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!

Glassified Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Glassified

original watercolor still life : 22" x 22"

Reveille Reverie

Morning runs unfold

The music in my soul

With meandering meadow melodies

And streams humming harmonies

My footsteps add rhythm

While my soul sings along with’em

Glassified Watercolors by Bertie Brown


Glassified

original watercolor still life: 22" x 20"


it ain’t heavy

it’s my stuff

i insisted

in a huff

yet surely i know

that some things just must

go with the flow 

 no muss and no fuss

tis soon summer's eve

which obviously

will be what will be

good bad or ugly!

Spring is in the Air Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Spring is in the Air
original watercolor still life w/lamp, flowers, apple: 10" x 14"

Sophie’s Sun Sack
remember back when
we played in the sun
yes summer was then
days so full of fun
and do you recall
you looked up to ask
could we pack it all
up tight in a sack
we’d store it away
then open that pack
on a cold winter’s day

for a sun bathing nap!
(Today was that day!)

The Soloist Watercolors by Bertie Brown

The Soloiest
original watercolor still life w/violin, glass : 11" x 15"

'twas time to relax
and take in the sight
of violin and glass
huddling en mass
seems they were just cold
‘though this season's bite 
will be less, i’m told
but winter it is
and these things, like me,
miss summer you see

i think you'd agree

Passages Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Passages
original watercolor still life w/bust, glass, daisy: 14" x 18"

the piano-forte
is high on my list
of things i should try
before i am missed
but how in the world
could my fingers and toes
work all of those keys
and pedals of gold???
i can’t even think
of reading bass clef
‘cause treble takes all
 the brains i’ve got left
so maybe i’ll just
be happy that i 
was suitably good 
playing horn while i could

I've Got Sunshine Watercolors by Bertie Brown

I've Got Sunshine
original watercolor still life w/ girl, glass, flower: 14" x 16"
i’m betting that she
is related to me
in her favorite nook
she continues to look
at her favorite flower
hour upon hour
with hope and a prayer

for an autumn that's fair
