What is the BEST thing that has happened in your life?
Well hi there, I am Gene a VietNam Era veteran and now making stretched canvas wall decor to brighten the corner where you are. Each piece is a painting , a Giclee print, or a photo I have done to honor the Lord and bring a measure of peace to your home or workplace.
People tell me the best thing is their loving spouse, or their children . One young man said the best thing for him was being born ! What a great answer.
Has your fear of failure kept you from pursuing a dream?
You can do amazing! Ask God to give you the boldness to overcome your quite natural fears. Each piece I do comes on a canvas stretched over a solid wood frame ranging in sizes up to 24 by 36 inches. This picture of the Split Rock lighthouse is a small example of overcoming fear. I took this pic but the sky was bland and boring. So I wondered if I could replace the sky with another sky pic I had. With help from a photo shop type app, I was able to combine the two, but alas there were some weird little lines in the sky. As I go through each day I ask the Lord to show me how to do things and not listen to that small voice inside that says."oh I could never do that" I was able to fix the problem, see below.
Explore Lake Superior and Duluth Minnesota!!
I especially like to feature the Lake Superior and Duluth ship canal pictures and paintings. Having been born and raised in Duluth where as a boy I often rode my bicycle to Leif Erickson Park or Canal Park, I am always inspired by the natural beauty and fun places to explore in Duluth MInnesota. In 2021 my wife and I visited Israel and I took this cell phone pic of the sea of Galilee which I am using as background for my Splitrock cell phone pic.
What is the very best thing to have happened in My life?
What is the very Best thing to have happened in My life?
Glad you asked!
As a boy in the 50s and 60s I had Attention Deficit Syndrome but no one knew what that was. My teachers called me a daydreamer because I could not stay focused very long. At a summer camp I was told all humans were flawed (sinners) and I needed to ask the Lord to come live in my heart and be my forgiving guide. So I asked and He Did! His loving guidance has been the single bestest thing ever in my life!
The hidden trademark
Each of my acrylic works has a small cross hidden somewhere in the painting. Can you find it on this one? And also i place an uplifting verse or saying on the backside of the canvas such as:
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He WILL direct your paths.. Proverbs 3 :5+6
Peace of heart!
Peace of heart!
What prevents you from telling God that you have indeed sinned but that you are sorry and would He forgive you and come be your guide and Lord and still the storms in your life with His peace like in this painting?
“Lord Jesus, I am tired of being my own Lord, if you are real be real to me ,I give you permission to come inside my heart and be my Lord” Amen
