Buoy Joy Watercolor Still Life with Buoys, Shells, Bottle by Pennsylvania Daily Painter Bertie Brown

Buoy Joy

original watercolor still life with buoys, shells, bottle: 14"w x 14 1/2"h


Rockport Fever

Sophie 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 ocean water

Go swimming???

Are you kidding

We’d need to be hotter

We’ll head to Pigeon Cove

Walk the breakwater high above

Then buy some 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 have found......
