Com-posers (Series) by Bertie Brown

Com-posers

original: 7 1/2"w x 9"h

Buttercup and Sunflower Daze

Sophie and I

Are anxious time counters

Of the weeks, days and hours

Till summer and sunflowers..

So we’re planning an event

To keep us content

A friendly little picnic

In a meadow very near

Where busy bees peer

Over petals and cheer

Their great luck at finding

A clover patch so inviting

And birds by the throngs

Sing melodious spring songs

Now that winter is gone...

We’ll have jam and buttercup bread

To keep our tummies well fed

Sweet meadow tea for me

None for Sophie till she’s two or three...

Well, maybe a bit sooner, we’ll have to see

So we’re waiting for our day

When Buttercups are in bloom

And our Sunflowers, too

Would you like to come

Please do

We’ll be waiting here just for you!

Bertie...I really like your plans for a lovely picnic with Sophie. I really admire your simple shapes, colors and movements in your paintings. I can feel the warmth. Very nice!

I like the loose feel and colors!

Another neat painting, Bertie.

Dianne Lorden said...

Vibrant! Looks like you used the support alot for the pedals ... it's so clean and sharp, yet fluid, too. Very lovely.

Claire Beadon Carnell said...

Your loose, fluid brushwork in this painting is postively sumptious, Bertie!

Autumn Leaves said...

Oh wow! What gorgeous sunflowers Bertie! Believe it or not, I think I like these even more than the lovely music paintings!

Your use of color and light in this painting makes the flowers pop and makes me think of summertime. Thanks for the invitation-the picnic sounds wonderful.

Love those lines defining the petals.

Thank you all! I think we are all in need of a simple picnic and rest in green meadows beside still waters...........Come on sun-dappled days!
