Back to the Drawing Board Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Back to the Drawing Board

original figure drawing: 11" x 14"

back in school

we learned the rule

that there were cliques

a specialty list

of kids way cool

though we weren’t fools

our own gene pools

just did not rule

we weren’t as blessed

our confidence less

we weren’t sure why 

and could not guess

but since I've grown

i have been known

to play horn well

for quite a spell

now as I draw

i do recall

that art and song

to ALL belong

Background Music (Series) by Daily Painter Bertie Brown Original Contemporary Figurative Drawing

Musically Inclined

original musical motif abstract drawing: 7 1/2"w x 9 1/2"h

Musical Mystery

A new thing to do

When you’re bored or feelin’ blue

Let a cloth freely drop

Right over the top

Of a still life gone stale

Or one that just failed

And let a drawing begin

Using lines thick and thin

Till a theme comes alive

Or an idea starts to thrive

It’s surprising what you can find

Hidden behind time..

Master Copy - Paganini Portrait by Ingres

master copy drawing: 7 1/2"w x 9 1/2"h

An Ingres drawing

Is perfect, you know

From his first pencil mark

To his last stroke so dark

So with great trepidation

And yes, capitulation

I drew this for my assignment

In a classroom confinement

I drew as I fussed

But I got my A Plus!

Background Music

original contemporary figurative drawing on gessoed music manuscript: 9 1/2"w x 12 1/2"h

Perfect Practice

Practice makes better

But perfect?

Not ever...

Especially if drawing

Is what you can do

You’ll prob’ly improve

But that’s questionable, too

My advice to you

Buy an Etch-a-Sketch too!
