Glamour Girls Sunflower Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Glamour Girls

original watercolor sunflowers: 8" x 10"

in the beginning

we all loved the sun

we couldn’t get enough

we were never quite “done”

our faces were bronzed

our hair sun-streaked gold

our innocence reigned

we’d never grow old

but time has a way

a mean streak, I’d say,

of hastening the days

that youth does betray

so now that we’re old

or older, to whit,

we’re gonna wise up

and use sunscreen, if only a  bit...

Un-yuns Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Un-yuns

original watercolor onions: 8" x 10"

beaches are fine

for sand, surf and tides

soaked in brilliant sunshine

but BB's backyard

has it's own unique kind

of charm that I find

exceptional, why?

because it's entirely

and completely all mine!

Sunbathers Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Sunbathers

original watercolor onions: 10" x 13"

yes, things are askew

but that’s acceptable, too

‘cause when it’s called art

reality departs

and my point of view

might convince even you

that some things can be

true for both you and me

Summer Blues Cruise

there’s plenty to do 

in summer it’s true

but sometimes I must

simply adjust

my take on all work

and shirk all that work

take time to relax

look forward, think back

embrace solitude

consider my ‘tude

it’s summertime blues

let's enjoy the cruise

Wild and Crazy Girls

My wild and crazy girls

Their golden manes unfurled

Are doin’ the Lindy Hop

A dance they like a lot

Over/under,  push and pull

Oh they are such dancin’ fools

The waltz is good for other girls

Who want to keep their perfect curls

But my girls do not really care

About the state of their fair hair

Nor do they ever fret

If they break out in sweat 

‘Cause my girls in the sun

Just wanna have fun!

Cold Front

The windows I’m closin’

my sunflowers 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 fudgesicle pops

but truth to be told

it’s just good to feel cold!

The Belly Deli

original watercolor sunflowers: 9" x 12

The girls are back

Dressed in gold and black

 Relaxing, sunbathing

With birds and bees waiting

For a nectar and seed tasting

it’s a bevy of bellies

In my backyard Belly Deli
