The WhiteHouse Watercolors by Bertie Brown

The Whitehouse

original watercolor home portrait: 8" x 10"

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!

Poppies on the Pike Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Poppies on the Pike

original watercolor poppies: 8" x 10"

Poppies

Curvaceous long legs

Popping up from their beds

With ruffled petticoats flouncing

Such perky orange heads!

They do the Pizzicato Polka

It’s the right dance for them

As they twirl and spin around

On those long and curvy stems!

The MartinMylin Homestead Watercolors by Bertie Brown

The MartinMylin Homestead

original watercolor home portrait: 9" x 12"

Yikes-eez

it’s 2000-23

where did the year go

Sophie and I just want to know!

it was over so quick

we didn’t have time to think

now we’ve gotta catch up

our paintings need poems

either long or abrupt

so please don’t interrupt

until we’re caught up

Bloomin' June Plein Air Watercolors by Bertie Brown

 Lemon Yellow

Bloomin' June

original plein air watercolors w/Conestoga House  Sunroom and Gardens: 9" x 12"

the June flower guild

is in this backyard

it’s a wallflower farm

with plenty of charm

there’s rose in the glow

of this sumptuous show

as the finches and bees

in their feasting agree

so let’s have some fun

before summer’s done

we’ve one month or two

to enjoy the view!

Spring is in the Air Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Spring is in the Air

original watercolor home portrait: 10" x 14"

twas the night before “Stella”

and all through the land

the creatures were shopping

buying milk, bread and spam

the forecast rang true

that nor’easter barreled through

and those inches of snow

gave us all lots to do

so today as I search

for some good stuff to eat

finding bread, milk and ‘meat’

doesn’t sound like a treat

so the next time they cry

“Snowstorm Comin’ ”, i’ll buy

donuts, popcorn, french fries

 sparkling wine and moon pies….

Home Sweet Home Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Home Sweet Home

original home portrait: 9" x12"

it’s relative-ly

a new work, you see 

with a subject 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 the home with a view!
