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-Posers Sunflower Watercolors by Bertie Brown


Com-Posers

original watercolor sunflowers: 9" x 12"


And So It Goes

Ackkk!

 the sun’s in retreat 

giving me the cold shoulder

our summer romance

is apparently over

gone are the sundrops

warming my face

menacing shadows

have taken their place

 cobalt blue breezes 

rustle about

autumn is coming

of that there’s no doubt

my sunflowers are ruined

their beauty in tatters

seeds, petals, leaves

lie tossed about, scattered

i notice the dance

of those spurious squirrels

as they snatch the remains

of my golden sun girls

more quickly than ants

at a picnic, they advance

and I thought that finches

were sunflower grinches!

now I’m left all alone

‘neath a dry, crumbling wall

where my sunflowers had stood

majestic and tall

so my task is to wait

for this fact I hold dear

they’ll be back next year

with more summertime cheer!
