Quint's Jam Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Quint's Jam

original watercolor still life w/horn, woodwinds: 17"  x 22"

Winter Blues

oh, how i long for June or July

with summer sunshine

and butterflies passing by

this season of cold 

has taken it’s hold

with harsh winds now wailin’

seems the sun has gone sailin’

so i’m getting all set,

though it’s hard not to fret,

as blankets cover my lap

 and i settle in

 for a long mid-winter’s nap......

Bouquet Haze Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Bouquet Haze

original watercolor still life w/flowers: 6" x 9"

how much can i hold

in my arms when i’m told

they're filled up, you see 

with pieces of me

it’s getting so bad
i’m leaving a trail
of this and of that
forget it, i wail
well…maybe it’s just

fine'ly time to get tough

stop makin' a fuss
and toss out the stuff!

String-piration Watercolors by Bertie Brown

String-spiration

original watercolor still life w/violin, glass vessels: 12" x 14" 

Sophie says

what ho

i just want to know

who’s lying in that manger bed

with a stable roof o’er His Head

and why are there reindeer 

flying in the night sky

with a guy in a sleigh 

following close behind

And

there’s a tree in our house

with packages strewn about

that i’m not s’posed to touch

and there seems to be such

a decorating fuss

it’s confusing, you know

for a little kid, so

i’ll just ask bb

i’m hoping that she

can explain it to me!

The Soloist Watercolors by Bertie Brown

The Soloiest

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

'twas time to relax

and take in the sight

of violin and glass

huddling en mass

seems they were just cold

‘though this season's bite 

will be less, i’m told

but winter it is

and these things, like me,

miss summer you see

i think you'd agree

Dancer at Ease figure drawing by Bertie Brown

Dancer at Ease

pencil drawing of ballet dancer: 10" x 14"

i think that it’s done

and i had some fun

‘though there a few 

solutions that skewed

my original view

and managed to be

surprising, you see

so if it’s not fit 

or off just a bit

ignore if you please

thus dancer at ease!
