Eggstra Fine Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Eggstra Fine

original watercolor still life w/sunflower/teapot/eggs: 9" x 12"

I keep pressing on

‘cause that’s what I do

to see what comes next

with a painting or two

there’s music, of course

and sunflowers, sure

with pitchers and more

from still lifes of yore

it’s funny, you know

when themes just won’t go

and my artwork shows

my real life also

PitStop Watercolors by Bertie Brown

PitStop

original watercolor still life w/lemons, lime, teapot: 9" x 12"

from Studio B

yes, her time has come

to get the lead out

and get these things done

we know that they’re small

 and quirky, that too

plus, they’re priced to sell

you need one, don’t you?

RolledGold Watercolors by Bertie Brown

RolledGold

original watercolor still life w/pitcher, lemons, lime: 8" x 8"

It ain’t heavy

it’s my stuff

I said in a huff

but I think I know

that some things I must

get rid of without

too much of a fuss

tis 2026

which will totally be

what I make it, you see

good bad or ugly!

The Redskin Watercolors by Bertie Brown

The Redskin

original watercolor onions: 8" x 8"

Sophie says

BB what’cha doin’?

BB says

lookin’ all around

and this is what I’ve found

the fact is this

I’ve made a list

of works I love

that did not miss

the mark I set

for sure success

and though I know

bragadocio

is not allowed

I’ll not be cowed

I’ve got a LOT

that hit the spot

that’s great, you say

but not so, hey

It’s hard to paint

more-better-best

‘cause that’s a test

i can't take yet!

The Muse Watercolors by Bertie Brown

The Muse

original watercolor with horn/Beethoven bust: 15" x 18"

Practice makes better

But perfect?

Not ever...

Especially if horn playing

Is what you can do

You’ll prob’ly improve

But that’s questionable, too

My advice to you

Buy a French Horn Kazoo!

SunnyD Sunflower Watercolors by Bertie Brown

SunnyD

original watercolor sunflowers/fruit: 10" x 14"

Sophie and I know

that sometimes it’s best

to simply allow

a painting to rest

it may not be done

though there are intense

and beautiful hues

that seem to make sense

we want to be sure

we have to confess

that this work secures

it’s soulful-ishness
