Bottle o'Wine Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Bottle 'oWine

Cold Storage

twas time to relax

and take in the sight

of figs back to back

huddling tight

seems they were just cold

‘though this autumn's plight

had less bite, I’m told

and surely “they're" right!

but autumn  it is

and figsare like me

it’s summer we miss

on that we agree

Glassified Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Glassified

original watercolor still life w/violin, horn, glass: 11" x 15"

Cold Front

The windows I’m closin’

my flowers need  hosin’

it’s blisterin hot

not one cold spot

‘cept here by the door

of the freezer in the store

where I pretend to stock up

on creamsicle pops

but truth to be told

it’s just good to feel cold!

Spring Musical

oh spring

is the thing

we hope for in November

long for in December

lose in January

right through February

cry for in March

die for in April

can’t wait one more day

for the merry month of May

and still cold temps cling

to every bloomin’ thing!

so when the month of June

bursts suddenly into view

I look around and smile

PLEASE stay with me awhile

Glass Menagerie Still Life Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Glass Menagerie

original still life watercolor w/glass, bottles: 15" x 20"

Ode To An Old Friend

what ho

where did the years go

we just can’t be fixed

here at decade #6

not young nor carefree

we must learn to see

determin-edly

through love-filtered lens

ourselves as OLD friends!

we’ve been through a lot

those flashes were hot!

but give in, we’re not

we’ve got some regrets

but that stuff’s no sweat

where once we had pimples

we’re now sporting wrinkles

our firm derrieres 

have gone off elsewheres

our chests and our chins?

they’ve sunk to our shins

and do you remember

well

can you recall

anything you need to

anything at all?

but still we can laugh

at some high school gaffe

and reminisce by the hours

the good, bad, ugly

while we sit and smugly

think we’ve now arrived

o're 60, we’ve survived

and we’re not the faintest

nor least bit surprised...

Rhythm 'n Blues Still Life Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Rhythm 'n Blues

original watercolor still life w/bottles, bowl, shells: 11" x 14"

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 rhythm 'n blues!

Beauty Queens

original still life watercolor w/bottles, bowls, donkey: 18" x 23"

the donkey is back

though he’s not exact-

ly the star of this show

but i think he knows

and somehow his walk-

through leads us along

there’s rhythm in blues

from his point of view

Feelin' Blue Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Feelin' Blue

original still life watercolor w/blue bowl, bottles, donkey: 18" x 23"

we’ve got the blues,

Sophie, me too

it’s still too cold

but what can we do

I think we’ll paint

a still life today

until those blues

they just go away…..
