What do all of these customs have in common?
Nature is my biggest inspiration for art because of the beauty I see in it. God’s creation inspires me everyday to create. Spending hours, days, weeks, and even months painting these details makes me appreciate every petal, shape, color, feather, vein, and line even more. The Creator of every stunning sunset and every peaceful petal created me and you for His glory (Isaiah 43:7).
We are attracted to beauty because it whispers truths such as peace that we all need more of in life. Beauty is evidence of a Creator who is merciful, gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love (Psalm 86:15). If we can only see glimpses of God through the temporary beauty in this world, just think of all that we cannot see that will last forever (2 Corinthians 2:18).
Whatever you do, do it to the glory of God (1 Corinthians 10:31). I am thankful that I can use my God-given talents to add beauty to others lives. So, of course I get a little extra excited when a client describes a design involving nature!
