The English Country Cottage
original watercolor house portrait: 8" x 10"
Practice makes better
But perfect?
Not ever...
Especially if painting
Is what you can do
You’ll prob’ly improve
But that’s questionable, too
My advice to you
Buy a Bertie Brown or two!

The SnowGeezers
original watercolor snow geese: 8" x 10:
we’ve got the blues
that’s certainly true
but we’ve also got
‘magination, a lot!
so natur-ally
when snow geezers show
and strike up a pose
we get out our paints
and ask them to wait!

Charlize Heron Too
original watercolor heron: 8" x 10"
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!

Charlize Heron
original watercolor heron: 8" x 10"
it’s relative-ly
a new work, you see
with something that’s old
a shape big and bold
and some that are new
with int’resting hues
borrowed from yet
a past series set
hmmm...
it’s deja vu
for those orange and blues

The Little Yellow House in E-town
original watercolor house portrait:8" x 10"
there’s def’nitely
a space for me
in this new year
as this I see
more work to do
with more thought to
creative ways
that hit the mark
of ending well
a well thought start

The Blues Brothers
original watercolor brass trio: 22" x 15"
Brass Class
Its a well known fact
That a trio of brass
Is hard to beat
In terms of class.
And favorite things
Are not much better
Not chocolate or cheese cake
Nor lobster or steak
Not mountains or beaches
Nor clear mountain lakes
Not cool drinks in summer
Nor hot drinks at all
Not even sun-showers
That grow my sunflowers
The one thing that’s better
Than a classy Brass Trio
would certainly be
A Mozart Horn Solo..

The Seychelles Too
original watercolor sea shells: 7" x 7"
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

The Seychelles
original watercolor sea shells: 9" x 12"
oh to be
by the sea
just my fam’ly and me
sunblocked nose
bug sprayed toes
sunning responsibly
grasses sway
sand dunes say
join all nature at play
roaring surf
sandy turf
it’s a Seychelles day!

Juno's Crew
original watercolor landscape and gardener: 9" x 12"
sometimes when I doubt
and nothing is clear
my horn just comes out
and a painting appears!
but sometimes it’s true
other subjects are fun
and some I can do
quite quickly tis true
of course there are times
when plein air’s the way
and sunny warm climes
mean a landscape paint day!

BuzzBoys
original watercolor bees 'n flowers: 8" x 10"
i keep pressing on
‘cause that’s what I do
to see what comes next
with a painting or two
there’s sunnies, of course
and beezers for sure
with mem'ries of yore
and summertime lore
it’s funny, you know
when themes just won’t go
and my artwork shows
my real life also

PuppyLove
original watercolor pet portrait: 8" x 10"
there’s more to see
from Studio B
‘cause there’s never enuff
paintings of stuff
specific-ally
a Golden puppy
at rest he may be
for a brief time, you see
