Illinois — The art classes from Broadview Academy took a very special field trip to the studio of artist Nathan Greene. We were the first school group to have the honor of visiting his new studio. It was a trip that the students enjoyed very much and will undoubtedly not soon forget. One student described the experience this way:

"The wonders of God’s creation cause one to be speechless. The wonders of God’s sacrifice cause one to be humbled. These wonders are all combined in Nathan Greene’s paintings."

Our art class had the privilege of seeing, firsthand, God’s work through Nathan Greene. We were able to see his studio in Berrien Springs, Mich., where a good portion of his paintings are displayed. Though known around the globe, he wasn’t what we expected. Instead of reflecting an attitude of a world-famous painter, he reflected the meek attitude of the Master Artist.

He took us step by step through his world of color. Every picture had more than one story, which we were all delighted to hear. He was enthusiastic about his God.

We left after two hours, feeling blessed. Our minds were captivated in thought. We all had a better understanding of not only Greene's paintings, but the Subject within them, too.
