Yesterday the Later Day Saints at Otter went on a "mini art crawl." We visited the Richland Gallery in Green Hills to see the offerings of current Nashville artists as well at those from other places. Then as we ate, Paula Frisby, one of several professional artists at Otter, showed the technique she uses when beginning a canvas called "laying in".
I was struck not only by the beauty and skill I saw, but also at the effect the art had on us as viewers.
What is it about beautiful things that moves us? I think it is a irrepressible urge to praise God the Creator. The Creator, who at the end of each day of creation, stood back, looked and said, "That's Good!" (Even the on the day he created humankind).
