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!

Van Cleve-ish

original watercolor still life w/sunflowers, shoes: 9" x 12"

Fine Whine

my sister says

you are gonna get it

my sister says

 you get a weather credit

my sister says

when this winter has been bedded

and the spring is this way headed

it will be so fine

the temps so kind you’ll  renounce all your whine...

SolerSystem Watercolors by Bertie Brown

SolerSystem

original watercolor still life w/sunflowers, shoes: 10" x 14"


Winter Blues

oh, how I long for June or July

with summer sunshine

and butterflies passing by

this season of cold 

has taken it’s hold

with harsh winds now wailin’

seems the sun has gone sailin’

so I’m getting all set,

though it’s hard not to fret,

as blankets cover my lap

 and I settle in

 for a long mid-winter’s nap......

VanGogh-ish/VanCleve-ish Watercolors by Bertie Brown

VanGogh-ish/VanCleve-ish

original watercolor sunflowers/work shoes: 10" x 14"

press on, you say

so that’s what I do

not cease and desist

that’s never okay…

to break through the fray

you gotta hang tough

and paint every day

talent’s just not enough

Sunnies'nShoe Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Sunnies'nShoe

original watercolor sunflower 'n sworl shoe: 10" x 15"


Sunflower Girl Friends

I’m glad for late bloomers

as this season ends

each year it comes sooner

with the message it sends

to all of my battered

sunflower girl friends...

the dry trembling leaves

are scattered around

as sunflower sheaves

so brittle and brown

cool winds are approaching

pushing summer aside

with autumn encroaching

I nod and I sigh

 there’s no time to fuss

it’s just nature’s way

a fact that I must

embrace this fall day..
