Poppy Pizzicato Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Poppy Pizzicato

original watercolor poppies

Sophie’s Spring

Grassy green grass

Prickles and tickles

Sophie’s pink piggies

All wiggly and squiggly

Babbling birdie birds

Chirp quirky birdie words

Buzzing bees fly

By Sophie’s blue eyes

Daffodils gaze

Tulips parade

My poppies sing praise

Springtime, nature’s fling-time

“Neath a shy smiling sun

Nature’s prelude

To the deluge 

Of summer days soon to come...

Poppy Crop Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Poppy Crop

original watercolor Poppies!

Curiosity

curiouser and curiouser

it seems to me

this spring is the bomb

at flirting you see

‘cause just when you feel

a warm gentle breeze

a sun so friendly

you’re relaxin’ indeed

a cold front blows in

equipped with more rain

it spreads itself out

and i want to shout

oh yes there’s the rub

when springtime has come

those idyllic days

are quickly undone….

Brass Class Musical Motif Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Brass Class

original watercolor w/trumpet, horn, tombone: 15" x 22"

my poppy crop

is decidedly not

happy ‘bout all

this rain that we’ve got

they’re bending right down

their heads to the ground

praying I s’pose

for a break in the clouds

and i have to say, 

this just happens way

 too much i declare

on many spring days

so let’s have detent

for my perky lot

rain, simply decease

desist and please STOP

and though this does not

have too much to do

with the painting up top

it's all that i've got!

Beauty Queens Still Life Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Beauty Queens

original still life watercolor w/bottles, bowls, donkey: 18" x 23"

the donkey is back

though he’s not exact-

ly the star of this show

but i think he knows

and somehow his walk-

through leads us along

there’s rhythm in blues

from his point of view

original watercolor sunflowers: 8" x 11"

Curiosity

curiouser and curiouser

it seems to me

this spring is the bomb

at flirting you see

‘cause just when you feel

a warm gentle breeze

a sun so friendly

you’re relaxin’ indeed

a cold front blows in

and i want to shout

oh yes there’s the rub

when springtime has come

Quints'Jam Musical Motif Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Quints Jam

original musical motif watercolor: 18" x 23"

the woodwind quintet

is surprised and upset

that a brass french horn-et

is allowed on their set

while the woodwinds complained

the french horn explained 

that his rich rounded sound

kept the woodwinds anchored down

so they threw up their hands

made a quick change of plans

and that’s how it began

for the woodwind “Quints Jam”!

Watercolors by Bertie Brown

sometimes I must

simply adjust

my view of the world

and try something new

for a week… maybe two

still painting, it is

but decora-tive

and heck!

maybe I'll get

delivered a check!

Movin' Out

original still life watercolor w/bottle, tray, donkey: 16" x 22"

we’ve got the blues

that’s certainly true

but we’ve also got

‘magination, a lot!

so natur-ally

these sunflowers, three

came out just to pose

and away those blues go!
