Rhythm & Blues (Series) by Bertie Brown

Rhythm & Blues


Rhapsody

“Rhapsody in Blue”

Was our music today

Sophie and I thrilled

To the opening way

That the clarinet soared

Through that octave and more...

So we set up a still life

With lots of great blues

We have so much fabric

It’s hard just to choose

Then added some apples

A lemon and mug

And threw some old brushes

Into a jug

We hummed to the tune

While painting till noon

Sophie, my rhapsody

In tap dancin’ shoes

Gerschwin and orchestra

Playin’ his blues!

Such a sense of happiness this give me when my eye travels around to each bit in the painting. The blues are so wonderful, and there is a great feeling of light.

Gosh, Bertie. This is so lovely, so homey. Each time you knock it out of the park!
