Renaissance Girl Still Life Watercolors by Bertie Brown
Renaissance Girl
original drawing: 8" x 10"
What ho!
the winds they are screamin’
my house it is leanin’
right into the flow
of tonite's frosty blow
my windows are bulgin’
the furnace is pulsin'
this nor’westerly hold
is keepin’ me cold
my goosebumps I declare
have goosebumps I swear
my icicled nose
is more froze than my toes!

My Girl Watercolors by Bertie Brown
My Girl
original watercolor w/statu-esque girl and violin: 15" x 18"
remember in school
we learned the rule
that there were cliques
a specialty list
of kids way cool
and though not fools
our own gene pools
just did not rule
we weren’t as blessed
our confidence less
we weren’t sure why
and could not guess
but this beauty-girl
with pig-tail and curls
just knows she'd be
so popular indeed!

The Girl That I Knew Somewhere Watercolors by Bertie Brown
The Girl That I Knew Somewhere
original watercolor still life w/ sculpture: 11" x 15"
press on, you say
so that’s what I do
not cease and desist
that’s never okay
to break through the fray
you gotta hang tough
and paint every day
talent’s just not enough

There's Still Life
watercolor still life w/ pottery, dried flower: 10" x 12"
Toast!
cheers to beginnings
for 2000-Sixteen (!)
I do hope my paintings
do more than succeed
so here’s to good starts
what e're they may be
as paper and paint
spread out before me
may each have a touch
of magic I trust
as bravely I wield
my pencils and brush
