Beach Hash by Bertie Brown

Beach Hash

10"w x 13 1/2"h

Ghost Crabs

Harmless sand creatures

All top speed and scurry,

With quick stop and go features

As Porsche race cars in a hurry!

Playing tag, hide and go seek

All day long on the beach

With sand, sun, the sea....

And especially, me!

Now there may or may not

Be a crab in this lot

I really can’t tell

'Cause they hide out so well

Under any old shell...

I love the looseness of your watercolors. The subject matter is dear to me, as you might guess from all my fish paintings. But I love seeing artists who master the art of creating an image with loose strokes.
I continue to take landscape classes under Earl Blust to help me loosen up. But, once a draftmen...

The complementary colors are gorgeous, Bertie. And, there is so much movement in your painting.

Makes me think about worm times with no snow... time on the beach... Love it! (painting AND time on the beach!)

Your innate sense of composition pulls me right into the painting, then takes me on a splendid journey!
