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!

The Beestee Boyz Watercolors by Bertie Brown


The Beestee Boyz

original watercolor bees: 9" x 12"


A Mellow Fellow

the dandelion's a classy fellow

in spring he paints a pic so mellow

that buzzybeez 

start seeing yellow

and when it turns to fuzz 'n seed

it floats away 

on a springtime breeze

Betty'nBarnaBee Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Betty'nBarnaBee

original bees: 5" x 7"


in the bee-ginning

we all loved the sun

we couldn’t get enough

we were never quite “done”

our faces were bronzed

our hair sun-streaked gold

our innocence reigned

we’d never grow old

but time has a way

a mean streak, I’d say,

of hastening the days

that youth does betray

so now that we’re old

or older, to wit,

we’re gonna wise up

and use sunscreen, just a bit...

Gypsie Rosalie Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Gypsie Rosalie

original watercolor: 10" x 14"

you cannot be chicken

if you do some paintin’

unless you are thinkin’

you’d like a good lickin’

‘cause just when that paint

does wondrous fresh stuff

your brain turns to mush

and you muck it all up

GatorGumbo Watercolors by Bertie Brown

GatorGumbo

original watercolor gator: 9" x 12"

sometimes I must

simply adjust

my view of the world

and try something new

for a week...maybe two

so dinner's gonna be

gator gumbo if you please
