Chicken Trix Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Chicken Trix

original watercolor chickens

You cannot be chicken

If you play french horn

Unless you are thinkin’

You’d like a good lickin’

When that horn does balk

Sounding out a loud squawk

And Beethoven rolls over

As you shrug your shoulder

Pep Rally Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Pep Rally

original watercolor still life w/peppers: 10" x 14"

as summer reclines

in translucent honey haze

autumn comes alive

with transparent amber days

inky blue nights

fill infinite skies

cool winds collide

pushing summer aside

from translucent to transparent

these transitions are inherent 

seasons come and they go

with their foibles quite apparent

Sunny Soiree Sunflower Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Sunny Soiree

original watercolor sunflowers: 10" x 15"

Good Vibrations

I love the way

on a late Autumn day

 the sun reaches down

to gather around

my sunflower girls

with their gold-yellow curls

and their skirts made of leaves

swaying in the breeze...

The birds of the air

and the insects working there

create a vibration

a vibrato celebration

as they all harmonize

their praise to the skies...

I’m thankful to be

by this shimmering sea

and grateful to hear

this music of the spheres

Garden D-Light Landscape Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Gardenm D-Light

original watercolor landscape: 10" x 15"

may autumn come gentler

o’er dew glittered morns

meandering zephyrs

fall-ish adorned

it’s time to embrace

this summer’s demise

the sun’s fading grace

and hazy blue skies

autumness comes

routinely, you see

it’s time to move on

what will be will be
