Sophie says
BB what’cha doin’?
BB says
lookin’ all around
and this is what I’ve found
the fact is this
I’ve made a list
of works I love
that did not miss
the mark I set
for sure success
and though I know
bragadocio
is not allowed
I’ll not be cowed
I’ve got a LOT
that hit the spot
that’s great, you say
but not so, hey
It’s hard to paint
more-better-best
‘cause that’s a test
i can't take yet!

Redskins
original watercolor onions: 9" x 12"
pitter patter
onion chatter
what’s the news
and latest reviews
who just got sacked
was told to get packed
and leave with his knives
despite all his cries
yes, you know the show
we watch from our bowl
and grateful are we
‘cause we’re posers you see
our owner just paints
so we’ll not be braised
sliced diced nor arranged
on your fancy plates!

Sole Survivors
original watercolor boot/onions: 9" x 12"
Spring Musical
oh spring
is the thing
we hope for in November
long for in December
lose in January
right through February
cry for in March
die for in April
can’t wait one more day
for the merry month of May
and still cold temps cling
to every bloomin’ thing!
so when the month of June
bursts suddenly into view
I'll look around and smile
PLEASE stay with me awhile

The Root Cause
original watercolor onions/garlic: 9" x 12"
there’s more to see
from Studio B
‘cause there’s never enuff
paintings of stuff
specific-ally
aromatic-ally
onions so fine
and garlic sublime...
I hope they’re in vogue
for upscale art shows!

Bulb*Lite
original watercolor onions: 9" x 12"
just keep paintin', they say
so that’s what I do
not cease and desist
that’s never the way...
to break through the fray
you gotta hang tough
and paint every day
talent’s just not enough

Redskins Redux
original watercolor onions: 9" x 12"
And the onion said
to his 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
BB'25
i once had a thought
original and clever...
but that thought i forgot!
gone forever? i hope not..
still, i’m dismayed
yes fraught and distraught
‘cause it may have been great
that thought i just lost!

Springspiration
original watercolor still life w/onions, boots: 10" x 14"
an artist displays
exhibitionist ways
but it’s all okay
‘cause painting filled days
and nights do remain
quite high on our list
of things we like best
so please don’t insist
we cease and desist!

Sophie says
I really cannot wait
Sophie says
for a sunny day
Sophie says
probably in late May
when the winter will be over
meadows will burst forth in clover
we will paint plein air
in fields so fair
we hope to see you there

Fine Whine
my sister says
you are gonna get it
my sister says
you get a weather credit
my sister says
when this winter has been bedded
and the spring is this way headed
it will be so fine
the temps so kind you’ll renounce all your whine...

Unyunz
original watercolor onions/sunflowers: 10" x 14"
now the onion said
to the posers by 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

Un*yuns
original watercolor onions: 9" x 12"
Sophie said,
Let’s use our new paints today
Carmine and Windsor blue
Areolin too
What could we paint
With our trio so quaint
Onions, I think, would work out just great
Wet applications
Give us saturations
Int’resting patterns
With water and spatters
Red, blue and yellow
Make fine pallet-fellows
Onions blush
Their cheeks red and lush
And shades of their foliage
Dark green and gold-ish
Finish off the work
An onion recital
Is now on display
Today!
BB
