Fruit o' the Bloom Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Fruit o' the Bloom

original watercolor still life w/sunflowers, fruit: 9" x 12"

Weather Blues

oh, how i long 

for June or July

and summer sunshine

filling the sky

this season is cold 

it’s gettin' so old

with rain fairly seepin'

through all, i'm just weepin'

i’m still sportin' wristies

and sweaters indoors

i tell you i’m beggin’

for June at the shore

each year winter's gettin’

too hard to endure

while summer sits back

and just takes a nap

Round-about Sunflower Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Round-about

original watercolor still life w/apples, bananas, sunflowers: 10" x 14"

Florida's fine

for beaches and tides

soaked in brilliant sunshine

but Sunflower Alley

has it's own unique kind

of charm that I find

exceptional, why?

because it's all mine!

Valen-time Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Valen-Time

original watercolor still life w/sunflowers, fruit: 10" x 14"

absolutely resolute

i’m absolutely certain

some truth is indisputable

and strictly put imputable

so don’t go all refutable

i don’t want your rebuttable 

that verbal hyper babbable

you’re so above reproachable

and also un-correctable

see that’s just irresponsible

and truly indefensible

we all could be sympatico

if y’all weren’t so emphatico

Rhythm & Blues Series (bottles, bowls, apples) by Bertie Brown Watercolor Still Life

Rhythm & Blues

original:14"w x 13 1/2"h

Rhythm & Blues

A bottle once buried in sand

Shells found on the beach

Fabric patterns, colors, and folds

Form rhythms the objects now hold

And the color blue

An important element too

All conjure up an image

Of sea upon dry land.

Rhapsody

“Rhapsody in Blue”

Was our music today

Sophie and I thrilled

To the opening way

That the clarinet soared

Through that octave and more...

We set up a still life

With lots of great blues

We have so much fabric

It’s hard just to choose

Then added some apples

Three bottles, two bowls

On top of the fabric

With plenty of folds

We hummed to the tunes

While painting till noon

Sophie, my rhapsody

In tap dancin’ shoes

Gerschwin and Orchestra

Playin’ his blues!

To the opening way

That the clarinet soared

Through that octave and more...

We set up a still life

With lots of great blues

We have so much fabric

It’s hard just to choose

Then added some apples

A lemon and mug

And threw some old brushes

Into a jug

We hummed to the tunes

While painting till noon

Sophie, my rhapsody

In tap dancin’ shoes

Gerschwin and Orchestra

Playin’ his blues!
