Blueprint in Brown Plein Air Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Summer Blueprint in Brown

original watercolor quick sketches: 9" x 12"

Blues 'n Brown Cruise

there’s plenty to do 

in summer it’s true

but sometimes I must

simply adjust

my take on all work

and shirk all that work

take time to relax

look forward, think back

embrace solitude

consider my mood

it’s summertime blues

a soul soothing cruise

Into the Woods Plein Air Watercolors by Bertie Brown

in the beginning

                                                                Into The Woods
                                              original watercolor plein air landscape : 10" x 14"

curiouser and curiouser

it seems to me

this summer’s the bomb

at flirting, you see

‘cause just when you feel

a cool  weightless breeze

a sun so friendly

you’re relaxin’ indeed

a thick hulking cloud 

of hu-MID-ity

descends with a shout

and spreads itself out

oh yes there’s the rub

to summer time fun

those idyllic days

come quickly undone....

The John Jacob House Watercolors by Bertie Brown

The John Jacob House

original watercolor plein air home portrait: 9" x 12"

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 now I don’t know

if it’s fit to show

if not,

 you’ve just got

to tell me to Stop!

Wild 'N Crazy Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Wild 'N Crazy

original watercolor wildflowers: 9" x 12"

Sophie and I 

are asking you-all

are buttercups high in cholesterol?

they glisten like butter

in their golden yellow clusters

we think they’d taste great

and we’d be well fed

if we used them as spread

on jam or jelly bread

wouldn’t popcorn just popped

be better with hot

melted buttercups drizzled

all over the top?

is lobster that’s baked

in buttercup paste  

richer in flavor

more pleasing to taste?

Sophie and I

just giggled and said

we think that we’ll paint

those buttercups instead!
