Artistic expressions inspired by the French horn.

Beyond the little trinkets and baubles mentioned yesterday as Holiday gifts, there are other, higher end items to consider. An original work of art might not be as expensive and out-of-reach as you might think.

Artist Jo Sedlack has two daughters that are musicians – one is a horn student at the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music. The piece pictured at right is sold, but Ms. Sedlack anticipates making other horn-related pieces in the future. It sold for $250 – a great price for an original piece.

The use of vibrant color and expressive line captures the spirit and energy of the musician in action. I admire the “balanced asymmetry” to this piece – between the vertical lines at left and the horizontal lines at right, and the round horn shapes in the center.
