Sleeping Beauty
original watercolor / child's portrait
Sophie and I
well, we wonder a lot
is Annabelle growing
by dashes and dots?
is she dozing and napping
and dreaming grand thoughts
as she nurses all cozy
in those blankies she got
does she gaze at the sun-
dappled nursery so full
of those treasures dad and mom
fondly filled with their love
oh, we think of her often
that cute turned-up nose
those eyes, baby blue
her elegant fingers
and ten tiny toes
Savannah Annabelle
we surely can tell
you are treasured and loved
especially well.......

Beautiful, Bertie--what a wonderful closeness you have with Sophie and now Savannah and how lucky are you to be able to express this love both visually and poetically.
I was wondering...do you take pictures and then work in your studio or are you able to actually work right in front of her as she sleeps. The paintings and the poetry are such a treasure.
Bertie this is adorable. These little ones will cherish all of these wonderful paintings and poems so much in the years to come. They are precious!
Precious baby Annabelle. She will love these beautiful paintings her grandma made of her!
This is a wonderful expression of your love!
