Art inspired by the French horn.
Artist Don Stewart combines creativity and intellect in his whimsical “composite” works. Through his web site, all these works are available for immediate purchase.

The French horn example shown at right, is typical of his unique style. These pen and ink works are images comprised of other images; small objects are pieced together in a way to construct a larger image. With “French Horn” a hodge-podge of images – including a wine bottle, a French baguette, a quarter, and an ice cream cone, among others – make up the composite image.
This would make a very nice gift – it is priced a very reasonable $75.
Pictured at left is a piece that made me both giggle and think “hmmm, cool!”
It is a collection of brass instruments arranged into the shape of a shoe. It is titled, appropriately, “Shoehorns.”
Pictured at right is a related item – “Medusa.” Medusa’s head is comprised of serpents – of the trombone variety.
Clever stuff that is visually fun and interesting.
Married to Don is Sue Ellen Brown, who is an illustrator. Her “French Nautilus” combines a horn with a nautilus shell. This particular piece is not for sale directly, but through her web site more information may be found if so desired.
