Painting Workout

watercolor still life with glass: 20 1/2" x 22 1/2"

Spring Musical

oh spring

is the thing

we hope for in November

long for in December

lose in January

right through February

cry for in March

die for in April

can’t wait one more day

for the merry month of May

when cold showers cling

to every bloomin’ thing!

so when the month of June

bursts suddenly into view

I look around and smile

and bid stay with me awhile

 Music'ly Inclined

Music'ly Inclined

original watercolor musical still life w/violin: 11" x 15"

the violin’s a diva girl

when bowed she lets her notes unfurl

when plucked

her notes are quite abrupt

and when she’s played her last hurrah

she bows and takes two curtain calls!

Poppy Crop Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Poppy Crop

original watercolor poppy crop: 10" x 10"

POPPY!

Morning light

Sunshine bright

My first Poppy

This spring in sight!

Orange lace

Pretty face

Gazing high

To friendly skies

On one long leg

It pops about

Calling her ‘buds’

To come on out!

Showers Bring Flowers Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Showers Bring Flowers

original watercolor w/daisies: 7" x 11"

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

Daisies 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 Pizzicato Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Poppy Pizzicato

original watercolor still life w/poppies: 8" x 11" 

And the poppy said

to her buddies in the bed

why can’t we simply try

to lay our views aside

let’s get along today

‘cause that’s the better way

to live in peace and harmony

will benefit us all, you see

Buttercup Days Ahead

Sophie and i 

are anxious time counters

of the weeks, days and hours

till summer’s sunflowers..

so we’re planning an event

to keep us content

a friendly picnic

in a meadow at six

where busy bees peer

over petals and cheer

their great luck at finding

a clover patch inviting

and birds by the throngs

 singing melodious songs

eye our buttercup bread

that keeps us well fed

this winsome, wondrous day

is coming our way

so join us, please do

we’ll be waiting there for you!

Merry-Go-Round Still Life Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Merry-Go-Round

original still life w/horn, glass baubles: 11" x 15"

The French Conundrum

The French Horn is happy

Wherever it plays

From Woodwinds and Brass

To  the Strings with such class.

Yes, the instruments agree

It’s sound does so please.

And most of the time

The horn is quite amiable

But it can get unruly

And downright unplayable!

Shelly's Home Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Shelly's Home

original: 8" x 11" 

a vista,

a hint

a brief friendly glimpse

of Shelly's sunny home

where palm trees in groves

and sea birds in droves

and gators in coves

all make their abode
