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!

Treasure Trove Still Life Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Treasure Trove
original still life watercolor w/pitchers, bottles: 14 1/2" x 17"

cast all your cares
you must let them go
He wants to provide
His word says it’s so
but
if i do not learn
from my past mistakes
i thwart all the grace
and just run in place
yet
there is a rock
and a mercy seat
where grace is revealed
in humility
now
this cornerstone
it beckons to me
i kneel myself down
and freely receive

Mom's Treasures Still Life Watercolors by Bertie Brown


Mom's Treasures
original watercolor still life w/carnival glass, wedgewood, pitcher: 15" x 11"
Sophie and I
 are still searchin’ out
and tryin to paint
Mom’s stuff with restraint
but when we begin
we hardly can wait
to get those hues down
-let color abound!
so onward we go
with orange and blue
it’s likely to be
our Grandma series

Treasure Trove Still Life Watercolors by Bertie Brown


Treasure Trove
original still life watercolr w/pitchers, bottles: 15" x 11"
Winter Wind
a bully buster
with plenty of huff
a blustering guster
and I’ve had enough
so I’ll stay inside
warmed by the stove
to paint a still life
of her treasure trove

An Apple Today Still Life Watercolors by Bertie Brown


An Apple Today
original still life watercolor w/depression glass, lace: 11" x 14"

What, Ho
it’s FREEZIN’ outside
‘cause what is it now
‘bout 20 below??
we don’t have enough
closets of coats
to keep out the chill
of this winter’s huff
and wind, I declare
is pushin’ the bounds
of stayin’ beyond
good manners, I swear!
so Sophie and I
surrender, okay?
we’re takin’ a break
from runnin’ out there
it's time to create
our still life's set up
we sit side by side 
we're ready to paint!
