Eastern Point Perspectives Rockport Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Eastern Point Prspectives

original watercolor Cape Ann Lighthouse: 10" x 14"

Symphony in Sea Major

Lobster buoys afloat

Lighthouses as beacons

 Decorating the coast

Sublime northern light

Enveloping the sights

While dancing on tides

Tossing boats and floats

From side to side

Cormorants and gulls

Line up on the rocks

By the boats, or the docks

As they noisily wait

For some leftover bait

Granite boulders endure

Protecting the shore

Applauding the sea
BRAVO!

What a glorious symphony!

Rockport by the Sea Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Rockport by the Sea

original watercolor seascapes, Rockport, MA: 10" x 14"

Rockport Fever

The Grandies and I

Are planning a trip

To Gloucester and Rockport 

And, yes, Bearskin Neck

We’ll gaze at the ocean

Climb over the rocks

Paint Motif Number One

At the edge of the docks

We’ll dip our big toe

In the cold North Atlantic

Go swimming???

Are you kidding

It’s gotta get hotter

We’ll head to Pigeon Cove

Walk the breakwater high above

Then buy fresh lobster

At the Co-op down below

With more things to do 

More scenes to be viewed

We’ll need much more time

Than the plan we designed

So we’re savin’ our pennies

Our nickels and dimes

(We know it’s not much

But we’re tryin’ to rhyme)

For our piece of the Rock

Or a spot on the dock

Of Rockport’s scenic town

The best place we’ve found......

Rockport-By-The-Sea Rockport Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Rockport-by-the-Sea

original watercolor seascape: Rockport, MA: 10" x 14"

Lobsterman Shacks

Floats, traps

Lobsterman snacks

Ropes, tacks

Fishing knick-knacks

Boots, slickers

Lobsterman knickers

I bet there’s a place 

For trusty duct tape

And WD 40

They’ve got it, surely

All this and more

Behind windows and doors

Filling crannies and nooks

And hanging on hooks

So remember this stuff 

When you’re all in a huff

As you pay lots of bucks

For that Lobster you thought

cost way too darn much

At the boat dock co-op!

Applauding the sea

Rockport Rocks!

original watercolor seascape/Rockport, MA: 10" x 14"

On the Rocks

oh  my Sophie and me

we’d much rather be

on the rocks

by the docks

of Cape Ann by the Sea

and when a Nor’easter

those bellowing blows

nip at our keasters

our noses and toes

we just hold on tight

as it wails day and night

then blows out to sea

on day number three....

 As art dotting coves and boats

Decorating New England’s coast

With quirky colors its fishermen boast

And sublime northern light

Envelopes the sights

While dancing on tides

That toss those floats

 From side to side

Cormorants and gulls line up on the rocks

By the boats, or the docks

As they noisily wait

For some leftover bait

Granite boulders edge the shores

Firm foundations that endure

An applauding boisterous sea
BRAVO!

Rockport MA Harbor Seascape Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Rockport MA Harbor

original watercolor seascape/Rockport, MA : 9" x 12"

Buoy Joy

Buoys will be buoys

In all shapes and sizes

Just like us girls

Despite our disguises

Buoys are like boxers

Ducking and weaving

Treading ocean waters

With strong currents heaving

The stripes that they wear

Go round and around

They look quite rotund

 But they don’t much care

They do a sun dance

Giving tides not a glance

They’re anchored from below

And they won’t let go

They do their job joyously

Behaving so buoy-ishly!
