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!

Posers Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Posers

original watercolor still life w/tulips: 9" x 12"

there’s def’nitely

a space for me

in this new year

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

2 Beez or not 2 Beez Watercolors by Bertie Brown

2 Beez or not 2 Beez

original watercolor w/flowers , bees: 9" x 12"

a bevy of bees

sip nectar, sneak about

balletic butterflies

nibble coyly, wings spread out

we’re down in the ‘hood’
the ambience, good
we all share this space
extolling its’ grace
but finches, those grinches
just don’t play the game
they swoop in a fury
causing many to scurry
the petals they strip
snip nip and rip
the shells from the seeds
they spit at my feet
fine-ly they flee
those snippy birdies
and all of us "B"s
are grateful returnees
it all happens here
this summer fiesta
at BB’s Belly deli
my haven of resta!

Ranuncul-AYYS Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Ranuncul-AYYS

original watercolor ranunculus : 9" x 12"


more red'ngold girls

than we’d hoped for or imagined

it looks just like

a beauty pageant!

my grandie and I, artistic hosses

are painting their portraits

till our perky bosses

are simply long stems

with great petal losses!

we’ve less than a week

to get the job done 

we’re hoping for good weather

with plenty of sun!
