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!

Motif #1 Land/Seascape Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Lyrical Landscape
original watercolor landscape w/barn

Motif #1/Rockport
original watercolor/Rockport, Motif #1: 6" x 7"

sometimes when I doubt
and nothing is clear
my horn just comes out
and a painting appears!
but sometimes it’s true
other subjects are fun
and some I can do
like Motif #1!
of course there are times
when plein air’s the way
and sunny warm climes
mean a landscape paint day!

Poppy Polka Watercolor Poppies by Bertie Brown






Poppy Polka
original watercolor Poppies: 11" x 7"/ 7" x 11"
Poppy Pageant
more little red-haired girls
than we’d hoped for or imagined
it looks just like
a beauty pageant!
Sophie and I, artistic hosses
are painting their portraits
till our poppy bosses
are simply long stems
with great petal losses!
we’ve less than a week
to get the job done 
we’re hoping for good weather
with plenty of sun!

Ragtime Musical Motif Watercolors by Bertie Brown



Ragtime
original musical motif watercolor w/piano, horn, trumpet, cat: 8" x 11"

the piano is back
and these are the facts
there’s still lots to do
with a keyboard that’s new
but vintage is in
what a glorious thing
it’s sound does inspire
what ragtime requires
a bouncy upbeat
Scott Joplin-esque treat

Petite Suites Musical Motif Watercolors by Bertie Brown




Petite Suites
original watercolor musical motif w/turmpet, cello, accordion player: 7" x 11"

more petite suites
and musical peeks
of soloists, if you please
‘cause of course, you see
they’ve got the same theme
so theoretical-ly
what’s next just might be...
a kazoo player in green!
