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!

Sunflower Showers Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Sunflower Showers

original watercolor sunflowers: 10" x 14"

Sunflower Girl Friends

I’m glad for late bloomers

as this season ends

each year it comes sooner

with the message it sends

to all of my battered

sunflower girl friends...

the dry trembling leaves

are scattered around

as sunflower sheaves

so brittle and brown

cool winds are approaching

pushing summer aside

with autumn encroaching

I nod and I sigh

there’s no time to fuss

it’s just nature’s way

a fact that I must

embrace this fall day...

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!

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!

Gossip Girls
The sunflower girls are gettin’ together for lunch

And gossip and news at the “Cafe Munch Bunch”.

The menu for today's Sunflower Brunch:

Bumble Bee Burgers and Golden Finch Fries

For dessert: Butterfly Splits and Dragonfly Pies....

So do not tarry, don't be late

For this fine midday tete-a-tete!

BB
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??

The Blog

Hey there mommy

Guess what Daddy

Grandma BB

Got accepted

To a website

Or a blogsite

Which is just

What Grandma BB thinks is great luck!

She’ll post paintings

That are waiting

To be purchased

By a merchant

Or collector

Art inspector

Or someone

Who loves her work and wants to buy some......

She will prob’ly

Post our Ozzie

And that work she

Titled “Sophie”

She’ll work hours

Posting flowers

Music themes

And in between

Some landscape scenes....

Then we’ll wait here

Hope and pray here

That somebody

Sees her work there

And sends e-mails

With some details

Of an order for

A work to fit their decor!

It’s Me That You See

Sophie was curious

And, oh so serious

“BB,” she inquired

“When you are inspired

How long does it take

You to draw and paint

A bright pretty picture

A special scene captured?”

“Well Sophie, my muse

You’re here with me, too

So you do have some clues

Regarding all that I do

But I’ll answer quite simply:

A painting takes distinctly

As long as it seems

That I have been me

And it’s me in those paintings,

If you look closely, you’ll see.”

I say that emphatically

And slightly dramatically!
