IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

The way I understand the music is that..(it is only one of the music)... it is a
great relief, 
like a light shining in the darkness for the weary traveler. like a little sun.
It's pure thing 
with noiseless and dustless...it's pleasant, lovely...and it gives me hope and
courage to live.
So mind becomes open and rich, and will be warm.
The wood dog may be playing an instrument at midnight...

-----
Wood dog was my new year card's design because 2006 is dog-year in Japan. It
were made bysphere_sweep(b_spline). I don't use modeller to create all things.
Our biggest interest is in how to create a pretty(kawaii) animal. However there
is no winning trick...
Composition: There are not many objects. So it may be a Haiku(poem)-like
expression...
