Abstract Brass Instrument Composition by Dale Haesly

This is an original abstract painting on canvas by artist Dale Haesly, depicting a surreal and vibrant interpretation of brass musical instruments, specifically horns and trumpets. The piece is characterized by thick, impasto brushwork and a rich, multi-layered color palette featuring shades of cerulean blue, golden yellow, magenta, and deep greens. The central motif consists of elongated, curving horn shapes that sweep across the vertical composition, creating a sense of rhythmic movement. The artist has utilized heavy texture, with visible paint ridges and swirling application techniques that suggest a lively, syncopated energy. Significant attention to detail is evident in the blend of organic and geometric forms, with circular bells of the horns acting as focal points throughout the canvas. The work appears to be contemporary, likely produced within the late 20th or early 21st century. The painting is shown resting on a wooden studio easel, indicating it is an unframed stretched canvas. The surface condition appears stable with no immediate signs of cracking, flaking, or pigment loss, though the heavy application of medium requires careful handling. The overall craftsmanship reflects a bold expressive style typical of abstract expressionism with a focus on musical themes.
