Welcome

Welcome to my blog where you can view a sampling of my watercolor paintings and discover why for me, Art Is Instrumental. These, as well as many more in my studio, are for sale and looking for good homes!

Methods and Madness

Sometimes I paint fast and loose

Other times quite controlled

The subject decides the method

But each work has the same goal:

A painting that is successful

And beautiful to behold!

The Root Cause Watercolors by Bertie Brown

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 Watercolors by Bertie Brown

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 Watercolors by Bertie Brown

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

Roots'nBlues Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Roots'nBlues

original watercolor onions: 9" x 12"

we’ve got the blues

that’s certainly true

but we’ve also got

‘magination, a lot!

so natur-ally

these onions, three

came out just to pose

and away those blues go!

Young-ions Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Young-ions

original watercolor onions: 9" x 12"

spring is a tease

don’t flatter her please

‘cause she’s such a flirt

in her onion sprout skirt

oh some days she’s warm

and sweet, that’s for sure

while other days roar

with cold winds ’n storms

so face it, we’re not friends

and i do wish she’d end

‘cause i’m in the mood

for a summer long June

The BeezerSeason's Sneakin'Up Watercolors by Bertie Brown

The BeezerSeason'sSneakin'Up

original watercolor bees: 8" x 10"


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

and bid stay with me awhile

The Redskins Watercolors by Bertie Brown

The RedSkins

original watercolor onions: 9" x 12"


spring is a tease

don’t flatter her please

‘cause she’s such a flirt

in her daffodil skirt

oh some days she’s warm

and sweet, that’s for sure

while other days roar

with cold winds ’n storms

so face it, we’re not friends

and i do wish she’d end

‘cause i’m in the mood

for a summer long June
