“And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took an harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.” I Samuel Chapter 16 verse 23

Music is therapeutic. Listening or playing music often calm people’s spirits in trouble times. In the Holy Bible, young David was employed into the king Saul’s palace to play his musical instrument for king Saul to deal with the king’s mental health problems. Music therapy for mental health has been utilized as a therapeutic aid for many years.

“The Fact of Life: ROSES and THORNS, ” is the theme of my work; Roses are for happy times and thorns are for trouble times. In this painting “The Rose, the Thorns and the Violin” in which the Rose image clings to the violin, it depicts that music is good for happy times and well as the trouble’s times.
