Com-posers Series, Original Impressionistic Watercolor Floral by Pennsylvania Daily Painter Bertie Brown

Com-posers

original impressionistic watercolor floral: 8 1/2"w x 11"h

Plein Air Posers

Sophie and I

Are painting plein air

Under bright sunny skies

On a day so fair

Our sunflowers primp and preen

While we apply the sunscreen

Then get right to work

As we quench our paper’s thirst

With lots of water, that’s our technic

‘Cause happy accidents are what we seek!

Bleeding colors, water marks

Lights contrasting with darkest darks...

Working quickly, we’re in a hurry

(We try not to worry

Will this be a keeper

Or one we will bury?)

Well, Sophie girl

What do you think

She nodded and smiled

And gave me a wink!

This is one of my favorites of yours. That luscious dark sienna really grabs me.
