T-Bone Deeanna
original watercolor musician: 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 music, of course
and sunflowers, sure
and people and more
from still lifes of yore
it’s funny, you know
when themes just won’t go
and my artwork shows
my real life also

Ali Helps Out
original watercolor: 8" x 10"
Chicken Tricks
You cannot be chicken
If you do some paintin'
Unless you are thinkin’
You’d like a good lickin’
‘Cause just when that pic
Starts lookin' good, quick
As a wink it can sink
Into mud
And you're done

The RedHead

Eminent Domain
is eminent domain
something finches disdain
as they each stake their claim
to my sunflowers’ fame
don’t they have a clue
i have etiquette rules
they routinely eschew
behaving so RUDE
i’d tell them to flee
‘cause they’re making a scene
and a mess at my feet
spitting shells from their beaks
but they are rather cute
in their black and gold suits
and their hollers and hoots
sound like piccolo flutes!

The ChickClique
original watercolor sunflowers
My Backyard Sauna
It’s a sunflower sauna
and my flora and fauna
are roasting and toasting
there’s even some boasting
“Oh back in the day
in Savannah, I’d say
twas a’ hundred and three
under a live oak tree
I, no sunflower,
just a seed, don’t ya see
had a great aching need
to flee to PA
where I’d hoped to someday
join the sunflower parade
as a backyard summer guest
at BB’s Sunflower Fest”
well, that was my quest
now I’m part of the crew
and it’s hot up here too
so we’re growling as we’re toweling....
Shoulda moved to Kalamazoo

The BeezKneez
original watercolor bees: 8" x 10"
Here we come
Chargin’ to the park
we’re gonna get there real early
While it’s still pretty dark
Hey, hey we’re the Beezers
We’ve got a lot of work yet to do
We have to sell ourselves all to you
So we better get hangin’
Ourselves in the Bertie Brown Booth!

GoldenDoodleDandy
original watercolor pet portrait: 10" x 10"
The Doodle's in charge
and that really means
he's been ev’rywhere
well that’s how it seems
it’s nat’ral you know
‘cause curiously
most pets are the same
they’re curious you see
so if there’s a change
some diff’rent design
he's gonna be there
to make sure all's fine

DiCaprio
original watercolor lion: 8" x 10"
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
but you save it by luck

Tony Soprano

sporting really sharp claws

Janeane Giraffalo
original watercolor giraff: 9" x 12"
just keep tryin’, you say
so that’s what I do
not cease and desist
that’s never the way...
to break through the fray
you gotta hang tough
and paint every day
talent’s just not enough

BradleyBoon
original watercolor babboon: 8" x 10"
And the baboon mused
to his buddies in the zoo
why can’t we simply try
to lay our views aside
let’s get along to day
‘cause that’s the better way
to live in peace and harmony
will benefit us all, you see

TwoDudes
original watercolor painters: 8" x 10"
we’ve got the blues
that’s certainly true
but we’ve also got
‘magination, a lot!
so natur-ally
when house painters pose
i gotta suppose
a painting will show
so here are those dudes
painting red/white and blues
on ladders, up stairs
with flourish and flair!
