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 Merry Meadow Waltz

just keep tryin’, you say
so that’s what I do

Sophie's Sweet Talkin' Friends Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Sophie's Sweet Talkin' Friends
original watercolor landscape w/figure, pony, burrow : 10" x 14"

Sophie and I 
are asking you-all
are buttercups high in cholesterol?
they glisten like butter
in their gold-yellow clusters
we think they’d taste great
and we’d be well fed
if we used them as spread
on our jelly bread
wouldn’t popcorn just popped
be better with hot
melted buttercups drizzled
all over the top?
is lobster that’s baked
in buttercup paste  
richer in flavor
more pleasing to taste?
Sophie and I
just giggled and said
we think that we’ll paint

her new friends instead!

Sunflower Alley Series By Bertie Brown

original:19"w x 15 1/2"h

Sunflower Alley

original:15"w x 21"h

And So It Goes

Seems the sun has turned a sudden cold shoulder

On our summertime romance,

Apparently now over.....

Gone are those golden sundrops

Dripping so warmly upon my face

Shivering shadows

Have now taken their place

While cobalt blue breezes

Rustle about,

Announcing the advancing autumnal season,

Teasing my summer tee shirts,

Taunting my silken skirts.....

The sun flowers are ruined

Their beauty in tatters,

Seeds, petals.....leaves,

Tossed about.....scattered.

So begins the march

Of the soldiering squirrels

As they gather the remains

Of my golden sun girls.....

[As quickly as ants

At a summertime picnic, they advance,

And I thought finches

Were sunflower grinches!]

So I’m left with the memories,

A great golden wall

Where my sunflowers surround me

Standing true, standing tall.

But wait,

Did that sun just now say?

“I’ll be back”

For next summer’s jitter-bug days!

Sunflower Alley by Bertie Brown

Sunflower Alley


The Blog....

Hey there Mommy

Guess what Daddy

Grandma BB

Got accepted

To a website

Or a blogsite

Which is just

What Grandma BB thinks is great luck!


She’ll post paintings

That are waiting

To be purchased

By a merchant

Or collector

Art inspector

Or someone

Who loves her work and wants to buy some......


She will prob’ly

Post our Ozzie

And that work she

Titled “Sophie”

She’ll work hours

Posting flowers

Music themes

And in between

Some landscape scenes....


Then we’ll wait here

Hope and pray here

That somebody

Sees her work there

And sends e-mails

With some details

Of an order for

A work to fit their decor!
