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 Garden Girl Watercolors by Bertie Brown

The Garden Girl 

original watercolor garden girl: 7" x 10"


Curiosity

curiouser and curiouser

it seems to me

this summer’s the bomb

at flirting, you see

‘cause just when you feel

a cool  weightless breeze

a sun so friendly

you’re relaxin’ indeed

a thick hulking cloud 

of hu-MID-ity

descends with a shout

and spreads itself out

oh yes there’s the rub

to summer time fun

those idyllic days

come quickly undone....

Tammy's Garden Watercolors by Bertie Brown


Tammy's Garden

original watercolor landscape w/sunflowers, garden girl: 8" x 10"


the 2023 

sunflower field

is in my backyard

it’s a sunflower farm

with plenty of charm

there’s gold in the glow

of this sumptuous show

as the finches and bees

in their feasting agree

so let’s have some fun

before summer’s done

we’ve one month or two

to enjoy the view!

Guardin' Girl Watercolors by Bertie Brown


Guardin' Girl : 8" x 11" 
Com-Posers: 15" x 15"
original watercolor sunflowers and landscape

Eminent Domain
is eminent domain
something finches disdain
as they each stake their claim
to my sunflowers’ fame
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
and a mess at my feet
spitting shells from their beaks
but they are rather cute
in their black and gold suits
and their hollers and hoots

sound like piccolo flutes!

Gardening Girl Watercolors by Bertie Brown


                                                
Garden Girl
original watercolor w/garden, girl:8" x 8"
I keep pressing on
‘cause that’s what I do
to see what comes next
with a painting or two
so now summer’s here
and what’s gonna bloom?
well, stand up and cheer
our sunflowers, real soon!
though weeding’s a trial
a pain in the neck!
our garden girl’s style
deftly keeps them in check!
