"The richness I achieve comes from nature, the source of my inspiration."

-- Claude Monet

​

To a huge degree art is fueled by nature. Think of the cave paintings in France of horses, bulls and deer dating back more than 17,000 years ago. Our abilities to recreate what we see around us have only gotten better since those first paintings.  

There are famous paintings in all cultures that depict the beauty of the world around us. The wonder we feel as we walk in the natural world isn't a new feeling, artists continue to record their visions through different media.
