Christmas Brass Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Christmas Brass

original watercolor musical motif w/trombone, trumpet, horn: 10" x 14"

Sophie Says

what ho

I just want to know

who’s lying in that manger bed

with a stable roof o’er His head

and why are there reindeer 

flying in the night sky

with a guy in a sleigh 

following close behind

And

there’s a tree in our house

with packages strewn about

that I’m not s’posed to touch

and there seems to be such

a decorating fuss

it’s confusing, you know

for a little kid so

I’ll just ask BB

I’m hoping that she

can explain it to me!

Hornist Anne Marie Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Hornist Anne Marie

original watercolor portrait: 10" x 12

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

Music'ly Inclined Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Music'ly Inclined

original watercolor violin/sunflower: 12" x 12"

Practice makes better

But perfect?

Not ever...

Especially if painting

Is what you can do

You’ll prob’ly improve

But that’s questionable, too

My advice to you

Buy a Bertie Brown or two!

The Man*The Myth*The Legend Watercolors by Bertie Brown

The Man*The Myth*The Legend

original watercolor portrait:7" x 10"

there’s rhythm in blues

and red stripes, that too

and some runners who

are patriots, 'tis true

which brings us to this

a guy you can't miss
as he takes his place

at each Red Rose Race

it may slow him down

but still that flag flies

and we in the crowd

cheer and give him 'Hi Fives'!

Baubles 'n Bell Instrumental Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Baubles 'n Bell

original watercolor still life w/horn: 17" x 17"

Quints Jam

the woodwind quintet

is surprised and upset

that a brass french horn-et

is allowed on their set

while the woodwinds complained

the french horn explained 

that his rich rounded sound

kept the woodwinds anchored down

so they threw up their hands

made a quick change of plans

and that’s how it began

for the woodwind “Quints Jam”!
