TRUMPETS©

This is the THIRD of a series about musical instruments.

The trumpet
(a "lip-vibrated" instrument) is the highest brass instrument in register, above the horn, trombone, euphonium and tuba.
I chose for three valveless brass instruments: the speed and tightness of the lips, and the speed of the air that travels into the instrument come into play.
The faster the air, generally the higher pitch that comes out.

I thought that the old fashioned hand pumped CAR HORN of my grandfather should be part of this watercolor too!
The song
"All Together Now" from the Beatles ends with this hand pumped horn.

Abstract watercolor on cold press heavy weight paper 140 LB (330 g/m2)
Measurement 18"X24" (45.7X 61 CM)
Framed and matted.

This series of works has a stained glass quality to it. The shapes and colors form a harmonious whole, which is both figurative and abstract.
