Creation of Water Lilies

Note from the artist Lana Shea:

“Creation of Water Lilies” is a watercolor inspired by the beautiful water lilies in our backyard pond in Ankeny, Iowa.

These incredible beauties grow from under the water and unfold each day with the morning sun and close each evening. Their circular leaves spread out over the pond shading the grateful fish below.

I wonder how it was to see the first water lilies at the time of creation when the building blocks of each cell were brought together and given life by the most marvelous artist of all time, The Almighty God.

From Genesis 1:11-12 the Bible says, "And God said, Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants... And God saw that it was good.
