Ringing in the Brass (8 x8 watercolor on clayboard) SOLD
Trombone bell resting on the bells and facing a flute. My daughter says this one has a Christmasy feel to it and I think she is right. In any case, I like the red and gold.

Brass and Silver Keys (8 x 8 watercolor on clayboard) $65.00
I painted this little baby yesterday at the gallery. I like the contrast between the silver and gold, but I wasn’t really happy with it until the shadows went in.

I’ve never painted to make mugs or t-shirts and such, but the instrument paintings I’ve doing of late strike me as likely candidates for such things so I’ve made them available through zazzle.com.

This is another painting resulting from my photo shoot at Weathers Music. I brought a number of things with me including table cloths, flowers, and fruit. In the end though I mostly limited my fruit use to grapes and pears. The pears are my favorite. I think the shapes of the pears have something to say the bells of the horns, don’t you? I hope so, because the pears are repeated over and over in the horn.
Mounted on a black wooden cradle frame and finished with clear polymer varnish, this painting may be hung as is or framed.

The Glow of Brass (16 x 18 watercolor on paper) Reserved
For this painting I used the very same reference photos that I used for Three Horns. In repainting this image, I’ve made several changes besides the obvious change from canvas to paper. This time I’ve kept the background quite light and emphasized the shadows and the reflected light from the horns into the the shadows. I’ve also bumped up the contrast by leaving more white and taking the darks much darker.
