Ragtime Musical Motif Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Ragtime

original musical motif watercolor w/piano, horn, trumpet, cat: 8" x 11"

the piano is back

and these are the facts

there’s still lots to do

with a keyboard that’s new

but vintage is in

what a glorious thing

it’s sound does inspire

what ragtime requires

a bouncy upbeat

Scott Joplin-esque treat

Petite Suites Musical Motif Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Petite Suites

original watercolor musical motif w/turmpet, cello, accordion player: 7" x 11"

more petite suites

and musical peeks

of soloists, if you please

‘cause of course, you see

they’ve got the same theme

so theoretical-ly

what’s next just might be...

a kazoo player in green!

Musical De-lite Still Life Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Musical De-lite

watercolor musical motif still life w:sunflowers, bottles, insstruments: 11" x 14"

I keep pressing on

seems that’s what I do

to see what comes next

with a painting or two

there’s music, of course

and sunflowers, sure

with pitchers and more

from still lifes of yore

it’s funny, you know

when themes just won’t go

and my artwork shows

my real life also

City Kitty Musical Motif Watercolors by Bertie Brown

City Kitty

original musical motif watercolor w/Fulton Theater, Horn, Violin, Kitten: 9" x 11"

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!

Fishin' Kitten

original still life w/kitten, sunflowers: 10" x 11"

Molly’s in charge

and that really means

she’s eyeing the fish

she’s hungry, it seems

it’s nat’ral you know

for her by design

to prey on a trout

cause she’s a feline

but hey, can’t she see

that place setting’s mine

with posies sublime,

a  glass of red wine
