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!

Summer Blues Cruise
there’s plenty to do
in summer it’s true
but sometimes I must
simply adjust
my take on all work
and shirk all that work
take time to relax
look forward, think back
embrace solitude
consider my mood
it’s summertime blues
a rumination cruise

press on, you say
so that’s what I do
not cease and desist
that’s never okay…
to break through the fray
you gotta hang tough
and paint every day
talent’s just not enough

Core Com-Posers
original watercolor sunflowers and apples: 10" x 14"
my sunflowers are feelin’
a bit of inertia
hold on, Sophie said
I’ll get out the hose
and point, squeeze and squirt’cha
get ready, get set
you’ll feel better yet
and have lots of pep
‘cause I’m quite adept
at getting things wet

Convertible Com-Posers
original watercolor sunflowers 9" x 12"
oh my girls
with their curls
gossip all the day long
giggles here
sniggles there
oh the secrets they share
“she’s a lush”
then they blush
oh it’s all so unjust
when it comes
to their chums
they tell all and then some
so I must
paint and just
let them gab without fuss
it’s in jest
I just bet
though I’ve got no proof yet...

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!
BB
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!

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??
