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!

BlueVelvet Watercolors by Bertie Brown

BlueVelvet

original watercolor bluebird: 8" x 10"


there’s rhythm ’n blues 

and this bluebird knows

there’s cash to be passed

for this pic under wraps

so here’s to his fans

and the money they hand

to the painter 

at her stand 

she’s gonna be glad

ChikFilet Watercolors by Bertie Brown

ChikFilet

original watercolor chickens: 9" x 12"


there’s rhythm ’n blues 

and these chickens know

when push comes to shove

all’s fair when it’s love

no sharin’ the treats

and mealy worm sweets

‘cause love conquers all

except when food calls

The Root Cause Watercolors by Bertie Brown

The Root Cause

original watercolor onions/garlic: 9" x 12"


there’s more to see

from Studio B

‘cause there’s never enuff

paintings of stuff

specific-ally

aromatic-ally

onions so fine

and garlic sublime...

I hope they’re in vogue

for upscale art shows!

Bulb*Lite Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Bulb*Lite

original watercolor onions: 9" x 12"


just keep paintin', they say

so that’s what I do

not cease and desist

that’s never the way...

to break through the fray

you gotta hang tough

and paint every day

talent’s just not enough

Redskins Redux Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Redskins Redux

original watercolor onions: 9" x 12"


And the onion said

to his buddies in the bed

why can’t we simply try

to lay our views aside

let’s get along today

‘cause that’s the better way

to live in peace and harmony

will benefit us all, you see

Roots'nBlues Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Roots'nBlues

original watercolor onions: 9" x 12"

we’ve got the blues

that’s certainly true

but we’ve also got

‘magination, a lot!

so natur-ally

these onions, three

came out just to pose

and away those blues go!

Young-ions Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Young-ions

original watercolor onions: 9" x 12"

spring is a tease

don’t flatter her please

‘cause she’s such a flirt

in her onion sprout skirt

oh some days she’s warm

and sweet, that’s for sure

while other days roar

with cold winds ’n storms

so face it, we’re not friends

and i do wish she’d end

‘cause i’m in the mood

for a summer long June
