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!

Tigg Too Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Tigg Too
original watercolor tiger: 8" x 10"

Practice makes better
But perfect?
Not ever...
Especially if painting
Is what you can do
You’ll prob’ly improve
But that’s questionable, too
My advice to you

Buy a Bertie Brown or two!

The Ox'n Lamb Kept Time Watercolors by Bertie Brown

The Ox'n Lamb Kept Time
original watercolor landscape w/ox, lambs: 9" x 12"

Harmo-nious Perso-nious
went out for a run 
this very fine day
had lots to be done
stuff that gets in the way
of some fun in the sun
but nature’s libretto
called out ceremo-nious
in pleasing vibrato
a sound tremolo-nious
twas something I sought to
experience in perso-nious
and when I got done
on this very fine day
from my run in the sun

I was all tuned up and completely harmo-nious

The Lion and the Lamb Watercolors by Bertie Brown


The Lion and the Lamb
original watercolor lion, sheep: 8" x 10"

Summer Blues Cruise
there’s plenty to do 
in summer it’s true
but sometimes I must
simply adjust
my take on all work
and shirk all that work
take time to relax
look forward, think back
embrace solitude
consider my mood
it’s summertime blues

a soul soothing cruise

Bully Durham Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Bully Durham
original watercolor shaggy steer: 8" x 10"

I forget
do gnus
rhyme with canoes
or mile high heeled shoes
and what is the need
if you could, tell me please
of the extra L'd Llama

is it oh so much better
to own one more letter
than the Lama, actual-ly

or the Nu with no G

BunnyHop Watercolors by Bertie Brown

BunnyHop
original watercolor easter bunny: 7" x 10

remember in school
we learned the rule
that there were cliques
a specialty list
of kids way cool
though we were not 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
bu niw this girl
with floppy ears curled
just knows she'd be
the bunnyhop queen!
