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!

Gossip Girls

The sunflower girls are gettin’ together for lunch

And gossip and news at the “Cafe Munch Bunch”.

The menu for today's Sunflower Brunch:

Bumble Bee Burgers and Golden Finch Fries

For dessert: Butterfly Splits and Dragonfly Pies....

So do not tarry, don't be late

For this fine midday tete-a-tete!

Play Away

it’s really okay

to chill out and play

we all know we should

(that is understood)

but still we forget

and totally get

ourselves in fun debt

we think if we could 

buy us some fun

then surely we would 

feel wonderf’ly good

GroundedGirls Sunflower Watercolors by Bertie Brown

GroundedGirls

original watercolor sunflowers: 10" x 14"


there once was a sunflower patch

it’s beauty could never be matched

yet finches so fair

and bees feasting there

ate up till those tall stalks were bare

The Square Root Sunflower Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Chicken Tricks

You cannot be chicken

If you do some paintin'

Unless you are thinkin’

You’d like a good lickin’

‘Cause that paint can become

some unwelcome mud

and the work you just did

goes right into the bin

The TractorFactor Watercolors by Bertie Brown

The TractorFactor

original watercolor Amish Mules: 9" x 12"


now the mulish said

to his buddy by his stead

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 us all you see
