Description
A Stradivarius or Strad is one of the violins, cellos, and other stringed instruments built by members of the Stradivari (Stradivarius) family, particularly Antonio Stradivari, during the 17th and 18th centuries. According to their reputation, the quality of their sound has defied attempts to explain or equal it, though this belief is disputed. The name "Stradivarius" has become a superlative often associated with excellence; to be called "the Stradivari" of any field is to be deemed the finest there is. The fame of Stradivarius instruments is widespread, appearing in numerous works of fiction.

What we make with our hands reveals our Souls, and, in that way, is always amazing. . . A wonderful image, David, rich in many ways. . . ^.^

Gary, how many times have I thought those thoughts when seeing your amazing creations, as though your soul and hands were directly connected in amassing those delicate whirls and strokes from paint to canvas...thanks for your kind words...they apply more to you than to these images...
