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.

Anonymous Guest 03 Oct 2006

Ook je trumpets en violins zijn heel mooi ! Maar je moet wel uitkijken dat je productie binnen de perken blijft van wat jullie in de basement kunnen opslaan. Verder zal je een galerie moeten zoeken om e.e.a. aan de man te brengen ! Maar alle bewondering. V.l.&gr. Moeders en Dad

Patrick Boyle 03 Oct 2006

great use of different colors in this one Olga.The bright background makes the blues of the horns really stand out.Beautiful work

Emily Reed 03 Oct 2006

Ah, Olga, I do just love how these trumpets just float on their background! This is so exquisite! You are a master of this unique, creative style!

Anonymous Guest 03 Oct 2006

Hoi Olle, Tjonge wat een productie joh. Waar haal je de inspiratie vandaan?? En je doet het ook snel! Maar heel leuk om te zien - en nogmaals; ik vind het knap en veelal mooi werk! Liefs, José
