These images are from a series of eleven paintings entitled “Landscape of the Psalms”, presented to the Cathedral for the children’s classrooms. While they were designed for their meditative interest, the connection between nature and growth make them applicable to the theme. Water, sun and soil all play a part in growth and are analogous to our need to be nourished if we are to grow spiritually.
