The Painting: This is from almost ten years ago. I came across the files and wanted to share it. We are in the season of Lent... in preparation for Easter and Christ's Resurrection.

The Thought: I do not know why I did not paint more in this series. I think I did three pieces. This seems to be the only one I can still find on disk. It was done well before the Mel Gibson Version of the Passion of the Christ. The pain depicted in the painting was even too much for the person I painted it for. They said it physically hurt to view it, but you know, maybe it should. It was definitely not a picnic type situation. The burden He bears for us is not light and could not be depicted that way either.

I enjoyed forming and painting the characters of each of the men and women surrounding Christ in this scene. I remember working on it for months before I was finished. Always in His time. Everything is in His time.

I am hoping with the move to do more pieces that reflect the power of Him in my life and my response to so many things in the bible. I love painting my horses and I will not stop that, I simply want to add to it.

When you feel or are inflected with this type of what seems to be unbearable pain in your life, what do you do? So much of our pain is brought directly to ourselves by ourselves. We often allow pain to enter our own world. Living in the present moment would possibly eliminate some of this. Live for right now...let tomorrow and yesterday go. Allow Him to carry your troubles and your pain. Focus strictly on this moment.

^"Then the governor's soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorian and gathered the whole company of soldiers around him. They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him, and then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on his head. They put a staff in his right hand and knelt in front of him and mocked him. "Hail, king of the Jews!" they said. They spit on him, and took the staff and struck him on the head again and again. After they had mocked him, they took off the robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him away to crucify him." Matthew 27: 27-31

Contact me to purchase: Laurie "This is the day that the Lord has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it". Psalm 118:24 It was a day of celebration yesterday as Lauren Gracen was born. Stacey began her labor around nine in the morning and was ready to push by 12:15, but they held her off while getting things set up. Took four good contractions with multiple pushes and the baby was there! All grandparents accounted for to count the toes and fingers! My admiration is for my daughter and her bravery and calmness despite the tension and newness of what she faced. I was honored to be there as the baby was delivered seeing my granddaughter push out into the light and take her first breathe... and then cry... and that she did. Terry was able to participate and he and Larry helped with pushing and getting Stacey upright for the process and then Terry was hon...

Arrival...Refrigerator?

© Laurie Pace Graphics One Design 2024 Arrival Oil on Canvas SOLD by Laurie Pace Proverbs 16:3 "Commit to the Lord whtever you do, and he will establish your plans." Worrisome times laced with prayers. The world seems like a scary place lately. Praying for everyone affected by the last two hurricanes. My adventures today were the result of a dead refrigerator. I have loved my Kitchen Aid refrigerator very much. The first one in the 'French Kitchen' look died at 13 months. Hubby wanted the same refrigerator. Well this one made it four years and a few months. I cannot believe appliances are not made to last longer...but wait, is that because they make more money if we have to replace it in 4-5 years? You replace your mattress at least every 7 years... and your washer dryer, you might get 7 years out of those... The stoves seem to make it closer to 10 years.
