L'Orangerie
original watercolor still life with violin, oranges: 15"w x 18"h
What could Matisse say
about “L’Orangerie”
would he just click his tongue
say this work is fun
and call it a day
then pick up and play
that small violin
in his unique way

Musically Inclined/Brass Trio
original musical motif watercolor/brass trio: 15"w x 18"h
menage a trois
if the trombone’s in charge
the trumpet won’t play
the horn won’t say
if he’ll go or stay
such is the way
our world behaves today
compromise is out
dissonance has clout
there could be peace and harmony
‘cause trios can play charming-ly

Brass Class
Its a well known fact
That a trio of brass
Is hard to beat
In terms of class.
And favorite things
Are not much better
Not chocolate or cheese cake
Nor lobster or steak
Not mountains or beaches
Nor clear spring-fed lakes
Not cool drinks in summer
Nor hot drinks in winter
Not even sun-showers
That grow my sunflowers
The one thing that’s better
Than a classy Brass Trio
would certainly be
A Mozart Horn Solo..

Musical Props
original watercolor still life with accordion/clarinet: 22"w x 18"h
Musical Props
accordion to the donkey
the clarinet is NOT honky
and says the donkey
the accordion’s not wonky
but, admits he
it depends on, you see
who’s got the chops
and who’s playin’ those dots
and the keys on these
two instruments, if you please
he notes as he trots
through the musical props

Molly’s Packrat
the fact is this
(it cannot be missed)
Molly follows her bliss
painting day and night
‘til she gets her work right
then hands it to me
when it’s ready to mat
saying you can do that
then put it in the pack
on the “For Sale” rack

Molly and Matisse
watercolor still life in progress
Molly’s Folly
Molly works out
it’s plain to see
just look at that sleek
leg and furry knee
she stays in top shape
‘cause she knows it makes
her creative self soar
through the work she adores
drawing and painting
it’s never a chore!

ReplyDeletena, she's just taking a break from painting her still life...she is a diva, though!
ReplyDeleteshe wouldn't stay in that position long enough for me to try a painting of her... I can barely get a pic of her!
