<p>When painting recreationally without inhibition, the inner self naturally comes out.  A large piece of card board was placed in front of Catherine with her choice of colors.    Catherine’s art evolved like a well-rounded symphony&#8230;especially when she was doing it.  Her brush, unintentionally, it seems, became a baton and she was waving the colors onto the painting rhythmically.  When she got ahold of the pink, she was dabbing it on with an artistic flair.  &#8220;A little here, and a little up here,&#8221; she said as she jabbed her brush in the upper left-hand corner.  I found out later that Catherine&#8217;s long life was lived immersed in music.  She played the marimba most of her life and taught and directed children&#8217;s choirs.  That explains a lot!</p>
