The Beestee Boyz Watercolors by Bertie Brown

The Beestee Boyz

original watercolor bees: 9" x 12"

A Mellow Fellow

the dandelion's a classy fellow

in spring he paints a pic so mellow

that buzzybeez 

start seeing yellow

and when it turns to fuzz 'n seed

it floats away 

on a springtime breeze

Betty'nBarnaBee Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Betty'nBarnaBee

original bees: 5" x 7"

in the bee-ginning

we all loved the sun

we couldn’t get enough

we were never quite “done”

our faces were bronzed

our hair sun-streaked gold

our innocence reigned

we’d never grow old

but time has a way

a mean streak, I’d say,

of hastening the days

that youth does betray

so now that we’re old

or older, to wit,

we’re gonna wise up

and use sunscreen, just a bit...

Gypsie Rosalie Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Gypsie Rosalie

original watercolor: 10" x 14"

you cannot be chicken

if you do some paintin’

unless you are thinkin’

you’d like a good lickin’

‘cause just when that paint

does wondrous fresh stuff

your brain turns to mush

and you muck it all up

original watercolor gator: 9" x 12"

simply adjust

my view of the world

and try something new

so dinner's gonna be

TurkeyJerky Watercolors by Bertie Brown

 TurkeyJerky

original watercolor turkeys: 9" x 12"

you cannot be chicken

or a turkey when paintin’

unless you are thinkin’

you’d like a good lickin’

‘cause just when that paint

does wondrous fresh stuff

your brain turns to mush

and you muck it all up

The Leader of the Pack Watercolors by Bertie Brown

The Leader of the Pack

original watercolor pet pic: 9" x 12"

I think that it’s done

and I had some fun

‘though there a few 

solutions that skewed

my original view

and managed to be

surprising, you see

so now I don’t know

if it’s fit to show

if not,

 you’ve just got

to tell me to Stop!

Baubles'nBell Horn Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Baubles'nBell

original watercolr horn: 17" x 20"

The French Conundrum

The French Horn is happy

Wherever it plays

From Woodwinds and Brass

To  the Strings with such class.

Yes, the instruments agree

That it’s sound does so please.

And most of the time

The horn is quite amiable

But it can get unruly

And downright unplayable!
