Methods and Madness

Sometimes I paint fast and loose

Other times quite controlled

The subject decides the method

But each work has the same goal:

A painting that is successful

And beautiful to behold!

Steppin' Up Musical Instrument Watercolors by Daily Painter Bertie Brown

Steppin' Up
original musical instrument watercolor w/trumpet, trombone, sax, piano, guitar: 7" x 11"
So my Sophie
Has gone home now
Six months somehow
Is all done, wow!
Did I see her
Wave a finger
Bye- bye BB, oh I’m getting very teary...
We had such fun
Right from day one
Sophie, BB
What a great team
Singing dancing
Truth enhancing
Girls pretending, there’s a book but it is pending..
Now it’s quiet
I don’t like it
But I’ve got work
That I can’t shirk
I’ve got paintings
That are waiting
For a mat and frame and some that need a great name!

Round and Round Still Life Watercolors by Daily Painter Bertie Brown

Round and Round
original watercolor still life w/baubles, glasses, vase, instruments: 15' x 15"
it’s relative-ly
a new work, you see 
with something that’s old
a shape big and bold
and some that are new
with int’resting hues
borrowed from yet
a past series set
hmmm...
it’s deja vu
for those orange and blues!

Instrumentally Correct Instrumental Watercolors by Daily Painter Bertie Brown

Instrumentally Correct
original instrumental watercolor w/horn, trobone, trumpet, piano, violin: 15" x 16"
way back in the day
when Sophie was a babe
I imagined that we
would be best friends indeed 
she’d be 2, maybe 3
and I‘d be...well, older, you see
I pictured us this way
on an ordinary day:
painting trumpets
horns and ‘bones
with bright colors
hues and tones
wearing paint stained artsy shirts
laughing as we did our work
while my poems said all that
Sophie grew and that’s a fact
now we really paint and draw
thats what we like most of all
and we def’nitely agree
BFFs, we’ll always be!

Reed Envy Musical Instrument Watercolor by Daily Painter Bertie Brown

Reed Envy
original musical instrument watercolor with/horn, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, flute 
7" x 11"

Quints Jam
The woodwind Quintet
Is surprised and upset
That a brass French Horn-et
Is allowed on their set
But the French Horn explained
While the Woodwinds complained
That his rich rounded sound
Keeps the Woodwinds anchored down
So they changed all their plans
And that’s how it began
For the “Woodwind Quints Jam”!

Poppy Pizzicato Floral Watercolors by Daily Painter Bertie Brown

Poppy Pizzicato
original floral watercolor/poppies: 7" x 11"

with buttercups in bloom
my poppies will soon
be done for the year
as June hovers near
but that’s not bad news
for my sunflowers who
will bring summer’s cheer
and that’s good to hear!
