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!

Sophie Says
what ho
I’d really like to know
who’s lying in that manger bed
with a stable roof o’er His head
and why are there reindeer
flying in the night sky
with a guy in a sleigh
following close behind
And
there’s a tree in our house
with packages strewn about
and Mommy's in a fuss
baking lots of good stuff
it’s confusing, you know
for a five year old, so
I’ll just ask BB
she'll explain it to me!

Toast!
cheers to beginnings
for 2000-twenty some
i do hope my paintings
are touched with some fun
so here’s to good starts
whatever they be
as wet paper + paint
spread out before me
may each have a touch
of magic i trust
as i draw and paint
with pencil and brush!

Practice makes better
But perfect?
Not ever...
Especially if horn playing
Is what you can do
You’ll prob’ly improve
But that’s questionable, too
My advice to you
Buy a French Horn Kazoo!

Gossip Girls
The sunflower girls are gettin’ together for lunch
And gossip and news at the “Cafe Munch Bunch”.
The menu for today's Sunflower Brunch:
Bumble Bee Burgers and Golden Finch Fries
For dessert: Butterfly Splits and Dragonfly Pies....
So do not tarry, don't be late
For this fine midday tete-a-tete!

Harmo-nious Perso-nious
went out for a run
this very fine day
had lots to be done
stuff that gets in the way
of some fun in the sun
but nature’s libretto
called out ceremo-nious
in pleasing vibrato
a sound tremolo-nious
twas something I sought to
experience in perso-nious
and when I got done
on this very fine day
from my run in the sun
I was all tuned up and completely harmo-nious
BB
and this is the question
can I toss intention
and renounce all strife
at this stage of life?
could I, if you please,
watch daytime TV
munch croissants with cheese
sip Long Isle Iced Teas
would I, do you see,
be happy with ease??
