Quints' Jam Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Quints' Jam

original watercolor musical instruments/ woodwind quintet: 10" x 14"

licorice whips

and lollipop licks

glasses and globes

and woodwinds also

it’s relative you know

but one thing’s for sure

this group needs a horn

with full rounded bore

to balance the sound 

of notes up and down

and licorice whips

are relative links

to lollipops licks

atop that long stick

Quints' Jam Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Quints' Jam

original watercolor still life w/horn, woodwinds

back in the day

i remember we played

with marbles and jacks

and baseballs and bats

but sometimes i recall

though i tried hard to stall 

i had to apply

my  lip 

to the tip

of my tarnished old horn

and try not to sound

too bad or forlorn

much later i found

practice, patience plus time

would greatly improve

my horn teacher’s mood!

Quints'Jam Musical Motif Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Quints Jam

original musical motif watercolor: 18" x 23"

the woodwind quintet

is surprised and upset

that a brass french horn-et

is allowed on their set

while the woodwinds complained

the french horn explained 

that his rich rounded sound

kept the woodwinds anchored down

so they threw up their hands

made a quick change of plans

and that’s how it began

for the woodwind “Quints Jam”!
