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!

Garden Girl Landscape Watercolors by Bertie Brown


Garden Girl
original watercolor landscape w/garden girl, cat: 8" x 11"

Coming of Age.....
so it seems that’s a YES
without op’ning a door
we’re passing right through
to an age we abhor
.....it’s TOO SOON!
we’d ignore it, we should
but the details are there
and the signs that we would
quite deny..it’s NOT FAIR!
but
we’ve found some fine perks
and events we now greet
that graciously work
turning bitter to sweet....
we’ve got GRANDIES to meet!
it’s truly a joy
our life’s second wind
when our girls and our boys
leave, new lives to begin
then finally..BEHOLD!
our grandies arrive
our hearts all but sold
on these new little lives
we’re coming of age
but we don’t feel old
‘cause there’s life once again
our legacy to hold
we spoil them all day
and the thing that’s inspired
they go home, by the way,
when we’re pooped out and tired

Petite Suites Watercolors by Bertie Brown

                                                                Musical Blues
original musical motif watercolor w/symphony


Com-poser
original watercolor sunflower

Sophie and I 
in summertime mode
are sitting beside
a sunflower abode
a garden, of course
where we plan to stay
with no great remorse
for past cooler days
‘cause we’ve got our paints
our brushes and such
our sun hats in place
and posers? a bunch!
so here’s where we’ll be
come sun or a storm
we’ll work happily
it’s what we call ‘norm’!

Gardening Girl Watercolors by Bertie Brown


                                                
Garden Girl
original watercolor w/garden, girl:8" x 8"
I keep pressing on
‘cause that’s what I do
to see what comes next
with a painting or two
so now summer’s here
and what’s gonna bloom?
well, stand up and cheer
our sunflowers, real soon!
though weeding’s a trial
a pain in the neck!
our garden girl’s style
deftly keeps them in check!
