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!

with hope and a prayer

for an autumn that's fair

Relative-ity Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Relative-ity
original watercolor still life w/pitcher, pot, sunflower, tomato: 15" x 15"

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 hues
borrowed from yet
a past series set
hmmm...
it’s deja vu

for those red/orange/blues!
