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!

Burden Burro Watercolors by Bertie Brown


Burden Burro
original watercolor w/sunflowers, poppies, brass trio: 11" x 14"

It ain’t heavy
it’s my stuff
said the donkey
in a huff!
but I think I know
that some things I must
get rid of without
too much of a fuss
tis 2013
which will totally be
what I make it, you see
good bad or ugly!

Burden Burro Watercolors by Bertie Brown


Burden Burro
original watercolor w/donkey, poppy, horn: 11" x 14"

orphaned and yet
the feeling I get
is one of relief
along side the grief
tis mine but to bear
like that burro up there
who carries his load
while he trots down the road
I watch him go by
and hear myself sigh
that’s how this life goes
but it’s still hard to know

A Little Night Music Musical Motif Watercolors by Bertie Brown

A Little Night Music
original musical motif watercolor w/drums, drummer: 7" x 11"

A Little Night Music
original musical motif watercolor w/drums, guitars: 7" x 11"

a musician displays 
exhibitionist ways
but it’s all okay
‘cause music filled days
and nights do remain
quite high on our list
of things we like best
so please don’t insist
we cease and desist!

Trio Trouble Musical Motif Watercolors by Daily Painter Bertie Brown


Trio Trouble
original musical motif watercolor w/trumpet, horn, trombone: 11" x 14"
the task of the horn
is to cast off all scorn
and proudly display
his technical ways
like a peacock, he struts
all his finery stuff
and if that’s not enough
he’ll wail in disgust
his penchant for flair
o’ershadows the pair
of brass partners there
but he doesn’t care
