Watching you do that painting brought back memories of when I used to play around with watercolors. If there are any other artist members here they will learn a lot watching that video.
By the way, GREAT PAINTING !
George

Thank you George! And thanks for watching. I appreciate that you did.

If you would like to see a demo video on YouTube of this painting I just finished, it’s @

Here is the painting ( and thanks, Steve Smith for encouraging me to put it up! )

@bigdub

Ha ha, you are correct. But I think they'd make an exception for an old goat like me....

For you, definitely.

@j-jericho

WOW ! If I could play that good I would be playing first chair with The Canadian Brass...

George

They usually stand, George.

Well, I must be the number one driver in NJ as indicated by the single finger raised in my direction. What else could it be?

Rather obtuse, LOL But yes. I get it.
I thought it was acute one

@bigdub

Remember: every dead body left on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so, maybe, calm down.

@kehaulani said in Wynton Marsalis trumpet:

It's a play on words on the old elocution exercise, "The rain in Spain stays mainly on the plain".

There's (or was) a well-known Rogers & Hammerstein song in "My Fair Lady" that uses it.

Yes. I knew that. My post was an addition to the poem, which also rhymed, in case you didn’t notice. “……mainly on the plain” please explain. See?

@kehaulani
Please explain

I can only counter this with how Maurice André once described trumpet playing to me:
"Playing se trompette is like singing, just wisout a sore throat."

I felt that name drop vibration all the way over here in America.

When I post a photo, this is what I see, and I tap the circled icon shown here, then choose- photo library and that’s what works on my iPad.
I know it’s not android, but what works for me

Finished this one recently. Our nephew took some great photos of Portland Head Lighthouse in Maine just a little while ago and I asked if I could use some of the photos. He was happy to let me use them. I made a couple of changes, as always.

@ssmith1226
Actually it was made by Blessing, in Elkhart, Indiana, and people who are in the know have told me that it was equivalent to the Super Artist model. I just donated it last June to a school district in Western Idaho for some youngster to learn on as well.

@ssmith1226
Or a Sears, Roebuck Catalog trumpet, as did I.

@kehaulani
Pretty sure there are horns with better intonation than others.
Otherwise we would all be playing Bundy's.
True?

@turtletrumpet
The p s 119 stands for Psalm 119 or some other Psalm verse. Lawyer puts it there because it means a lot to him. This is what I was told by a friend who owns one. Ironically his last name is Lawler as well!

I can relate to both…..

What's his name? Said to the the dog owner.
HER/SHE
Oh, sorry to misgender your dog.
What's HER name?

No, his name is Hershey.
