Climb Up Sunshine Mountain Watercolors by Daily Painter Bertie Brown

Climb Up Sunshine Mountain

original watercolor: 8" x 11"

that trusty old ass

tramps over the grass

as golden sun rays

dance through autumn days

I’m happy it shines

on your plants and mine

this season’s not bad

I hasten to add

that donkey’s like me

‘cause we both agree

we’ll miss these warm temps

as winter comes next...

Trio in Brassy Glass Musical Watercolors by Daily Painter Bertie Brown

Trio in Brassy Glass

original musical instrument watercolor w/horn, trumpet, trombone: 11" x 14"

menage a trois

if the trombone’s in charge

the trumpet won’t play

the horn won’t say

if he’ll go or stay

such is the way

our world behaves today

compromise is out

dissonance has clout

there could be peace and harmony

‘cause trios can play charming-ly

Alice Through the Looking Glass

original watercolor abstract: 11" x 8"

while summer bathed

in translucent honey haze

autumn arrives

with transparent amber days

indigo nights

blanket lofty star-filled skies

as cooler winds collide

pushing summer’s heat aside

from translucent to transparent

these transitions are apparent

seasons come and seasons go

each with it’s own unique show

Rockport Blues Watercolors by Daily Painter Bertie Brown

Rockport Blues

original watercolor still lifew/bottle, books: 8" x 11"

with summer concludin'

my house is exudin'

a welcoming style

so do come on in

and visit awhile

I’ll put on some tunes

how’s Beethoven for you?

and we can create

our own unique view

in my small art room

I’ve got Rockport blues

in a bottle or two

a napkin that’s new

and Salem Witch balls

in colorful hues

So if you’ve got time

and paint, any kind

( you could borrow mine)

the still life’s set up

and looks so sublime

Glassy Brass Watercolors by Daily Painter Bertie Brown

Glassy Eye

original watercolor/horn: 6" x 9"

Glassy Brass/Trumpet

original watercolor/horn: 6" x 9"

Glassy Brass/Horn

original watercolor/horn: 4" x 7" 

Going Solo

The horn stands alone

Neither lost nor forlorn

Just a confident fellow

Shiny outside

Inside, mellow

Its song is quite melodious

With notes that soar

But can be somewhat odious

When notes don’t sound so sure

One thing is certain

With a rising stage curtain

The horn likes to play

The solos he’s given

In a most excellent way!

Rockport Rhapsody

original watercolor seascape/Rockport, MA: 11" x 8"

Rockport Rhapsody

original watercolor seascape/Rockport, MA: 11" x 8"

Symphony in Sea Major

Lobster buoys afloat

Lighthouses as beacons

 Decorating the coast

Sublime northern light

Enveloping the sights

While dancing on tides

Tossing boats and floats

From side to side

Cormorants and gulls

Line up on the rocks

By the boats, or the docks

As they noisily wait

For some leftover bait

Granite boulders endure

Protecting the shore

Applauding the sea

BRAVO!

What a glorious symphony!

Morning Glory Motif #1 Seascape Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Morning Glory/Motif #1

original watercolor/Motif  #1, Rockport, MA: 11" x 8"

Buoy Joy

Buoys will be buoys

In all shapes and sizes

Just like us girls

Despite our disguises

Buoys are like boxers

Ducking and weaving

Treading ocean waters

With strong currents heaving

The stripes that they wear

Go round and around

They look quite rotund

 But they don’t much care

They do a sun dance

Giving tides not a glance

They’re anchored from below

And they won’t let go

They do their job joyously

Behaving so buoy-ishly!

Rockport Rhapsody Rockport, MA Watercolors by Daily Painter Bertie Brown

Rockport Rhapsody

original watercolor seascape/Rockport, MA: 11" x 7"

Lobsterman Shacks

Floats, traps

Lobsterman snacks

Ropes, tacks

Fishing knick-knacks

Boots, slickers

Lobsterman knickers

I bet there’s a place 

For trusty duct tape

And WD 40

They’ve got it, surely

All this and more

Behind windows and doors

Filling crannies and nooks

And hanging on hooks

So remember this stuff 

When you’re all in a huff

As you pay lots of bucks

For that Lobster you thought

cost way too darn much

At the boat dock co-op!

My Motif #1

original watercolor/Motif #1, Rockport, MA: 11" x 7"

Rockport Fever

Sophie and I 

Are planning a trip

To Gloucester and Rockport 

And, yes, Bearskin Neck

We’ll gaze at the ocean

Climb over the rocks

Paint Motif Number One

At the edge of the docks

We’ll dip our big toe

In the cold ocean water

Go swimming???

Are you kidding

It’s gotta get hotter

We’ll head to Pigeon Cove

Walk the breakwater high above

Then buy fresh lobster

At the Co-op down below

With more things to do 

More scenes to be viewed

We’ll need much more time

Than the plan we designed

So we’re savin’ our pennies

Our nickels and dimes

(We know it’s not much

But we’re tryin’ to rhyme)

For our piece of the Rock

Or a spot on the dock

Of Rockport’s scenic town

The best place we’ve found......
