Cold Play Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Cold Play

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

Sophie’s Sun Sack

remember back when

we played in the sun

yes summer was then

days so full of fun

and do you recall

you looked up to ask

could we pack it all

up tight in a sack

we’d store it away

then open that pack

on a cold winter’s day

for a sun bathing nap!

Pot 'o Posies Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Pot 'o Posies

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

there could be misconceptions

some slight depth perceptions

a misappropriation

with no negotiation

i will not enhance

renounce at a glance

embellish or squellish

not even a chance

it just filled a day

in the neighborhood i’d say

so onward i press

in search of success…

More Trebled Times Watercolors by Bertie Brown

More Trebled Times

original watercolor musical motif w/bassoon, clarinet, oboe, flute:10" x 14"

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 if it’s not fit 

or off just a bit

ignore if you please

this mucical scene

City of Light Watercolors by Bertie Brown

City of Light

original watercolor instruments w/clarinet. oboe, bassoon, horn, flute, strings: 11" x 15"

A View From the High C’s

Is where I’ll be

With sketchbook in hand

Though it’s not what I planned

As I once took my place

In the second horn space

Or I  played in the band

Or a show

With the pit crew way below...

But this view’s not so bad

There’s no stress to be had

Here in the Fulton’s lofty lairs

Above the balcony

And second stairs

Now the music that surrounds

These halls and abounds

Gives my paintings their sound

And I’m glad just to see

This view from the high C’s...

NY State of Mind Watercolors by Bertie Brown

NY State of Mind

original watercolor cityscape/ NY: 12" x 16"

Play Away

it’s really okay

to chill out and play

we all know we should

(that is understood)

but still we forget

and totally get

ourselves in fun debt

we think if we could 

buy us some fun

then surely we would 

feel wonderf’ly good

City of Lights Watercolors by Bertie Brown

City of Lights

original watercolor w/horn, clarinet, oboe, flute: 11" x 14"

Quints Jam

The woodwind Quintet

Is surprised and upset

That a brass French Horn-et

Is allowed on their set

But the French Horn explained

While the Woodwinds complained

That his rich rounded sound

Keeps the Woodwinds anchored down

So they changed all their plans

And that’s how it began

For the “Woodwind Quints Jam”!
