I had the pleasure of watching The Red Violin on Saturday night. Through Netflix, we’ve had it in our home for about three months–just waiting for the perfect time to watch, I suppose.
It’s a beautiful movie and I highly recommend it to all artists.
The underlying theme: One beautifully crafted, much-loved musical instrument (created with the most tender affection) unites diverse people over three centuries and thousands of miles.
Isn’t that what great art does?

I agree this is an outstanding movie. And, being highly inspired and motivated by music, the soundtrack is one of those rare CDs that I can put on in my studio anytime I find myself “pondering” more than “painting”. It gets my art flowing!
