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!

Sticks and Licks Watercolors by Daily Painter Bertie Brown - Art is Instrumental

Sticks and Licks

drawing:18" x 22"

in the beginning

I had a thought

then came a drawing

twas all that I sought

now here’s the big thing

will I paint with style

those woodwindy sticks

or just have a quick

lollipop lick

or munch on a thick

black licorice whip

Quints Jam Watercolors by Daily Painter Bertie Brown - Art is Instrumetnal

Quints' Jam

original watercolor with woodwind quintet: 14" x 17"

licorice whips

and lollipop licks

glasses and globes

and woodwind also

it’s relative you know

but one thing’s for sure

this group needs a horn

with full rounded bore

to balance the sound

of notes up and down

and licorice whips

are relative links

to lollipop on sticks

Baubles and Bells Watercolors by Bertie Brown - Art is Instrumental

cheers to beginnings

for 2000-1-2

I do hope my paintings

turn out well, I do

so here’s to good starts

whatever they be

as wet paper + paint

spread out before me

may each have a touch

of magic I trust

as I skillfully

wield my paint brush!

BB’12

Baubles and Bells

original watercolor musical motif: 17" x 17"

the same

somehow

yet different

so now

I’m gonna move on

to another, without

a horn, as no doubt

twill be easier left out!

BB'12

Baubles and Bells

original watercolor musical motif with horn: 17" x 20"

so now it’s done

and I had fun

‘though there were some

solutions that

to be exact

were just a tad

surprising, so

I really hope

it’s fit to show

if not, you’ve got

to let me know......

It's All Relative Watercolors by Bertie Brown - Art is Instrumental

It's All Relative

original watercolor musical motif w/drums, piano, trumpet, guitars: 17" x 11"

It’s relative-ly

a new work, you see

with something that’s old

a shape big and bold

and some that are new

with int’resting blues

borrowed from yet

a past series set

hmmm...

it sounds just like

a pre-wedding sight!

Cor-nucopia/Horns' A-Plenty Watercolors by Bertie Brown - Art is Instrumental

Cor-nucopia/Horn's A-Plenty

original watercolor still life w/horns: 22" x 17"


there’s def’nitely

a space for me

in this new year

and here I see

some horns indeed

and crayons too

and other stuff creatively

posing quite rela-tively

so on I’ll press

toward the mark

of ending well

a well thought start
