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 BluezBrothers Watercolors by Bertie Brown

The BluezBrothers

original watercolor bluebirds: 10" x 8"


there’s rhythm ’n blues 

and these bluebirds know

when push comes to shove

all’s fair when it’s love

no sharin’ the treats

those mealy worm sweets

‘cause love conquers all

except when food calls

The Blues Brothers Watercolors by Bertie Brown

The Blues Brothers

original watercolor bluebirds" 8" x 10"

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

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!

The FooFighters Watercolors by Bertie Brown

The FooFighters

original watercolor bluebirds: 8" x 10"


My windows are open

Cool breezes are flowin’

My curtains are flirtin'

With the sill and the sash 

This is the way

A fine day in May

Ought always to be 

I bet you’d agree!

Paul'nPaula Bluebird Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Paul'nPaula Bluebird

original watercolor bluebirds: 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!

Blue on Blue Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Blue on Blue

original watercolor bluebirds: 8" x 10"


Eminent Domain

is eminent domain

something bluebirds disdain

as they each stake their claim

to my birdseed domain

don’t they have a clue

I have etiquette rules

they routinely eschew

behaving so RUDE

I’d tell them to flee

‘cause they’re making a scene

but they are rather cute

in their blue and orange suits

and their hollers and hoots

sound like piccolo flutes!

The Goodbye Girl Watercolors by Bertie Brown

The Goodbye Girl

original watercolor bluebirds: 8" x 10"


Winter Blues

oh, how I long for June or July

with summer sunshine

and butterflies passing by

this season of cold 

has taken it’s hold

with harsh winds now wailin’

seems the sun has gone sailin’

so I’m getting all set,

though it’s hard not to fret,

as blankets cover my lap

 and I settle in

for a long winter's nap

The Blues Watercolors by Bertie Brown

The Blues

original watercolor bluebirds: 8" x 10"

at this time of year

when cold is ev'rywhere

two glasses of wine, 

not one, calms my mind

might winter decease,

desist or at least

call it a day

and just go away

I’m tryin’ to stay 

upbeat, by the way,

with Mozart, i’ve got,

Beethoven and Bach

May the Bluebirds of...Watercolors by Bertie Brown

May the Bluebirds of..

original watercolor bluebirds: 6" x 8"


there’s def’nitely

a space for me

this spring indeed

as this I see 

more work to do

with more thought to

creative ways

that hit the mark

of ending well

 a well thought start
