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!

Sophie Says

I want a quick

lollipop lick

while I ponder a bit

over licorice whips

Still Strawberries

original watercolor strawberries: 6" x 6"

Sophie and I

are still apt to buy

those berries we see

in grocery isle 3

and this is in spite

of no great delight

in partaking of such

a tasteless sad bunch

but we hope for the best

forgetting the rest

trusting that these

will deliciously please!

Lollipop Licks and Brassy Politics Watercolors by Bertie Brown - Art is Instrumental

Lollipop Licks and Brassy Politics

original musical motif watercolor w/brass trio: 11" x 14"

menage a trois

if the trombone’s in charge

the trumpet won’t play

the horn won’t say

if he’ll go or stay

such is the way

our world behaves today

compromise is out

dissonance has clout

there could be peace and harmony

‘cause trios can play charming-ly
