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!

The PeonyPatch Watercolors by Bertie Brown

The PeonyPatch

original watercolor peonies: 10" x 14"

there once was a peony patch

it’s beauty could hardly be matched

the ants feasting there

coaxed those petals so fair

to burst forth with fragrance and flair

Pop-ular Peonies Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Pop-ular Peonies

original watercolor peonies: 12" x 15"

Woo hoo Sophie

our peonies are back

it seems they’ve brought summer

in their backpacks

with petals wide open

and pink faces glowin’

there’s no time for faintin’

we gotta set up

to work on our paintin’

yes Sophie, it’s true

“summertime

and the livin’ is fine....”

Pouty Peonies Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Pouty Peonies

original watercolor peonies: 9" x 12"

March cold and snow

bring April harsh winds that blow

bring dismal May showers

that pour on my flowers

for hours and hours....

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??
