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!

Cowbert'sHerd Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Cowbert'sHerd

original watercolor cows: 10" x 14"


Cowbert's in charge

and that really means

he's seen ev’rywhere

well that’s how it seems

it’s nat’ral you know

‘cause curiously

most cows are the same

they’re curious you see

so if there’s a change

some diff’rent decor

they're gonna be there

to check it, for sure!

Pasteurized Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Pasteurized

original watercolor cows: 9" x 12"


at the far end of summer

I woke up to see

my cowsers, indeed

eating tatters and seeds

the birdies and bees

and butterfly-ees

so curiously

were packing to flee

seems nectar so sweet

that thirst quenching treat

was gone completely

said their twitters and tweets

so I’m left behind

with nothing but time

that’s filled to the brim

with memories of them....

at the far end of summer

I so want to be

at the beginning of spring 

2 thousand something..

Lancaster Cownty Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Lancaster Cownty

original watercolor landscape w/cows: 10" x 14"


and the holstein cried

to the bovine on her right

why don’t we simply try

to lay our views aside

let's get along today 

‘cause that’s the kinder way

to graze in peace ’n harmony

will  benefit us all you see

ReCow*citrant Watercolors by Bertie Brown

ReCow*citrant

original watercolor cows: 9" x 12"

this world’s a porcupine

all sharp quills, sticking out

prickly, defensive

voices raised in deafening shouts

no generosity

nor compromise 

just hyper right-eousity

we're crumbling from the inside - 

gotta keep democra-city

Elsie Borden's Crew Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Elsie Borden's Crew

original watercolor cows: 9" x 12"

I forget

do gnus

rhyme with canoes

or maybe high heeled shoes

and what is the need

if you could, tell me please

of the extra L'd Llama

for it’s silent, do you see

is it oh so much better

to own one more letter

seems cows like to be

much more simple, thankfully

The Boss Watercolors by Bertie Brown

The Boss

original watercolor cows: 12" x 16"


i once had a thought

original and clever...

but that thought i forgot!

gone forever? i hope not..

still, i’m dismayed 

yes fraught and distraught

‘cause it may have been great

that thought i just lost!
