Sunflwer Alley Sunflower Field Watercolor by Daily Painter Bertie Brown

Sunflower Alley

original watercolor sunflower field: 12" x 10"

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 pull split and spit

the shells that they fling

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!

Musically SUPERIOR Instrumental Watercolors by Daily Painter Bertie Brown

Musically SUPERIOR

original musical instrument watercolor with shells/feathers: 15" x 18"

the task of the horn

is to cast off all scorn

and proudly display

his technical ways

like a peacock, he struts

all his finery stuff

and if that’s not enough

he’ll wail in disgust

his penchant for flair

and the star he won’t share

says he’s come a great way

from his conch shell-y brays!

Water Girl Abstract Watercolors by Daily Painter Bertie Brown

Water Girl

original abstract watercolor: 15" x 18"

I think it’s done

and I had fun

‘though there were some

solutions that

to be exact

were just a tad

surprising, so

I really hope

it’s fit to show

if not, 

you’ve got

to let me know......

Good Vibrations

I love the way

on a late August day

 the sun reaches down

to gather around

my sunflower girls

with their golden yellow curls

and their skirts made of leaves

swaying in the breeze...

The birds of the air

and the insects working there

create a vibration

a vibrato celebration

as they all harmonize

their praise to the skies...

I’m thankful just to be

by this shimmering sea

and grateful to hear

this music of the spheres

Show Off Musical Instrument Watercolor by daily Painter Bertie Brown

Show Off

original musical instrument watercolor with horn, violin: 15" x 15"

the task of the horn

is to cast off all scorn

and proudly display

his technical ways

like a peacock, he struts

all his finery stuff

and if that’s not enough

 he departs in a huff

his penchant for flair

and the star he won’t share

reminds me of one

who should be expunged!

Askew to You Still Life Watercolors by Daily Painter Bertie Brown

Askew to You

original atill life watercolor with horn: 15" x 15"

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

And Yet

My sunflower girlfriends

have taken their bows

their reign at an end

the show has closed now 

the summer stage crew

is striking the sets

takes a minute or two

tearing down all that’s left

a new show’s beginning

cool winds are approaching

autumn’s edgier tone

and pride is encroaching

there’s a sharp dialogue

burnt sienna, scarlet hue

and biting monologue

with a punchline, cobalt blue

I’m open, looking on

taking in the dry wit

wishing summer’s last song

would linger, just a bit

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 don’t request

Baubles and Bells Musical Instrument Watercolors by Daily painter Bertie Brown

Baubles and Bells

original musical instrument watercolor w/horn: 15"x 15"

for prints click: BertieSmugmug

back in the day

I remember we played

with marbles and jacks

and baseballs and bats

but sometimes I recall

though I tried hard to stall 

I had to apply

my  lip 

to the tip

of my tarnished old horn

and try not to sound

too bad or forlorn

much later I found

practice, patience plus time

would greatly improve

my horn teacher’s mood!
