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!

For Unto Us Watercolors by Daily Painter Bertie Brown


For Unto Us
original abstract watercolor w/donkey: 11" x 14"

Sophie Says
what ho
I just want to know
who’s lying in that manger bed
with a stable roof o’er His head
and why are there reindeer 
flying in the night sky
with a guy in a sleigh 
following close behind
And
there’s a tree in our house
with packages strewn about
that I’m not s’posed to touch
and there seems to be such
a decorating fuss
it’s confusing, you know
for a three year old, so
I’ll just ask BB
I’m hoping that she
can explain it to me!

Valley of the Sun Watercolors by Daily Painter Bertie Brown


Valley of the Sun
original abstract watercolor: 11" x 14"
that trusty old ass
tramps over the grass
as golden sun rays
dance through these cool days
I’m happy it shines
on your plants and mine
though we’re all confined
by our northeast clime
this season’s not bad
I hasten to add
but we both agree
that donkey and me
we’ll miss these cool temps
as winter comes next....

SunFish Abstract Watercolors by Daily Painter Bertie Brown


SunFish
original abstract watercolor: 11" x 14"
I think that it’s done
and I had some fun
‘though there a few 
solutions that skewed
my original view
and managed to be
surprising, you see
so now I don’t know
if it’s fit to show
if not,
 you’ve just got
to tell me to Stop!

A Puzzlement Still Life Watercolors by Daily Painter Bertie Brown


A Puzzlement
original abtract still life w/bottle, books. poppy: 11" x 14"
A Puzzlement
Sophie wants to know
what’s this all about
does one item go
with another, I doubt
but maybe you can
explain it to me
so I’ll understand
the idea, you see
well, BB said
sometimes I must pause
when thoughts in my head
have a conflicting clause
so rather than try
to struggle about
I do not ask why
I just paint it out
it’s a puzzle indeed
but maybe that’s good
‘cause you get to see
whatever you please!

Rockport Rhapsody Still Life Watercolors by Daily painter Bertie Brown


Rockport Rhapsody
original watercolor still life w/bottle, marbles, crayons: 18"w x 22" h

with holidays encroaching
my house is invoking
a welcoming style
so do come on in
and visit awhile
I’ll put on some tunes
how’s Beethoven for you?
and we can create
our own unique view
in my small art room
I’ve got Rockport blues
in a bottle that's new
a napkin or two
and Salem Witch balls
in colorful hues
So if you’ve got time
and paint, any kind
( you could borrow mine)
the still life’s set up
and looks so sublime

Rhythm & Blues Still Life Watercolors by Daily Painter Bertie Brown

Com-posers
original watercolor/sunflowers: 7" x 11"

Rhythm & Blues
original watercolor still life: 11" x 14"

Sometimes I find 
myself in a bind
of ideas gone wrong
what took me so long
to finally say
that’s enough, okay...
but 
sometimes it’s fun
to do more than one
‘cause maybe I learn
to finally discern
the good and the bad
to discount a fad
and find that rare link
that was missing, I think......
