There is beauty in simplicity



Musical Seahorse
Ink and pencil

It's time for another Wicked Wednesday challenge!  This week's theme: Black and White


My inspiration this week comes from music.  It is both spiritual and physical therapy for me.  My guitar instructor, Sal provides great support and motivation as I continue to maintain strength and agility.  Diana, my flute and piano instructor, is also a great source of motivation for me.  THANKS GUYS!!!!

For those who are not familiar with music theory, my seahorse is built with bass clefs and one treble clef for its body.  A whole note gives it sight. 
I hope you like this piece just as much as I enjoyed creating it.  Thanks for stopping by!

Peace and love,
Mary xoxo

"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us."
~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Art is my biggest outlet.  But Music is never far behind.  When things get rough and are spinning out of control, I take a moment.  Actually, several moments; enough for the duration of my "go-to" song, Moonshine.  This song was written by my music teacher and it's musical valium to me.  It is six minutes and thirty nine seconds of pure serenity.  I get six minutes and thirty nine seconds to reboot and regain my perspective.  Then I can face whatever lies ahead.  You want to see what I mean? Go and click on Sal's Music and find out. You can thank me later :)

I've also done a previous piece based on this song:

The beauty of art and music...there is no right or wrong.  It means what it means, to you.
