Piano Ma'am Musical Motif Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Knitter Kitty

original watercolor w knitter, kitten: 7" x 11"

The Soloist

original: 7" x 10"

Piano Ma'am

original  watercolor piano player: 7" x 10"

the Piano-forte

is high on my list

of things I should try

before I am missed

but how in the world

could my fingers and toes

work all of those keys

and pedals of gold???

I can’t even think

of reading bass clef

‘cause treble takes all

 the brains I’ve got left

so maybe I’ll just

be happy that I 

was suitably good 

playing horn while I could

Coast Guard Seascape Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Coast Guard

original seascape watercolor Rockport, MA: 7" x 11"

On the Rocks

oh  my Sophie and me

we’d much rather be

on the rocks

by the docks

of Cape Ann by the Sea

and when a Nor’easter

those bellowing blows

nip at our keasters

our noses and toes

we’ll just hold on tight

as it wails day and night

till it blows out to sea

and safe we will be...

Petite Suite Still Life Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Petite Suite

original watercolor still life w/horn, apples, wine, bottles: 9" x 8"

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!

Knitter Sitter Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Knitter Sitter

original watercolor Knitter: 7" x 10"

my sister’s a knitter

a fine knitter sitter

she sits and she clicks

those shiny long sticks

coaxing mile after mile

of yarn into tricks:

her magical styles

of socks called argyles

and mittens and vests

are simply the BEST

she expertly winds

these loops into gear

that keep us quite warm 

during COLD winters here

Petite Suite

original watercolor w/trumpet player: 6" x 9"

Petite Suite

original watercolor w/violin player: 6" x 9"

the violin's a diva girl

when bowed she lets her notes unfurl

when plucked

her notes are quite abrupt

and when she’s played her last hurrah

she bows and takes two curtain calls!

Petite Suite

orignal watercolor w/horn player: 6" x 9"

A Mellow Fellow

The French horn’s such a classy fellow

When played he sings a tune so mellow

When muted 

A new sound’s substituted

And when there’s nothing left to play

He simply packs himself away
