Silver Bells Musical Motif Drawings by Bertie Brown
Silver Bells
original still life drawing w/horn, trumpet, trombone
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 sweater sets 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!

Mom's & Mamie's Drawings/Watercolors by Bertie Brown
Mom's & Mamie's
original still life drawing w/sherbet dish, glass plate: 10" x 12"
an item of hers
a few of my own
some are just borrowed
I’ve got them on loan
those years, 92!
amazingly quick
filled every last nook
and cranny I think
and now as I sort
through the stuff she held dear
will I at long last
go joyfully, not fear?
it’s one out of one
that’s how it’s been done
since time has begun
not one can outrun

Mamie's Plate Still Life Watercolors by Bertie Brown
Mamie's Plate
original still life watercolor w/pitchers, plate:15" x18"
Fancy Stance
original drawing w/sherbet glass, marbles:10" x 12"
cast all your cares
you must let them go
He wants to provide
His word says it’s so
but
if i do not learn
from my past mistakes
i thwart all the grace
and just run in place
yet
there is a rock
and a mercy seat
where grace is revealed
in humility
now
this cornerstone
it beckons to me
i bow myself down
and freely receive

Apple Corps Still Life Watercolors by Bertie Brown
Apple Corps
original drawing w/apples, vintage strainer: 10" x 12"
the season has changed
and I gotta say
I’m in a tight spot
what goes and what stays??
this whole year has brought
assignments for sure
decisions to make
more stuff to endure
so maybe I’ll just
hide out for a bit
beside my still life
for one brief respite
