Music and Art

Listening to the piano and violin in Arvo Part's Tabula Rasa was the inspiration for the sunflower close-up, an assignment in art class to create a drawing based on another medium.  The quicker drawings of live models, done in class, were aided by a great selection of CDs playing in the background.  Art can be inspired by music and music can be inspired by art, in a beautiful synchronicity.
