Original Trumpet Painting by Dale Haessly

This is an original representational oil or acrylic painting on stretched canvas by artist Dale Haessly. The composition features a horizontally oriented brass instrument, specifically a trumpet, rendered in stylized blue and gold tones with multicolored accents within the bell. The trumpet appears to float surrealistically above an impressionistic jazz club or café interior. The background depicts wooden chairs, tables with glassware, and patrons rendered in a soft-focus, atmospheric style under the glow of three yellow-toned hanging light fixtures. The palette consists of earthy browns, muted greys, and vibrant blues and yellows. The brushwork is expressive and visible, suggesting a contemporary creation date, likely late 20th or early 21st century. The piece is signed 'Dale' in the bottom right corner in a dark cursive script. The canvas is shown resting on a wooden easel, indicating a medium to large scale format, approximately 24x36 inches based on visual context. The condition appears to be excellent with no visible tears, craquelure, or fading of the pigments. The craftsmanship exhibits a confident handle on light and shadow, particularly in the reflective surfaces of the trumpet and the diffusion of the overhead lighting.
