Also in the same issue is a feature on Petar Meseldžija showing how he painted his recent fantasy painting "The Frost Giants," a report on John Howard Sanden's portraits of George and Laura Bush, and a report by Matthew Innis on the recent Art of the Portrait conference.

As the shadows flickered across the stones, I could hear the music and words of a song called "Greenwich" drifting out from the chapel.

Lord, what a thoughtless wretch was I,
To mourn, and murmur, and repine,
To see the wicked placed on high,
In pride and robes of honor shine! 

But O their end, their dreadful end.
Thy sanctuary taught me so;
On slipp'ry rocks I see them stand,
And fiery billows roll below.

—Words by Isaac Watts, 1719

Sound propagates outward from its source more like a bubble than a wave, according to John Stuart Reid.

He uses a Cymascope to capture the patterns of sound in a membrane of water, whose behavior is photographed, and, in this case, superimposed over the image of the violinist.

The technique has been used to study the patterns of sound made by birds, elephants, dolphins, and human vowel sounds.
