For the beauty of each hour of the day and of the night, hill and vale, and tree and flower, sun and moon, and stars of light; Lord of all, to thee we raise this our hymn of grateful praise.

-Conrad Cocher, 1838

This is my visual hymn, a celebration of the beauty of the simple but wonderful things of God. Using a photo supplied by Amie Gillingham on the EBSQ reference photo forum, I created this oil painting to revel in the humble majesty of nature.
