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!

Unyunz Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Unyunz

original watercolor onions/sunflowers: 10" x 14"


now the onion said

to the posers by his head

why can’t we simply try

to lay our views aside

let’s get along today

‘cause that’s the better way

to live in peace and harmony

will benefit our karma, see

UPtown Girl Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Uptown Girl

original watercolor cityscape w/woodwinds: 10" x 14"


The French Conundrum

The French Horn is happy

Wherever it plays

From Woodwinds and Brass

To  the Strings with such class.

Yes, the instruments agree

That it’s sound does so please.

And most of the time

The horn is quite amiable

But it can get unruly

And downright unplayable

The Goodbye Girl Watercolors by Bertie Brown

The Goodbye Girl

original watercolor bluebirds: 8" x 10"


Winter Blues

oh, how I long for June or July

with summer sunshine

and butterflies passing by

this season of cold 

has taken it’s hold

with harsh winds now wailin’

seems the sun has gone sailin’

so I’m getting all set,

though it’s hard not to fret,

as blankets cover my lap

 and I settle in

for a long winter's nap

Into The Woods Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Into The Woods

original watercolor woodwinds: 10" x 14"


Woodwinds Rule

The Woodwinds agree it’s a funny thing

To sit behind a sea

Of self-important Strings

They chuckle to think

That a skinny black stick,

An Oboe, 

You know,

Is chosen to play 

The tuning note

And if the orchestra is listening

And not playing by rote

They’ll make beautiful music together...

At least that’s what we hope!
