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!

Pat's Pup Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Look Out Puppy
original watercolor pet portrait: 7" x 10"

this winter’s exhalin
 cold winds that are wailin
but Nell's furry coat
will warm her like toast
oh
 the call of the wild
and freedom suits her style
but when winter’s seethin
and heat she is needin
a sun dappled rug
will keep this pup snug

Middlecreek Minuet Watercolors by Bertie Brown


Middlecreek Minuets
original watercolor en plein air: 6" x 8"

Abrupt
is how i’d describe
the weather outside
‘cause one day it’s mild
and pleasant - it’s wild
'cause next day’s so cold
there’s frost on my nose
the furnace is running
it seems ‘round the block
while i sit here humming
the ‘icelandic rock’
so where did it go
that mild weather cheer
did it show up this year
did i miss it, i fear
i’m sportin’ enough
sweaters and stuff
i’d rather be sweatin’ 
but cold’s what i’m gettin’

The Garden Girl Watercolors by Bertie Brown

The Garden Girl
original watercolor aummer scape" 6" x 6"

Spring Musical
oh spring
is the thing
we diss in November
miss in December
lose in January
right through February
cry for in March
die for in April
can’t wait one more day
for the merry month of May
and still cold temps cling
to every bloomin’ thing!
so when the month of June
bursts suddenly into view
I look around and smile

beg stay with me awhile
