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!

Quinbts' Jam Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Quints' Jam

original watercolor brass: 10" x 14" 

Do you suppose

a brass quintet knows

the power they have

when they take the stand?

with no bounds they can

sound like a big band

they get it just right

their notes high and bright

with jazzy quick licks

and trombone slide tricks

and then comes the horn

who sounds so forlorn

while whalin’ so true

you weep with him too..BB'23

The Music of the Spheres Watercolors by Bertie Brown

The Music of the Spheres

original watercolor musical instruments: 10" x 14"


if the trombone’s in charge

the trumpet won’t play

the horn won’t say

if he’ll go or stay

such is the way

our world behaves today

compromise is out

dissonance has clout

there could be peace and harmony

‘cause brass can play charming-ly
