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!

Com-Poser Concerto Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Com-Poser Concerto
watercolor sunflowers: 15" x 15"

De- C0mPoser
my lean and mean posers
can’t seem to get over
those past days of glory
their pose tells the story
so poignant and true
of lost beauty and youth
and innocence...  too
yet still they stand tall
and insist that we all
salute this new age
their ‘maturity’ phase
with dignity and grace
and  wisdom embraced

Carefree Com-Posers Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Careless Com-Posers

Carefree Com-Posers
original watercolor sunflowers: 10" x 12"

at the far end of summer
i woke up to see
my sunflower soiree
in tatters and seeds
the birdies and bees
and butterfly-ees
so curiously
were packing to flee
seems nectar so sweet
that thirst quenching treat
was gone completely
said their twitters and tweets
so i’m left behind
with nothing but time
that’s filled to the brim
with memories of them....
at the far end of summer
i so want to be
at the beginning of spring

Posing with Com-Posers Watercolors by Berite Brown

Posing with Com-Posers
original watercolor pet portrait with sunflowers: 12" x 12"

Molly’s Folly
Molly works out
it’s plain to see
just look at that sleek
leg and furry knee
she stays in top shape
‘cause she knows it makes
her creative self soar
through the work she adores
drawing and painting and more

it’s never a chore!

Mean Mollie Marie Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Mean Molly Marie
original pet portrait/ Molly Marie Cat: 8" x 10"
Molly likes art
that’s easy to see
she’s ready to start
her own gallery
she’ll feature just me
‘cause she knows the drill
she likes to eat

and I pay the bill!

Continuing Com-Posers Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Continuing Com-Posers
original watercolor sunflowers: 12" x 12"

Good Vibrations
i love the way
on a late august day
 the sun reaches down
to gather around
my sunflower girls
with their gold-yellow curls
and their skirts made of leaves
swaying in the breeze...
the birds of the air
and the insects working there
create a vibration
a vibrato celebration
as they all harmonize
their praise to the skies...
i’m thankful to be
by this shimmering sea
and grateful to hear
this music of the spheres

Cantor Com-Poser Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Cantor Com-Poser
original watercolor sunflower: 12" x 12" 

The Sunflower Guild
is in my backyard
it’s a sunflower farm
with plenty of charm
there’s gold in the glow
of this sumptuous show
as the finches and bees
in their feasting agree
so let’s have some fun
before summer’s done
we’ve one month or two
to enjoy the view!
