Genesis 1:21

So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living thing with which the water teems and that moves about in it, according to their kinds, and every wingéd bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.

Honor the physical reality in this image—everything we can see, as well as hidden things like birds in trees, insects on tree bark, microorganisms in the earth and water. Listen as wind ripples leaves. Feel the swift current on cold feet.

Consider what is good to God.

*Meg West lives near Charlottesville, Virginia, delighting others with her plein air oil paintings since 2000. Her landscapes depict scenes throughout the Shenandoah Valley, as well as Skyline Drive, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and beyond. “I enjoy the rhythm and momentum that comes with a steady flow of painting,” she wrote. “We went to Sugar Hollow this morning and David hiked to the waterfalls and I stood in the water and painted,” a unique way to celebrate their 41st wedding anniversary.
