose the pink flower she wanted to paint this time.  I have not told her yet she cannot paint all pink flowers.  God created them in all colors, not just pink.   We are both thankful you are stopping by to read about our day in the studio. They seem to be rare and one of my hopes is to share more time with Lady L here. She has a new baby sister due to arr...

   © +Laurie Pace         Graphics One Design 2015 Sparking.... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Available Paintings by Laurie Pace  Follow me on Facebook           Sign up for my monthly studio newsletter. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well Lady L and I are just 'sparking' away.  She giggled over all the sketches and images from last week.  She wanted to do some of her own and she did. We did zebras, horses, swans, kittens and giraffes.  The idea with this lesson it not to pick up your pencil from the paper until you are done. I call those 'one liners' . Very similar for me to contour drawing as well where you touch and draw but do not look at the paper and you do not lift your pencil. Lady L is only five, soon to be six and she loves drawin...

I did maybe six or eight pop pieces of art that year.  A hair dresser fell in love with this piece and as far as I know it is still happily living in the midst of hairspray and laughing clients in upper state New York. "Times they are a Changin." A blast from the past, but oh so current. After all these years (Terry and I met when I was 11... that was 50 years ago), Terry...

Oil on Canvas ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Available Paintings by Laurie Pace  Follow me on Facebook           Sign up for my monthly studio newsletter. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have to take a step backwards to 2014 and the last week of the year. I was in the midst of trying to get something shipped to the La Jolla Gallery. I did ship out two black and white pieces painted in November but Liz wanted some larger pieces.   What you see above it the finished piece.  What you see below is part of the paintful process. I am sure God just shakes his head at most of us and our constant antics in life. Heck, my own husband shakes his...
