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!

Pepp Rally Watercolors by Bertie Brown

                                                                  

Pepp Rally

original watercolor peppers: 8" x 10


Peppers here, peppers there

Peppers poppin’ everywhere

One is yellow

More are green

Most are mellow

Laid back fellows

But let’s not stop

With that mild lot

Let’s go for HOT

And that means RED

The big red bell?

Well I think not

But you can tell

Those small hot shots

Are packin’ heat

That’s tough to beat!

Posers 'n Pepperazzi #2

there once was a sunflower patch

yet the finches so fair

and bees feasting there

ate till those flowers were bare

Posers'n Pepperazzi Sunflower Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Posers'n Pepperazzi

original watercolor sunflowers and peppers: 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

Pepperazzi Sunflower Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Pepperazzi

original watercolor sunflowers/peppers: 10" x 14"


A Pleasin’ Reason for the Girls in Season

You’re probably bored

After all you’ve endured

These paintings of girls

And their golden curls

They do love to preen

In their gold and green

They freely admit

They’re a bit narcissist

So I stay the course

(I’ve got no remorse)

Posting these pix

‘Cause, well, they insist

They do know the drill

The need they fulfill  

Their beauty will fade

As cool winds invade

So as the fall season

Begins that’s the reason

I post and I hope

 These paintings are pleasin’

Peppered Sunflower Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Peppered

original watercolor sunflowers 'n peppers: 12'"x 16"


what ho

Sophie and I 

just want to know

who switched off the heat

and dimmed the lights low

where are the wool socks for our feet

our cashmere sweaters and turtlenecks

who said summer could retreat?

we are cold and so distressed

why can’t winter last one week

it’s time I guess

to hibernate 

until next June

and we both say

please come back soon..

and thrown into a pot

by some well known famous chef

Pepper PatterWatercolors by Bertie Brown

Pepper Patter

original watercolor w/peppers: 14" x 10"

pitter patter

pepper chatter

what’s the news

and latest reviews

who just got sacked

was told to get packed

and leave with his knives

despite all his cries

yes, you know the show

we watch from our bowl

and grateful are we

‘cause we’re posers you see

our owner just paints

so we’ll not be braised

sliced diced nor arranged

on your fancy plates!

Pepper Platter Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Pepper Platter

original watercolor peppers/sunflowers: 10" x 14"


as summer reclines

in translucent honey haze

autumn comes alive

with transparent amber days

inky blue nights

fill infinite skies

cool winds collide

pushing summer aside

from translucent to transparent

these transitions are inherent 

seasons come and they go

with their foibles quite apparent

original watercolor w/veggies, peppers: 10" x 15"


And the pepper said

to her buddies green 'n red

why can’t we simply try

to lay our views aside

‘cause that’s the better way

to live in peace and harmony

will benefit us all, you see

Cold Front

The windows I’m closin’

my veggies need  hosin’

it’s blisterin hot

not one cold spot

by the frozen freezer door

where I pretend to stock up

on creamsicle pops

but truth to be told

it’s just good to feel cold!

Pepper-azzi Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Pepper-azzi
original atill life w/peppers:12" x 18"

 Good Vibrations
I love the way
on a late August day
the sun reaches down
to gather around
my sunflower girls
with their gold-yellow curls
and their skirts made of leaves
swaying in the breeze...
The birds of the air
and the insects working there
create a vibration
a vibrato celebration
as they all harmonize
their praise to the skies...
I’m thankful to be
by this shimmering sea
and grateful to hear
this music of the spheres

Pepperazzi Watercolor Still Life w/Peppers by Daily Painter Bertie Brown - Art is Instrumental

Pepper-azzi

original watercolor still life/peppers: 14" x 11

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??

seems I have this need

to paint what I see

the pepper-azzi, it seems

have indeed surrounded me!
