Centerfold Sunflowers Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Centerfold Sunflowers

original watercolor sunflowers: 10" x 14"

and this is the question

can I toss intention

and renounce all strife

at this stage of life?

could I, if you please,

watch daytime TV

munch crackers and brie

sip Long Isle Iced Teas

would I, do you see,

be happy with ease?

no I must insist

on my painting trysts!

Savvy Anna Watercolor Portraits by Bertie Brown

Savvy Anna

original watercolor portrait: 8" x 10"

Savvy Anna

the prettiest southern belle 

as you all can tell

I see it right now

in my mind’s eye somehow

these moments I’ll recall

as she makes her debut

at a debutante’s ball

in some historic-ly old 

and grand Savannah hall

Winter SunFlowers Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Winter Sunflowers

original watercolor sunflowers, bananas, pear, lemon: 10" x 13"

Winter Blues

oh, how I long for June or July

with summer sunshine

and butterflies passing by

this season of cold 

has taken it’s hold

with harsh winds now wailin’

seems the sun has gone sailin’

so I’m getting all set,

though it’s hard not to fret,

as blankets cover my lap

 and I settle in

 for a long mid-winter’s nap......

Singer BarB Portraits by Bertie Brown

 Singer BarB

original watercolor portrait: 7" x 7"

i once had a thought

original and clever...

but that thought i forgot!

gone forever? i hope not..

still, i’m dismayed 

yes fraught 

and distraught

‘cause it may have been great

that thought i just lost!

Fall-out Plein Air Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Fall-out

original watercolor plein air landscape: 9" x 12"

Sophie and I know

that sometimes it’s best

to simply allow

a painting to rest

it may not be done

though there are intense

and beautiful hues

that seem to make sense

we want to be sure

we have to confess

that this work secures

it’s soulful-ishness

A River Runs Through It Plein Air Watercolors by Bertie Brown

A River Runs Through It

original plein air landscape: 10" x 14"

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!

Veggie Tails Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Veggie Tails

original watercolor still life with veggies, sunflowers: 10" x 14"

it’s relative-ly

a new work, you see 

with something that’s old

and shapes big and bold

yet some that are new

with int’resting hues

borrowed from yet

a past series set

hmmm...

it’s deja vu

for the veggie tail blues!
