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!

FowlPlay Watercolors by Bertie Brown

FowlPlay

original watercolor chickens: 8" x 10"


Pecking Order

chickens are funny

their demeanors rarely sunny

it seems they’re addicted

and undeniably afflicted

with an un-named disease

or “condition” if you please

that affects their whole being

and fogs up their seeing

‘cause down in the pen

a red-head's the source

of a hen-pecked's remorse......

Colder Com-Poser Sunflower Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Colder Com-Poser 

original watercolor sunflower: 8" x 10"


Sophie and I know

that sometimes it’s best

to simply allow

a painting to rest

it may not be done

though there are intense

and beautiful hues

that seem to make sense

we want to be sure

we have to confess

that this work secures

it’s soulful-ishness

Bottle o'Wine Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Bottle 'oWine

original watercolor still life w/bottles: 12" x 16"


Cold Storage

twas time to relax

and take in the sight

of figs back to back

huddling tight

seems they were just cold

‘though this autumn's plight

had less bite, I’m told

and surely “they're" right!

but autumn  it is

and figsare like me

it’s summer we miss

on that we agree
