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!

The Heart of the Orchestra Watercolors by Bertie Brown

The Heart of the Orchestra
original watercolor instrumental w/strings, woodwinds: 10" x 14"

 A String Thing
The strings are such
A complicated section,
We say that and invoke
Our greatest affection,
With notes that soar
To the highest of heights
The violins bow frantically
Trying to get it just right!
And notes writ so low
A bass’s brow frowns
While bending to bow
So low to the ground.
Always self important
No humility, not a trace
They sit right up front
And take up prime stage space.
The rest of the orchestra
Accepts this with grace
Their parts they play well..
 They are quite exceptional,

And oh so professional...
