SEE NOTE

A PENCIL DRAWING 1984, A CLOSE UP COMPOSITION OF A "C" NOTE ON A Clarinet. Reflective Theme. My Art Teacher Mr. Evans and a few others used to say... Art was like music! It is a series of notes in melodic line upon line...swirling strings of beauty...pearls that shine every where. They asked... What is ART?...is it not every where in all things? I wish it were. For Art is love and should be beauty. Yes! But I do not see love in all things as I wish it were so...also in me. I turn on the news and know that hate is in our world and war and fail then to see art in all things...It makes me so sad that we can not learn to live in peace. We can not even find it in ourselves some days...Well, this is just a drawing of the forms of a clarinet...once played by a girl I knew that loved beauty and art and music. Here is to art, love and music in all things and Peace and truth of the highest heavens...May ART be in all things the harmoney we hear within our souls...Embrace all goodness in a song. Thank you for taking the time to view my pages. Sincerely Christine

great effect with pencil! Good idea to have a very close up of something you ussuaky don't pay so much attention to...and after that you cann play "guess what it is".

How great, Christine, especially that you have kept it from 1984!!!

Pat Quinn 13 Jul 2006

Pencil work of the highest beauty Christine! and yes I agree why haven't we all learned that violence begets violence from two people having a disagreement all the way up to two or more countrys.

Hassan Pasha 13 Jul 2006

Art is Music ... what we draw or design are like the tunes flowing out of a musical instrument, what we write in poem or prose is again like music coming from an instrument, and nothing touches the soul more than the music, my friend your art is one of those that touches the soul, you truly are a musician, playing the tune that captures our minds and soul, BRAVO !

Norma Nava 13 Jul 2006

Everything what the soul produces is art. The beauty also reaches to the good actions, the good thoughts and the beautiful words. What kills or destroys is not good, advisable, worthy, constructive, nor beautiful. It either does not have that so necessary music for the ears of most of the sensible and simple beings that they live peacefully to be able to enjoy all the beautiful one who the life gives. TO WANT WHAT ONE BECOMES And TO DO WHAT IT IS WANTED. This work yours, Christine, is a love act that I am thankful to you.
