Piece description from the artist
I enjoy the different types of musical sounds composed in an orchestrated piece of music. The French Horn has a beautiful sound to it which is difficult to describe. The shiny brass with all the little keys and moving parts fascinated me and gave me the inspiration to paint it in detail. All the tubes crossing behind each other made me go a little cross-eyed but I kept painting and was able to capture what I wanted to on the canvas.
