The Woman at the Well Watercolors by Bertie Brown

The Woman at the Well

original watercolor still life: 15" x 15"

High Maintenance

what ho!

i just want to know

where did the years go

and my body….also

oh

   back in the day

i simply must say

hard work had a way

of  keeping at bay

those inches that stay

in places that…hey!

i don’t like today

i’m feeling betrayed

hence this, my tirade

i cannot evade

old age, i’m afraid

this is my refrain

you’re young…i’ll explain

the fact does remain

it’s HARD to maintain…

The Woman at the Well Watercolors by Bertie Brown

The Woman at the Well

original watercolor abstract: 14" x 15"

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

with pitchers 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

Symphonetics Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Symphonics

original watercolor abstract musical instruments: 10" x 14"

now we got some sun

today by the way

and sun is the best

on a COLD snowy day

and since it is March

this snow maybe may

take its cue and embark

on a trip far away

and PLEASE take these temps

so frizzin’ low down

do make them exempt 

from this PA town

‘cause we’re all just done

with winter wonderlands

we yearn for WARM sun

and beaches….and sand

Symphony Season Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Symphony Season

original watercolor w/instruments: 12" x 15"

The Maestro’s Woes

Horns near the backdrop

The Strings own the front spots

Right in the center

Are the Woodwind renters

Drums and percussion

Beat out the instructions

Harp and Celesta 

Join in their discussions...

Playing together for better or worse

Learning the music

They all must rehearse

Perfecting rhythms

Some tricky, some fun

All of the orchestra

Playing as one...

Allegretto

Meno mosso

And Con Brio, too

Mezzo, Piano, Fortissimo Piu

We love all those ways 

To play!

Tubas and trombones

Will fight for their turf

Oboes with puffed cheeks

Look ready to burst

Flutes, Clarinets

The Violas, Trumpets

All so polite 

As they try not to fight.....

Instruments waiting for Maestro to cue

Watching the down beat

His hand in their view

A Violin shrieks

A clarinet squeaks

Scowls from the Maestro

But onward they go...

When notes don’t sing

From the high Strings

Or a horn butts in

The music continues

The Maestro in tow

The audience shouts

“Bravo!”

SunFish Abstract Watercolors by Daily Painter Bertie Brown

SunFish

original abstract watercolor: 11" 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!

Water Girl Abstract Watercolors by Daily Painter Bertie Brown

Water Girl

original abstract watercolor: 15" x 18"

I think it’s done

and I had fun

‘though there were some

solutions that

to be exact

were just a tad

surprising, so

I really hope

it’s fit to show

if not, 

you’ve got

to let me know......
