what ho
Sophie and I
just want to know
who switched off the heat
and dimmed the lights low
where are the wool socks for our feet
our cashmere sweaters and turtlenecks
who said summer could retreat?
we are cold and so distressed
why can’t winter last one week
it’s time I guess
to hibernate
until next June
and we both say
please come back soon..

Anita's Palette
original watercolor still life: 2" x 14"
now the painter said
to the still life in his head
why can’t we simply try
to put the world aside
let’s concentrate today
on things we have displayed
to paint in peace and harmony
will benefit our karma, see

A Pleasin’ Reason for the Girls in Season
You’re probably bored
After all you’ve endured
These paintings of girls
And their golden curls
They do love to preen
In their gold and green
They freely admit
They’re a bit narcissist
So I stay the course
(I’ve got no remorse)
Posting these pix
‘Cause, well, they insist
They do know the drill
The need they fulfill
Their beauty will fade
As cool winds invade
So as the fall season
Begins that’s the reason
I post and I hope
These paintings are pleasin’

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
Buy a Bertie Brown or two!

Pepp Rally
original watercolor peppers: 8" x 10
Peppers here, peppers there
Peppers poppin’ everywhere
One is yellow
More are green
Most are mellow
Laid back fellows
But let’s not stop
With that mild lot
Let’s go for HOT
And that means RED
The big red bell?
Well I think not
But you can tell
Those small hot shots
Are packin’ heat
That’s tough to beat!

Rooster Cogburn
There once lived a Rooster Cogburn
who watched o're his brood with concern
He crowed all awake
Drank cafe au lait
And never an egg did he break

Posers 'n Pepperazzi #2
original watercolor sunflowers/pappers: 8" x 10"
there once was a sunflower patch
it’s beauty could never be matched
yet the finches so fair
and bees feasting there
ate till those flowers were bare

Posers'n Pepperazzi
original watercolor sunflowers and peppers: 8" x 10"
Sophie and I know
that sometimes it’s best
to simply allow
a painting to rest
it may not be done
though there are intense
and beautiful hues
that seem to make sense
we want to be sure
we have to confess
that this work secures
it’s soulful-ishness

you cannot be chicken
if you do some paintin’
unless you are thinkin’
you’d like a good lickin’
‘cause just when that paint
does wondrous fresh stuff
your brain turns to mush
and you muck it all up
