There is geometry in the humming of the strings,
there is music in the spacing of the spheres.
Pythagoras (c. 550 bc)
Not on one strand are all life's jewels strung.

Muy bonita pintura, Lisa.

I always hate to leave a comment as generic as “beautiful,” but really, that’s about all I can say here.
I love your textures, and the colors put me in mind of an 18th- or 19th-century wallpaper.
