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!

DaffyDils Watercolors by Bertie Brown

DaffyDils

original watercolor daffodils: 9: x 12"


Even Santa Likes Spring

Sophie and I 

Are feeling quite spry

As we welcome back spring

On a robin’s sleek wing

The invitation was sent

Mailed out December tenth

For this special event

By that Santa Clause gent(!)

(Seems he was just tryin’

For pleasant sleigh ridin’.....

Didn’t work out

As cold winds and snow

Were bandying about....)

Now it’s suddenly clear

Spring’s arrival is here

And summer and sunflowers 

Are hovering near....

to get the lead out

Workin'theDirt Watercolors by Bertie Brown



Workin'theDirt

original watercolor onions/boots: 9" x 12"


Sometimes I find 

myself much confined

by ideas gone wrong

what took me so long

to finally say

that’s enough now, okay...

but 

sometimes it’s fun

to do more than one

‘cause maybe I’ll learn

to slightly discern

the good and the bad

to discount a fad

and find that rare link

that was missing, I think......

RoosterStew Watercolors by Bertie Brown

RoosterStew

original watercolor chickens: 9" x 12"


Remember in school

we learned the rule

that there were cliques

a specialty list

of kids way cool

though we weren’t fools

our own gene pools

just did not rule

we weren’t as blessed

our confidence less

we weren’t sure why 

and could not guess

and now these guys 

in their own eyes

just know they'd be

the pop-ular kids, indeed!
