Woodwinds at Rest
original watercolor musical motif still life: 18" x 22"
Well
the music said “rest”
so the woodwinds obeyed
they rested their best
and quietly laid
their reeds
and their keys
right down
with no frown
then I got my stuff
my paint pan and brush
turned on my i-tunes
and worked until dusk
now when I was done
I took just one quick
lollipop lick
then settled to munch
a black licorice whip!

Very well done!
Beautiful music, Bertie!
Exquisite painting, Bertie--love the rendering and the palette.
How playful! Are these all your instruments! Awesome as always!
Your paintings of instruments are perfect and so beautiful!
A big thank you to all...I thought french horns were hard to draw and paint...but these guys are just as hard ...They are all mine..but many of them are really just good posers...beat up and beyond repair, given to me by music teachers and instrument repairman....and they look a lot worse 'in person' than they do in my work...also, all 3 of my boys played various instruments , so that really started my collection....I need a Mozart Bust...anyone have one I could borrow or buy??
Love the composition, Bertie!
