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!

BlueDudes Watercolors by Bertie Brown

BlueDudes

original watercolor bluebirds: 8" x 10"

What Ho!

2000 twenty two

is in the rear view

and BB's paintings

have stacked up it seems

no ifs ands or buts

they’ve still got the stuff

to keep them on top

of the pile,  tho' it’s not

scientific i've got

a hunch they'll be hot

at next summer's show stops

'cause with subjects like these

they'll sell out quick-lee!

Falling Water Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Falling Water

original watercolor landscape: 8" x 10"


I think that it’s done

and I had some fun

‘though there a few 

solutions that skewed

my original view

and managed to be

surprising, you see

so now I don’t know

if it’s fit to show

if not,

 you’ve just got

to tell me to Stop!

to the players up ahead

to stop the play off sides

and win this game the way

it's going I might leave

and you'll regret it, see

Clique d'Sunnies Watertcolors by Bertie Brown

Cirque d'Sunnies

original watercolor sunnflowers: 10" x 14"

Sunny Delites

dark freckled faces

sporting golden sun bonnets 

reading Emily’s quirky verses

and Edna’s soaring sonnets

their leaves a canopy

of swirling skirts it seems to me

standing tall on high heeled shoe

designed by Jimmy Choo

bidding birdies of the air

and the beezers buzzing there

to come enjoy  brunch

or a sunnyD lunch

Autumness Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Autumness

original watercolor fall landscape: 9" x 12"

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 orange and blues!

VanGogh-ish/VanCleve-ish Watercolors by Bertie Brown

VanGogh-ish/VanCleve-ish

original watercolor sunflowers/work shoes: 10" x 14"

press on, you say

so that’s what I do

not cease and desist

that’s never okay…

to break through the fray

you gotta hang tough

and paint every day

talent’s just not enough
