Endless Summer
original watercolor still life w/hydrangeas, shells
Cold Front
The windows I’m closin’
my flowers need hosin’
it’s blisterin hot
not one cold spot
‘cept here by the door
of the freezer in the store
where I pretend to stock up
on creamsicle pops
but truth to be told
it’s just good to feel cold!

The Pour House
original watercolor still life: 9" x 12"
there’s more to see
from Studio B
‘cause there’s never enuff
creative cool stuff
specific-ally
a still life motif
set up, you see
and painted by me!

Eggstra Fine
original watercolor still life w/sunflower/teapot/eggs: 9" x 12"
I keep pressing on
‘cause that’s what I do
to see what comes next
with a painting or two
there’s music, of course
and sunflowers, sure
with pitchers and more
from still lifes of yore
it’s funny, you know
when themes just won’t go
and my artwork shows
my real life also

PitStop
original watercolor still life w/lemons, lime, teapot: 9" x 12"
from Studio B
yes, her time has come
to get the lead out
and get these things done
we know that they’re small
and quirky, that too
plus, they’re priced to sell
you need one, don’t you?

original watercolor still life w/pitcher, lemons, lime: 8" x 8"
It ain’t heavy
it’s my stuff
I said in a huff
but I think I know
that some things I must
get rid of without
too much of a fuss
tis 2026
which will totally be
what I make it, you see
good bad or ugly!

The Muse
original watercolor with horn/Beethoven bust: 15" x 18"
Practice makes better
But perfect?
Not ever...
Especially if horn playing
Is what you can do
You’ll prob’ly improve
But that’s questionable, too
My advice to you
Buy a French Horn Kazoo!

original watercolor sunflowers/fruit: 10" x 14"
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

WinterWhite
original watercolor still life w/violin, fruit, flowers: 9" x 12"
Winter Blues
oh, how I long for June or July
with summer sunshine
and butterflies passing by
this season of cold
has taken it’s hold
with harsh winds now wailin’
seems the sun has gone sailin’
so I’m getting all set,
though it’s hard not to fret,
as blankets cover my lap
and I settle in
for a long mid-winter’s nap......

Fruit Loops
original watercolor still life with violin, lemon, lime, apple: 9" x 12"
and this is the question
can I toss intention
and renounce all strife
at this stage of life?
could I, if you please,
watch daytime TV
munch crackers and brie
sip Long Isle Iced Teas
would I, do you see,
be happy with ease??

Posers in the Park
Here we come
Chargin’ to the park
we’re gonna get there real early
While it’s still pretty dark
Hey, hey we’re the ‘Posers’
We’ve got a lot of work yet to do
We have to sell ourselves all to you
So we better get hangin’
Ourselves in the Bertie Brown Booth!
