Sophie's Rockport
original watercolor maritime seascape / Motif #1: 7"w x 10"h
Sophie’s Rockport
floats
boats
fisherman totes
nets, tack
Lobsterman shacks
is any place better?
where’s BB, I’ll ask
and she said to me
Sophie
what do you see?
steadfast granite rocks
weathered wooden docks
frigid north atlantic
boisterous, frantic...
and Sophie my dear
what do you hear?
cormorants and gulls
a cacophony of calls
tides singing songs
of the sea all day long...
though I am just a novice
BB, I’ve got it
sturdy framed homes
granite popple stones
smoothed and polished
by their beach bathing frolics
buoys with bright stripes
dancing in the light
and motif #1
standing proud in the sun
saluting seafarers
both living and gone
yep, BB and me
we both agree
Rockport by the sea
is the best place to be!

Use to live in New England and go to Rockport a couple of times a year. Love the memories that you bring back to me with this painting!
Bertie, your canvasses always just sing! This is another beauty!
