Just wanted to show you all a sketch that Ellen did the other day that she posted on her deviantart account. She says:
"An experiment in the idea that lines should create movement."
I liked it a lot.
Best,
George

Ah! The foreigners put on such airs
Wearing the tangerine suits
And their harlequin eyes.
The pain they inspire
Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer
Debonair.

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.

Knowing Ellen, I'm pretty confident it's a cat. 
She hasn't shown much interest in fat old guys yet--horns or no horns.
Best wishes,
George

I like it too, George. Line as movement has been a more of a favorite for me in past art, too.
Reminds me of a revival of the old quarrel of Poisson and Rubens, another two rivals of art, Neo-Classicical Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres and Neo-Baroque Romaticist Eugene Delacroix each depicting violinist Paganini differently. Delacroix prefering line for movement.
Ingres:
Ingres was a life-long proponent of the primacy of line over colour.
... he thought of himself as a painter of history in the tradition of Nicolas Poussin...
...he assumed the role of a guardian of academic orthodoxy against the ascendant Romantic style represented by his nemesis Eugène Delacroix.
Ingres was rarely successful in the depiction of movement and drama. As Sanford Schwartz has noted...
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Auguste_Dominique_Ingres
Delacroix:
In contrast to the Neoclassical perfectionism of his chief rival, Ingres, Delacroix took for his inspiration the art of Rubens and painters of the Venetian Renaissance...
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eug%C3%A8ne_Delacroix
But they were closer in thought than in art it seems.
See Delacroix, Journal entry of June 4, 1824: "It seems to me that the body may well be the machinery that restricts the soul, which is more universal....
Ingres: "Drawing is not just reproducing contours, it is not just the line; drawing is also the expression, the inner form, the composition, the modelling. See what is left after that. Drawing is seven eighths of what makes up painting."
Ingres also drew some nicely distorted contours.
