Cor En Fa Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Cor en Fa

original water media horn: 9" x 12"

The French Conundrum

The French Horn is happy

Wherever it plays

From Woodwinds and Brass

To  the Strings with such class.

Yes, the instruments agree

It’s sound does so please.

And most of the time

The horn is quite amiable

But it can get unruly

And downright unplayable!

Musical Props Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Musical Props

original ink and marker w/horn, trumpet, tuba, trombone: 6" x 8"

brass blast

would a trumpet 

be a strumpet

if he played a loose lipped jig

while his brother

played another

more pretentious tight hipped gig

would a trumpet

eat a crumpet 

while he played a high brow dig

could a strumpet 

be a pundit

if she shed her platinum wig?

would a trumpet

and a strumpet 

wear a 5 inch high heeled shoe

could a crumpet

 clog a trumpet 

if it got stuck in his tube?

Itty Bitty Ditties Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Itty Bitty Ditties

original watermedia sunflowers: 4 1/2" x  7 1/2"

Adagio Dance...

It’s a scorcher today

With intensive sun rays

 My sunflowers have stopped 

Their jitterbug hop

Choosing caution instead

With a rest in their bed

But before they retire

They’re feeling inspired

By their many dine-ees

To try if by chance

The Adagio Dance

They sway with the breeze

Take two steps, then three

Twirl and lift up their leaves

Bid the finches and bees

Come feast on our seeds

Sip nectar if they please

It’s a slow dance, you see

For the birdies and bees 

Those flighty dine-ees

And admiring garden-ees

Sophie and me!

Sophie's Stuff Water Media Abstract by Sophie Brown

Sophie's Stuff

original water media abstract: 10" x 8"

R E S T

I bet you don’t know

that 4 letter word

spelled R-E-S-T

is the absolute worst

as a bad word it’s first (!)

according to Sophie

who knows at BB’s

she makes all the rules

‘cause she is no fool

she just has to say

hey BB, let's paint

of course I obey

and we paint all day!
