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!

Beach Front Property Watercolors by Bertie Brown

 

Beach Front Property

original seascape: 10:" x 15"


Barrier Islands

All bluster and bluff

With towering tides

Always in a huff

Race toward shore

Biting the beach

With a low rumbling roar

The sighing sands

Surrender their turf

While tall dancing dunes

Watch over the surf

Their beach bonnets swaying

And “No Trespassing” signs waving.......

Oh To Be By The Sea Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Oh to be By the Sea

original watercolor seascape: 12" x 15"


oh to be

 by the sea

just my fam’ly and me

sunblocked nose

bug sprayed toes

sunning responsibly

grasses sway 

sand dunes say

join all nature at play

roaring surf

sandy turf

it’s an OBX day!

Beyond Bearskin Neck Seascape Watercolors by Bertie Brown


Beyond Bearskin Neck
original watercolor seascape/ Bearskin Neck, Rockport MA: 9" x 12"

Lobsterman Shacks
Floats, traps
Lobsterman snacks
Ropes, tacks
Fishing knick-knacks
Boots, slickers
Lobsterman knickers
I bet there’s a place 
For trusty duct tape
And WD 40
They’ve got it, surely
All this and more
Behind windows and doors
Filling crannies and nooks
And hanging on hooks
So remember this stuff 
When you’re all in a huff
As you pay lots of bucks
For that Lobster you thought
cost way too darn much

At the boat dock co-op!

Motif #1 Rockport, MA Watercolors by Daily Painter Bertie Brown

My Motif #1 Rockport, MA
original watercolor seascape, Rockport Motif #1: 15" x 15"

Motif #1 Rockport, MA
original watercolor seascape, Rockport Motif #1: 15" x 15"
Sophie’s Rockport
floats, boats
fisherman totes
nets, tack
Lobsterman shacks
is any place better?
where’s BB, I’ll ask
and BB asked me 
Sophie,
what do you see?
steadfast granite rocks
weathered wooden docks
frigid north atlantic
boisterous, frantic...
and Sophie my dear
what do you hear?
cormorants and gulls
a cacophony of calls
tides singing songs
of the sea all  day long...
though I am just a novice,
BB, 
I’ve got it!
sturdy framed homes
granite popple stones
smooth and polished
by their beach bathing frolics
buoys with bright stripes
dancing in the light
and motif #1
standing proud in the sun
saluting seafarers 
both living and gone
yep, BB and me
 we both agree
Rockport by the sea
is the best place to be!

Dunes Dance (Series) by Bertie Brown

Dunes Dance

image: 18 1/2"w x 8 1/2"h

framed: 28 1/2"w x 19"h

Barrier Islands

All bluster and bluff

With towering tides

Racing to shore

Always in a huff

Biting the beach

Advancing more and more....

The sighing sands

Surrender their turf

While tall dancing dunes

Watch over the surf

Their beach bonnets swaying

And “No Trespassing” signs waving.......
