The Fire of Drums and Strings

This piece was created with a wonderful experience I had when I volunteered at a university's graduation ceremony. The volunteers were given a list of graduates who would be marching, and they would also give us a large sign to carry, which indicated what program and degree the graduates would receive. It was our job as volunteers to escort the graduates down 112th Street in New York City, to Saint John the Divine Cathedral. It was wonderful seeing all the graduates very excited. But the most extraordinary part of all this, was that they were to march with the percussion instruments of African Drums. There were about eight women playing these African drums all the way to the cathedral, and well inside. They continued to play, while the graduates were escorted to their seats. No one could stand still. They had to move to the rhythm and beat of the drums. Although this painting has two musicians with string instruments, it was the feeling of full orchestration in the drums that were playing at the graduation ceremony that I wanted to capture. It was like a new beginning. And so with fire, it is like a spirit of a new time and place.

There are times in our life when we find something that truly grabs us emotionally, spiritually. And there are times when we are made to realize that we are fully alive. Our hearts flutter as if rose were blooming within our hearts. Little gifts like these are given to us each day. We can receive them if and when we are open to them.

When I created this painted The Harpers Under The Stars, I thought of these harpers playing outside in an amphitheater. But it turned out that I was to zero in on these gals, And to focus on the performance on stage. With the lights streaming down on the musicians, while they play in sync with one another.

The Harpers Under The Stars
This painting is so real that the dolls seem to jump off the canvas. Musically these ladies bring you into their world of harp playing under the stars. Well, they are actually on stage. The lights above shine on the glitter and there it is; glowing stars. These dolls are all handmade cloth dolls with handmade harps, matched perfectly to the doll harper. With the wooden frame built with the painting, it can be easily hung on your wall. This is a unique piece of Lizjul Doll Designings. One painting only.

Fire of Drums and Strings

But it’s their love and passion of music that keeps the warm flame burning. The flames are hand painted suede. The drums and string instruments are handmade with leather. Our frame is built into the painting so you can easily hang it on your wall. A unique piece made by Lizjul Doll Designings. One painting only.
