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!

Brooklyn's Bridge Watercolors by Bertie Brown


 Brooklyn's Bridge

Fine Whine
my sister says
you are gonna get it
my sister says
you get a weather credit
my sister says
when this winter has been bedded
and the spring is this way headed
it will be so fine
the temps so kind you’ll  renounce all your whine...

SunnyD Sunflower Watercolors by Bertie Brown

SunnyD
original watercolor bouquet: 9" x 12"

Play Away

it’s really okay

to chill out and play

we all know we should

(that is understood)

but still we forget

and totally get

ourselves in fun debt

we think if we could 

buy us some fun

then surely we would 

feel wonderf’ly good

 Donkey*Oatie 'n Dulci*Neyyyya

Spring Musical
oh spring
is the thing
we hope for in November
long for in December
lose in January
right through February
cry for in March
die for in April
can’t wait one more day
for the merry month of May
and still cold temps cling
to every bloomin’ thing!
so when the month of June
bursts suddenly into view
I look around and smile
PLEASE stay with me awhile

Bloomers Waterolors by Bertie Brown

Bloomers
original watercolor bouquet: 10" x 13"

Sophie and I 

Were shopping for clues

What could we possibly 

Paint that is new

We passed by the eggplants 

With nary a glance

We’ve done them before

Those red beets next door

Were also a boor

But then Sophie spied

From the corner of her eye

Some flowers in a bunch

And she had a hunch

Their blooms were so busy

Dancing this way and that

She said we should paint them

And work really fast!

We finished the painting

Our energy waning

We needed our nap

And knew it was time

To end this short rhyme!
