The Beestee Boyz Watercolors by Bertie Brown

The Beestee Boyz

original watercolor bees: 9" x 12"

A Mellow Fellow

the dandelion's a classy fellow

in spring he paints a pic so mellow

that buzzybeez 

start seeing yellow

and when it turns to fuzz 'n seed

it floats away 

on a springtime breeze

Betty'nBarnaBee Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Betty'nBarnaBee

original bees: 5" x 7"

in the bee-ginning

we all loved the sun

we couldn’t get enough

we were never quite “done”

our faces were bronzed

our hair sun-streaked gold

our innocence reigned

we’d never grow old

but time has a way

a mean streak, I’d say,

of hastening the days

that youth does betray

so now that we’re old

or older, to wit,

we’re gonna wise up

and use sunscreen, just a bit...

Gypsie Rosalie Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Gypsie Rosalie

original watercolor: 10" x 14"

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

GatorGumbo

original watercolor gator: 9" x 12"

sometimes I must

simply adjust

my view of the world

and try something new

for a week...maybe two

so dinner's gonna be

gator gumbo if you please
