Sophie Watercolor Portrait by Daily Painter Bertie Brown - Art is Instrumental
Sophie
watercolor portrait
R E S T
I bet you don’t know
that 4 letter word
spelled R-E-S-T
is the absolute worst
as a bad word it’s first (!)
according to Sophie
who knows at BB’s
she makes all the rules
‘cause she is no fool
she just has to say
PopPop BB come, play
and we both obey
and play all the day!

Annabelle Watercolor Portrait by Daily Painter Bertie Brown - Art is Insrumental
Annabelle
watercolor portrait: 4 1/2" x 7"
Well
Annabelle
your first year is done
you’re almost grown up
at age number one!
what a great time you’ve had
and I’m happy, yet sad
‘cause I’ve missed you a lot
but I know that you’ve got
the best mom and dad
you ever could have
and I’m confidant that
you’re up for the task
(without sounding trite)
you’ll raise them up right!

Inherent Transparency Watercolor Eggplants and Pumpkin by Daily Painter Bertie Brown - Art is Instrumental
Inherent Transparency
original watercolor eggplants/pumpkin: 7" x 7"
as summer languished
in translucent honey haze
autumn revives
with transparent amber days
while indigo ink nights
blanket mile-high starry skies
and cooler winds collide
pushing summer’s heat aside
from translucent to transparent
these transitions are apparent
seasons come and seasons go...
nature’s cycle so inherent

And Yet
My sunflower girlfriends
have taken their bows
the show has now closed
their reign at an end
the summer stage crew
is striking the sets
tearing down, sweeping up
not much left to do
cool winds are approaching
a new show’s in the wing
autumn’s edgier tone
and pride is encroaching
there’s a sharp dialogue
burnt sienna, cobalt blue
with a punchline, scarlet red
a biting monologue
I’m open, looking on
taking in the dry wit
yet wishing for just
one more summer song

Endless Summer Watercolor Still Life Series by Daily Painter Bertie Brown - Art is Instrumental
Endless Summer
original watercolor still life w/basket, shells: 23" x 22
(last in a series)
what ho
Sophie and I
just want to know
who turned off the heat
and dimmed the lights low
where are the wool socks for our feet
our cashmere sweaters and turtlenecks
who said summer could retreat?
we are cold and so distressed
why can’t winter last one week
it’s time I guess
to hibernate
until next June
and we both hope
that comes real soon!
