Veggie Tails Watercolor Still Life by Pennsylvania Daily Painter Bertie Brown - Art is Instrumental

Veggie Tails

original watercolor still life/vegetables: 14" x 11"

Sophie said, “Let’s do a painting today."

We’ll use some veggies

With plenty to say

There at the groc’ry store

Dark and demure

Eggplants so purple

Their beauty secure

Then there were peppers

No they were not schleppers

Showing their colors

Like proud Irish mothers

Yellow and orange

Are some that we chose

Also some red hots

And greens that were not

Yes, let’s buy them

Not to fry them

But to show the world

Their outspoken beauty

It’s really our duty

To capture their clean

Bright sheen!

Golf Logix

original watercolor landscape/golf course: 7"h x 11"w

addicted and afflicted

golfers are funny

their demeanors rarely sunny

it seems they’re addicted

and undeniably afflicted

with an un-named disease

or “condition” if you please

that affects their whole being

and fogs up their seeing

when out on the course

where a high score’s the source

of a golfer’s remorse......

Amber Waves of Grain

original watercolor landscape with fields and barn: 11"w x 7"h

Summer Beginnings

Lancaster County’s fertile ground

It’s color a rich-hued cocoa brown

Yielding fields of ripened summer wheat

A vision of cinnamon so sweet

Sprinkled atop golden buttered toast....

The morning sun a perfect host

To celebrate the season I like the most

OBX Overtures

original watercolor sunset seascape/OBX: 11"w x 7"h

Mid-Summer Romance

A time to relax

To look forward, think back...

Jasmine and Honeysuckle

Scents of seduction

Flirting Firefly winks

Quick bursts of combustion

Warm summer nights

A cashmere caress

Sun-draped daylight

Cotton gauze, dazzling white

It’s summer’s sun-dance

Ahhh,

My summer romance.....

Fond Farewells

Farewell

So long, adieu

We're sad to leave this great view

What a treat to be here

With the ocean so near.

So we say our good-byes

To the wild waves and tides.

Though we won’t miss the winds....

That’s a whole ‘nother thing!

Home Again

Golden sunflowers have welcomed me home.

What a change from blue-green tides

And white sea-foam!

l’ll miss the rumbling surf

Now I’m home on Lancaster County turf.

But I’ll cherish the treasures

Of sun, sand and sea pleasures,

With memories of family time

Which cannot be measured............

A Lancaster County Farm

With Golden Guernsey Charm....

Fields of corn and wheat

Orderly and straight

A house tidy, neat

A picket fence and gate

A big red barn

Guernsey cows and Guinea hens

Support the farm

From their stalls and pens

And sunflowers grow tall

To welcome one and all...

Plein Air Posers

Sophie and I

Are painting plein air

Under bright sunny skies

On a day so fair

Our sunflowers primp and preen

While we apply the sunscreen

Then get right to work

As we quench our paper’s thirst

With lots of water, that’s our technic

‘Cause happy accidents are what we seek!

Bleeding colors, water marks

Lights contrasting with darkest darks...

Working quickly, we’re in a hurry

(We try not to worry

Will this be a keeper

Or one we will bury?)

Well, Sophie girl

What do you think

She nodded and smiled

And gave me a wink!

Veggie Tails

original watercolor still life with vegetables: 8"w x 9"h

Veggie Tales

A Vegetable Tail

Is the tip of a root

That thrived as it grew

Hidden from view

Though some roots are inedible

Others taste incredible...

From the stem to the tail

A few never fail

To brighten my plate

With flavor so great!

(I’m excluding kale

But that’s a whole 'nother tale)

Pepper Polka

original watercolor still life with vegetables: 10"w x 12"

Pepper Patter

Peppers here, peppers there

Peppers poppin’ everywhere

Some are yellow

Some serene green

All are mellow

Laid back fellows

Let’s not stop

With that mild lot

Let’s get HOT

And that means RED

The big red bell?

Well, probably not

But you can tell

Those small hot shots

Are packin’ heat

That’s tough to beat!

Fabric of Our Lives Series (Eggplants, Pumpkins, Peppers) by Bertie Brown

Fabric of Our Lives

original: 21 1/2"w x 17 1/2"h

Sophie Says

Hey there Sophie

What can we say

Of this painting

That is waiting

For a clever

word endeavor

Tying everything together to the letter

We’ve got eggplants

Pumpkins, peppers

Doin’ dances

Stealin’ glances

Some romantic

Silly antics

All in view of stodgy bottles with those long necks.

Did we mention

That cute donkey

A slow stepper

To the pepper

And those patterns

Folds and colors

Help unite the veggies all to one another...

Busy Being Beets By Bertie Brown

Busy Being Beets

11"w x 14"h

Busy Being Beets

Sophie and I

Were shopping for clues

What could we possibly

Paint that is new

We passed by the eggplants

With nary a glance

We‘ve done them before

Those radishes next door

Were also a boor...

But then Sophie spied

From the corner of her eye

Red beets in a bunch

And she had hunch

Their leaves were so busy

Dancing this way and that

She said we should paint them

And work really fast!

We finished the painting

Our energy waning

We needed a nap

And knew it was time

To end this short rhyme...

Radish Recital

Sophie said, Lets use our new paints today

Carmine and Windsor blue

Areolin too

What could we paint

With our trio so quaint

Radishes, I think, would work out just great...

Wet applications

Give us saturations

Int-resting patterns

With water and spatters

Red, blue and yellow

Make fine pallet-fellows

Radishes Blush

Their round cheeks red and lush...

And the foliage

Green and gold-ish

Finish off the work

The radishes vital

A rich red recital

Is now on display

Today!
