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!

Duet at Rest Musical Motif Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Duet at Rest
original watercolor still life w/horn, trumpet: 23" x 19"

back in school
we learned the rule
that there were cliques
a specialty list
of kids way cool
though we weren’t fools
our own gene pools
just did not rule
we weren’t as blessed
our confidence less
we weren’t sure why 
and could not guess
but since I've grown
I have been known
to play horn well
for quite a spell
now as I paint
I simply state
this art I make
is instrumentally
a quirk of fate

Inter-Resting Musical Motif Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Inter-Resting
original watercolor still life w/horn, trumpet: 11" x 15"

we’ve got the blues,
Sophie, me too
it’s way too cold
but what can we do
I think we’ll paint
a still life today
until those blues

they just go away.....

Music'ly Inclined Still Life Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Music'ly Inclined
original still life watercolor w/sunflowers, violin: 15" x 20"
alchemy
posers squared
a violin with flare
a nip and a tuck
with fabric and stuff
stripes more than one
when does it become
a still life that’s done
a g-clef subdued
a vase with bright hues
so hoping this view

is pleasing to you!

van Gogh-ish Sunflower Watercolors by Bertie Brown

van Cleve-ish
original watercolor still life w/sunflowers: 11" x 15"
van Gogh-ish
original watercolor still life w/sunflowers: 8" x 11"

what HO!
is it SO??
well not quite
you know
I maybe could wait
but surely 'twas fate
that beckoned me thus
to BUY them and paint
and so here I am
content once again
though just for a bit
in sunny respite
yes here's to van Gogh
my master hero
of yellow/gold hues
I've got the Sunflower Blues

Com-Pearing Still Life Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Com-Pearing
original still life watercolor w/pears, carnivalware: 11" x 14"
And the top pear said
to her buddies down below 
why can’t we simply try
to lay our views aside
let’s get along today
‘cause that’s the better way
let's live in quiet harmony
and peace will surely follow, see?
