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!

Lititz Art Show July 29 : 9 - 5 NO RAIN ALLOWED!

Posers in the Park
Here we come
Chargin’ to the park
we’re gonna get there real early
While it’s still pretty dark
Hey, hey we’re the ‘Posers’
We’ve got a lot of work yet to do
We have to sell ourselves all to you
So we better get hangin’

Ourselves in the Bertie Brown Booth!

Crimson Com-Poser Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Crimson Com-Poser
original watercolor sunflowers: 9" x 12"

Cavalier about Cheer
my sunflower girls 
have got to admit
they long for a world
where they could just sit
they’ve got but one shoe
though it’s a great fit
a minute without it
would help quite a bit
their long leggy-ness
can cause some back strain
a slight dizzy-ness
and dull aching pain
but stand there they do
displaying such cheer
for one month or two
this time of the year
it’s quite cavalier

and exhausting, I fear!

The Leader of the Pack Sunflower Watercolors by Bertie Brown


The Leader of the Pack
original watercolor sunflowers: 9" x 12"

Sophie and i 
in summertime mode
are sitting beside
a sunflower abode
a garden, of course
where we plan to stay
with no great remorse
for past cooler days
‘cause we’ve got our paints
our brushes and such
our sun hats in place
and posers? a bunch!
so here’s where we’ll be
come sun or a storm
we’ll work happily

our summertime  ‘norm’!

Susque-Hammock Plein Air Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Susque-Hammock
original plein air watercolorat Wrightsville, PA: 9" x 12"

Summer Solstice
'tis mid-summer too soon
what happened to June?
and July’s on the run
yet it’s hardly begun!
i don’t know about you
but I’m gonna assume
you’re distraught just like me
‘cause we love summer’s ease
i’m thinking we might
have to put up a fight
so when summertime ends

let’s begin it again

It's Poser Time! Watercolors by Bertie Brown

It's Poser Time!
original watercolor still life w/Sunflowers: 9" x 12"

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