"Rivers know this: there is no hurry. We shall get there someday." A. a. Milne Winnie the Pooh

Feeling the blue... and the cool of the river and the warmth of the day all in the same sweep of the eyes. This double panel was painted in about 2005 and still remains one of my favorite. Always working in odd numbers, the horses number 9. All total 18 with the reflections. Filled with peace and my favorite colors, I could see something similar to this piece painted on a very large scale... maybe 12 feet wide.  I want to float on the water with them... to even swim with them.

"He leads me beside quiet waters."  Psalm 23:2   

Throughout scripture you find God as the living water.  Quiet waters are not rushing rivers that crash through the rocks and shores.  Quiet waters are not full of contamination and filth... they remain glassy and clear, reflective waters that require nothing of us to enjoy. Quiet waters is just like God's grace.. .it is free, requires nothing on our part to receive it. 

The "He leads me" part is deliberate in the interpretation. It means literally "He is careful when leading me." The action is showing a given care from God directly involved to make life quiet for you.  

You are loved. You are Safe and You are provided for by Him. 

John 4:14 "Whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst." Jesus informed the Samaritan woman. "indeed, the water I gave him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life."

'Exhausted' 24 x 24  Oil on Canvas Contact me to purchase by check or paypal. Laurie     © Laurie Justus Pace     Graphics One Design 2010 My Website   Thinking ahead to the Thanksgiving celebration next week, I remembered back to those previous dinners that I cooked, served, ate quickly, and cleaned up.  This is how I felt.  It is probably strange...even for me but I had the best fun sketching it out and painting it. We lost another dear family member this week. She has celebrated her 'continuation' day and is now with her mom and dad and her other cousins.  She leaves behind a family that will always celebrate her gentleness.  My aunt was special to all of us. She loved each of us dearly for who we were and was always ready with a hug or a 'good job'.    My memories are of breakfast pastries smeared with butter on top. It was not like they were not sweet enough as they were, but at her small kitch...

Sleeping Cowboy . Ernest Hemingway . Sunday, a day of rest . Western Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

   © +Laurie Pace         Graphics One Design 2019 Sleeping Cowboy Commissioned Painting for one of our oldest friends. 2004  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOLLOW MY BLOG  ON INSTAGRAM     @lauriepaceblog Available Paintings by Laurie Pace          “I love sleep. My life has the tendency to fall apart when I'm awake, you know?” Ernest Hemingway  I really enjoyed painting this scene. It was restful to me as the artist  and loved by our friends.  Sunday is the day of rest. I smiled when I found this in archives and thought it perfect for this day.  If you live in Texas you know that we still have 'rules' about not selling liquor before noon.  If you live in Texas and are in your late thirties and up, you might even remember Blue Laws.   Stores were simply NOT open...
