Poppy Pizzicato
original watercolor floral/poppy: 8"w x 10"h
Orange Blaze Poppy Craze!
Sophie and I are ecstatic and delighted
We’ve made a discovery
And we’re so excited
Our poppies are budding
Poking up from their beds
With fuzzy green heads
And we just can’t wait
For a plein air painting date
When they pop out of their skins
And we settle in
For a quick painting session
As we compose our impressions...
Petticoats dancing
Leggy stems prancing
Blue centers waving
Orange petals blazing.....
We’ve gotta be greedy
With our time and be speedy
Cause Poppies don’t last
So we gotta paint fast!

Sophie's Picnic
original still life watercolor with pitcher, daffodils, oranges: 17" x 17"
Sophie and I
Are enjoying this fine weather
With temps in the 70’s
It couldn’t be better!
This sweet summer prelude
Has put us in the mood
For picnics at brunch
That last until lunch
Our silly girl talks
Become lazy long walks
Then quick jaunty jogs
In our sporty running togs
Return us home safe
Where nap-time awaits!

Daffodil Daze
original floral watercolor/daffodils: &7"w x 11"h
Sophie’s First Daffodil
As Sophie and I
Went out for our walk
We sang silly songs
And giggled and talked
Till we came to a hill
And there by the way
Bloomed a lone daffodil
A perky yet mellow
Friendly little fellow
We bent down to sniff
The petals just a bit
But I must confess
Though our sniffers did their best
We didn’t smell a thing
Except perhaps
A bit of Spring..........!

Savannah's Bonaventure
original watercolor landscape/Bonaventure Cemetery: 12"w x 12"h
Like most things Savannah
there’re places you hafta’
check out despite
the buggers that bite
Bonaventure’s a sight
that mustn’t be missed
it’s moss draped and sun-kissed
and high on my list
of tourist-y fav’rites
but do be forewarned
it’s next to a salt marsh
where bugs wait in swarms

Savannah on Jones
original watercolor city scape/Jones St., Savannah: 11"w x 14"h
oh Annabelle and I
love blue Savannah skies
a warm and friendly clime
where spanish mosses sway
draped o’re live oak archways
that line most city streets
and shade us from the heat
where gardens lush and fine
thrive almost all the time
and fountains sing their songs
of goodwill all day long
But one thing that we hate
when sleeping bugs awake
and make the big mistake
of thinking that we taste
just like praline pancakes
and gather up en-mass
to break their night-time fast
and feast upon our skin
from toes to chinny-chins!

Dollars and Sense
original watercolor still life with sand dollars, books, lamp: 17"w x 15"h
oh to be
by the sea
on a day such as this
would it be
could it be
just the ultimate bliss....
treasures free
(there’s no fee)
in the ocean abyss
and these finds
so sublime
become still lifes of mine

Musically Inclined/Jazz
original musical motif watercolor/Sax, Trumpet, Clarinet: 15"w x 18"h
Saxi-phone Facts
It’s a well known fact
our jazz-ical sax
is a woodwind that’s
disguised in brass
and so it goes
with both of those
a trumpet made of brass
a clarinet with class
a Sax with lots of sass
gathering together
to play what we call Jazz

Swan Song/Violin, Poppy
original watercolor still life with poppy, violin, oranges: 18"w x 15"h
and the poppy sang along
to the violin’s swan song
while the citrus in box seats
wearing pastel couture chic
whispered out their pleased Bravo
as the violin bowed low
‘cause that poppy stole the show!
