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!

original watercolor landscape w/ Juno the beagle: 10" x 14"

Juno's in charge

and that really means

he's been ev’rywhere

well that’s how it seems

it’s nat’ral you know

‘cause curiously

most pets are the same

they’re curious you see

so if there’s a change

some diff’rent design

he's gonna be there

to make sure all's fine

Parks'n Rec Landscape Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Parks'n Rec

original watercolor landscape: 8" x 10"

So

 we followed the rulz

like good boys ’n gulz

doubled our masks

and dosed up on vaxx

degermed to compulsion

followed science to exhaustion

and still those cooties

causing covid19

are ruling our days

and all of our ways

we’re not yet allowed

to gather in crowds

those holiday feasts

have simply deceased

and now we’ve been warned

our July Fourth is scorned

no celebratin' please

our past history

MiddleCreek SnowGeese Watercolors by Bertie Brown

MiddleCreek Geese

original watercolor landscape w/geese: 8" x 10"


Cold Storage

'twas time for a hike

and take in the sight

of MiddleCreek geese 

before they take flight

seems they like the cold

‘though this winter’s plight

had less bite, I’m told

(I’m sure “they” are right)

but winter it is

and  snowgeese, not me

like cold weather, see

it’s summer I miss

but they don't agree

A River Runs Thru It Watercolors by Bertie Brown

A River Runs Thru It

original watercolor landscape: 9" x 12"

it’s relative-ly

a new work, you see 

with something that’s old

a shape big and bold

and some that are new

with int’resting hues

borrowed from yet

a past series set

hmmm...

it’s deja vu

for those orange and blues!

BreezyView Watercolors by Bertie Brown

BreezyView

original watercolor landscape BreezyView: 9" x 12"


so,

if we’re good boyz’ngulz

follow all of the rulz

wear a mask, take our meds

then there maybe just might

be an opening in sight….

from 6 weeks to 6 months

to a year living in fear

seems those nasty chinese

’n their covid cooties

’n rev’rund Fauci 

have broken us indeed

Sunflower Alley Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Sunflower Alley
original watercolor en plein air sunflower field: 17" x 22"
prints available

summer is waning
i do hate to say
it wasn’t the best-est
in many a way
oh, some days were great
clear skies to the moon
the sun dripping rays
sunflowers in bloom
but most days were WET
with water drenched air
rain forest-y, yes
oppressive, you bet
still…summer’s the time
when memories shine
and life seems a bit 
more civilized, kind

ShadyCharacter & Gotta Have Faith Portraait Watercolors by Bertie Brown

 Shady Character
original watercolor portrait: 8" x 10"
Gotta Have Faith
original watercolor portrait: 8" x 10"

I once had a thought
original and clever...
but that thought I forgot!
gone forever? 
I hope not..
still, I’m dismayed 
fraught and distraught
‘cause it may have been great

that thought I just lost!

The View Watercolors by Bertie Brown

The View
original watercolor landscape: 8" x 10"

Cold Front
The windows I’m closin’
my sunflowers need  hosin’
it’s blisterin hot
not one cold spot
‘cept here by the door
of the freezer in the store
where I pretend to stock up
on creamsicle pops
but truth to be told
it’s just good to feel cold!

The Ox'n Lamb Kept Time Watercolors by Bertie Brown

The Ox'n Lamb Kept Time
original watercolor landscape w/ox, lambs: 9" x 12"

Harmo-nious Perso-nious
went out for a run 
this very fine day
had lots to be done
stuff that gets in the way
of some fun in the sun
but nature’s libretto
called out ceremo-nious
in pleasing vibrato
a sound tremolo-nious
twas something I sought to
experience in perso-nious
and when I got done
on this very fine day
from my run in the sun

I was all tuned up and completely harmo-nious
