As an artist it is important to realize (which I believe is true ) that all art originates from nature. 

In art artistic expressions  you will find the use of nature in Poetry ,Music, Paintings,Literature, Love Stories,Novels,  Movies and everyday life or even in a date... Why? Because we don't exist without nature. Even a baby arrives from Mother Nature beyond our control! Even though we see in nature beings , and all things , work in harmony, we don’t think it can become that way in human societies? This sadness is not only felt by you and me .But nature it self suffers under this. Nature has a heart. 

Consider the following description of our mental or spiritual relationship to nature: The human body, though consisting of matter, fully responds physiologically to the emotion, intellect and will of the human mind.

This demonstrates that matter has within itself elements which resonate with emotion, intellect and will - elements which constitute the internal nature of matter.

This is the reason all things in the universe respond to human emotion, intellect and will, albeit to different degrees. We become intoxicated with the beauty of the natural world and experience the rapture of mystical union.

This understanding gives painting a landscape greater depth.

It means nature has connection with our body and even our minds. When we look at nature with appreciation we feel blessed.

Our emotional experience may not need to realize that.

Thank you
