Quints' Jam Musical Motif Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Quint's Jam

original musical motif watercolor w/woodwind quintet: 15" x 18"

a musician displays 

exhibitionist ways

but it’s all okay

‘cause music filled days

and nights do remain

quite high on our list

of things we like best

so please don’t insist

we cease and desist!

Curiosity Portraits in Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Curiosity

original portraits in various sizes

curiouser and curiouser

it seems to me

this summer’s the bomb

at flirting, you see

‘cause just when you feel

a cool  weightless breeze

a sun so friendly

you’re relaxin’ indeed

a thick hulking cloud 

of hu-MID-ity

descends with a shout

and spreads itself out

oh yes there’s the rub

to summer time fun

those idyllic days

are here and then gone.......

Carousing Com-posers Sunflower Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Carousing Com-posers

original watercolor sunflowers: 22" x18"

at the far end of summer

I woke up to see

my sunflower soiree

in tatters and seeds

the birdies and bees

and butterfly-ees

so curiously

were packing to flee

seems nectar so sweet

that thirst quenching treat

was gone completely

said their twitters and tweets

so I’m left behind

with nothing but time

that’s filled to the brim

with memories of them....

at the far end of summer

I so want to be

at the beginning of spring

Cavalier Com-posers Sunflower Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Cavalier Com-posers

original watercolor sunflowers: 15" x 22"

Cavalier about Cheer

my sunflower girls 

have got to admit

they long for a world

where they could just sit

a minute or two

and rest up a bit

they’ve got but one shoe

though it’s a great fit

their long leggy-ness

can cause some back strain

and slight dizzy-ness

or dull aching pain

but stand there they do

displaying such cheer

for one month or two

this time of the year

it’s quite cavalier

and exhausting, I fear!

Cavorting Com-posers

original watercolor sunflowers: 9" x 12"

oh my girls

with their curls

gossip all the day long

giggles here

sniggles there

oh the secrets they share

she’s a lush

then they blush

oh it’s all so unjust

when it comes 

to their chum

they say she’s come undone

so I must 

paint and just

let them gab without fuss

it’s in jest

I just bet

though I’ve got no proof yet...

Cavorting Com-posers Sunflower Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Cavorting Com-posers

original watercolor sunflowers: 15" x 22"

my sunflowers are done

their petals are gone

though the finches, I see

are still havin’ fun

they no longer cling

to those sunflower rims

to split and to spit

the shells that they’ve bit

they just take their seats

at the table..a feast!

it’s the best buffet yet

for those finches, I bet

‘tis a glorious thing

as I hear them all sing

but for me, I just fret

‘cause autumn comes next...

Summer Bliss Still Life Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Summer Bliss

original still life watercolor w/pitchers, bottles, tea pot: 22" x 22"

Summer Bliss

My windows are open

Cool breezes are flowin’

My curtains are flirtin'

With the sill and the sash 

This is the way

A fine summer day

Ought always to be 

For two months or three....

Suites me perfectly

I bet you’d agree!
