Anticipation Series by Bertie Brown

Anticipation

original: 8"w x 6"h

Orange Blaze Poppy Craze!

Sophie and I are ecstatic and delighted

We’ve made a discovery

And we’re so excited

Our poppies are budding

Poking up from their beds

With fuzzy green heads

And we just can’t wait

For a plein air painting date

When they pop out of their skins

And we settle in

For a quick painting session

As we compose our impressions...

Petticoats dancing

Leggy stems prancing

Blue centers waving

Orange petals blazing.....

We’ve gotta be greedy

With our time and be speedy

Cause Poppies don’t last

But a day and a half!

So fluid and beautiful, Bertie. I can't wait to see those poppy buds open!

All of your pieces have such a gorgeous fluidity and sense of movement, Bertie. This is delightful.

This painting is beautiful, Bertie, and I must say all your paintings are beautiful. But, I have to change my favorite, again, to your painting posted on the DPIAG site, Background Music. I'm looking forward to seeing more of those.

Thanks, Pat... I don't have too many of those music manuscript drawings to post but maybe I will be inspired to do more...mostly I did sketches of the symphony that I later used as blueprints for paintings..so they were never really 'finished'.
