Shadows
Oil on Canvas  by Laurie Pace  


This precious painting entitled Shadows was packed up and recently found. It truly needs a home, but not sure it would call to many readers. This was painted in 2004. We had our 4 year old grandson living with us and most likely He was on the beautiful back porch eating  when I took a photo of him but used it in a dramatic way. Hanging out on my easel right now and I am enjoying the solitude. I will eventually put it on my website for sale.

Hebrews 13: 5-6  "Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said,
“Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.”
So we say with confidence, The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid.   What can mere mortals do to me?”

I think most of us have a need for money... it pays the bills and feeds us. Yet too often, it is entangled with materialism and greed and more.  God truly wants us to be content with what we have and be thankful for it.  

He promises us "Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you." This is echoed from through the Old Testament. God is consistent. 

As I have grown older, I have studied deeper into scripture and grown solid in my faith.  I have never wanted for a big home, or expensive cars or expensive clothes. We have decluttered things from our home to lessen our footprint and I donate it all the time, adding more to a drop off to Good Will.  My moment by moment mantra is this thought from God, "I will never leave you or forsake you."

'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...

   © +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...
