'The Violinist'
15 x 30 Mixed Medium on Canvas
Another stunning music piece. This one is a violinist of the gentlest kind. The music is from Great Grand-daddy Haskell's collection.
The Thought: I remember the first violin I ever saw...but I don't remember the first one I ever heard. The voice of a violin is incredibly different. The strings that sing so sweetly emulate the most beautiful sounds of the human voice. Yet for me they are even better: the ease of the melody sliding and swiftly moving, out plays the ability of the human voice. There is no way the human voice could match the dancing tones and levels of the strings of the violin in motion.
God's grace is the sweet melody offered to each of us. It emulates His strength and power in every note. Our lives are so busy with our own sounds and voices we often neglect to stop and listen for His notes playing through out our day. It is not our song to perform alone, as we are nothing without Him. Our sounds are ugly and raw, often filled with need, jealousy and competition. He refuses to compete with us by overpowering us, as He knows we will do it to ourselves. We always do.
If you want to read about "Life at the Lake" visit my new blog, Retired On Golden Pond. It will take me a few days to get it cranked up, but here I will build the story of our life as it has changed in so many ways. Somethings might get posted here, but I will concentrate on the more personal things there. I will give this a try at least. Something new and something tugging at my heart.
