Mapping the Word

Fun on the iPad!

Numbers 6:24-26 The Lord Bless and keep you; then Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.”

I had such fun doing this horse about 6 years ago.  I am still a bit under the weather and I may start trying out more things on my iPad.  

Yesterday I was working in my Verse Mapping Journal. I found it on Facebook.  While I am not a fan of Facebook and all their ads, with this mapping journal,  I am learning more about the fullness of every verse in the Bible through the mapping process.  I was surprised to find websites that break each verse down and help you along the way. I love the in-depth research and all the similar verses in the Bible. This slows you down and enables you to see things you might have missed. Then you research the times and places when this was written giving a fuller comprehensive story, and noting who wrote it.

The next sections in this journey take you through verses in other places of the Bible that mirror in meaning, then one section on what the verse says about God, one on what the verse means to man, and then how it applies in your life.  The last section is a prayer you write applying it to your life. 

Switch this to art.  Mapping a painting. Art has tangled stories, color, and more.  Compare this to life, to jobs, to friends and family.  There are small pieces of threads that tie things together and are often found woven through out your life, your experiences, including inside your home, your color choices, your furniture, your clothes, what you read and the people you know.  This influences what you create on that canvas. 
We all are invested in our lives, jobs, families and more. I want you to add more. Invest in the Lord and his Holy Word.

 Psalm 27:1  is exactly where I would send you, with knowledge, goodness, truth and light to start with. Then add safety, harbor and strong hold.  God provides it. If you can save a small allotment of time early morning as you wake up, find a Bible app you like and start there. Look up this verse on your iPhone, your computer or in your Bible.

Mixed Media Collage Horse Paintings by Texas Artist Laurie Justus Pace

  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013 Horse Collage Fall 2013  12 x 18 inches Mixed Media on Canvas.  This was an intentional paint to imitate one of the 100 ponies I did in 2012. That poor little 8 x 10 pony was loved by a company to do very large prints and it was not here for me to even use to scan... so I created something with the same heart, a kindred spirit. The underlays are pages from a western book and then torn papers of different varieties were added along with stains of paint and purposeful areas of paint.  This would not be a painting I would do today, but the goal was to capture the spirit of the first painting. This is available for purchase. Please click here  to see pricing and painting. Laurie Pace A Texas Artist Pace Studio  Graphics One Design My Blog          My Website          Gicl...

EXHAUSTED Woman Figurative Oil Painting, Art Deco Painting, Art Abstract Painting, Women in Kitchen Oil Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

'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...
