Background Music (Series) by Bertie Brown

Background Music

original drawing on gessoed music manuscript: 9 1/2"w x 12 1/2"h

Background Music

Is what you see

If you look closely

At this drawing of me

But the music I hear

In my mind’s ear

Has its own unique

And distinctive beat

With far away melodies

Following distant harmonies

That conjure up longings

And desires so haunting...

These are the songs

My people pass along

Mystical songs

From a time now long gone...

Another haunting passage and painting--soft, gentle rendering of the figure-beautiful pose.

Absolutely magnificent, Bertie. The justapostion of the wonderfuly rendered figure on the musical score, and the subtle coloring throughout make this a masterpiece.
