Morning in the Tropics

( Click on painting to see detail.)
Frederick Church was a artist from the Hudson River School of American landscape painters. He lived from 1826-1900.
Does this painting move you to glorify God? If so, in what ways? Do you enjoy it?
Keep in mind, this is a classic work, painted by a master artist. It is not on trial. You, the observer are the one being tested!
Painting by Frederick Church courtesy of National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C., USA.

"I believe in Christianity as I believe the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it, I see everything else."

This painting wonderfully captures the radiance of the sun, illuminating His glorious creation. Even in the most remote tropical jungle, there is no place His glory fails to permeate.
