River Bank

24 x 30  Oil on Canvas  SOLD - Commissioned Painting. 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“The river flowed from century to century, and human affairs play themselves out on its banks. Play themselves out to be forgotten the next day, while the river flows on." Milan Kundera The Unbearable Lightness of Being

Do you ever worry about your personal safety?  Do you worry about your children, your adult kids, your grandchildren, your parents... do you fear that they could be hurt in some way? Do you believe Satan may be laying for you or your family?  Are you worried about this country with all the conflict in Washington?

God does not want us to feel that dread. 


It is a wide swing here from the river bank to false prophets or bad things happening... but the tie in for me is the swift moving current of the river that never stops... it continues its journey to the sea and water flows constantly. God flows constantly through us with the Holy Spirit... he is greater than those of this world on the river bank.  We are to armor up in life and walk that river next to him, or hop on a boat and travel with him. We are to be with him and believe in him and all he has given to us and provided for us in both times of need and times of want. God will protect us as we do battle. In Luke 10:19, God gives all of us the authority to trample on snakes, scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy.  Satan has come to steal and destroy us. With God at our side, it will simply not happen. 

John 4:4  You dear children, are from God and have overcome them (false prophets) because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.

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...
