Music and the Visual Arts are a powerful pair. They work together to evoke feelings, mood and emotion. I found this sketch/painting online that captures the beauty of music. Looking at the musicians with their instruments, I can imagine the sound of the orchestra playing.

The sketch inspired me to pull out my old violin and turn on some classical music. I experienced the joy of creating a sketch that expresses what I saw, heard and felt.
Sometimes it's difficult to make the time to practice, but it never gets old!
