original watercolor poppies w/bees: 8" x 10"
Poppy Pageant
More little red-haired girls
Than we’d hoped for or imagined
It looks just like
A beauty pageant!
Sophie and I, artistic hosses
Are painting their portraits
Till our poppy bosses
Are simply stems
With great hair losses!
We’ve less than a week
To get the job done
We’re hoping for good weather
With plenty of sun!

Circling Back
original watercolor still life w/violin: 12" 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!

original watercolor poppies: 8" x 10"
Orange Blaze Poppy Craze!
Sophie and I are ecstatic and delighted
We’ve made a discovery
And we’re so excited
Our poppies are budding
Poking up from their beds
With fuzzy green heads
And we just can’t wait
For a plein air painting date
When they pop out of their skins
And we settle in
For a quick painting session
As we compose our impressions...
Petticoats dancing
Leggy stems prancing
Blue centers waving
Orange petals blazing.....
We’ve gotta be greedy
With our time and be speedy
Cause Poppies just last
‘Bout a day and a half!

Poppy Paradise
original watercolor poppies: 13" x 20"
oh my girls
with their curls
gossip all the day long
giggles here
sniggles there
oh the secrets they share
“she’s a lush”
then they blush
oh it’s all so unjust
when it comes
to their chums
they tell all and then some
so I must
paint and just
let them gab without fuss
it’s in jest
I just bet
though I’ve got no proof yet...

PoppyParade
original watercolor poppies: 10" x 14"
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

Poppy Pizzicato
original watercolor poppies: 12" x 12"
Poppies
Curvaceous long legs
Popping up from their beds
With ruffled petticoats flouncing
Such perky orange heads!
They do the Pizzicato Polka
It’s the right dance for them
As they twirl and spin around
On those long and curvy stems!

BlueJay Leno
original watercolor blue jay: 6" x 8"
Practice makes better
But perfect?
Not ever...
Especially if painting
Is what you can do
You’ll prob’ly improve
But that’s questionable, too
My advice to you
Do some birdwatching soon

PoppyCrop
original watercolor poppies: 10" x 15"
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!

The FinchGrinch
original watercolor goldfinch: 6" x 8"
so the goldfinch said
to the voices in his head
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 our karma, see

The FooFighters
original watercolor bluebirds: 8" x 10"
My windows are open
Cool breezes are flowin’
My curtains are flirtin'
With the sill and the sash
This is the way
A fine day in May
Ought always to be
I bet you’d agree!

Nathan the Great
original watercolor: 8" x 10"
In my own opinion
The world’s a great stage
Where music is heard
With no discouraging word
The strings set the tone
With synchronized bows
The woodwinds fairly sing
Till the brass enter in
And gives a loud shout
As percussion dance about
It’s all relative
As time surely tells
In life’s ebb and flow
Season’s come and they go......
