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!

C-Noli*Cat Pet Portrait Watercolors by Bertie Brown

C-Noli*Cat

original pet portrait: 9" x 12"

YOWZA

2000-twenty

has just gotta be

the WORSTest indeed

with no end it seems

so I gotta say

it's gettin' to be

depressin' for me

i bet you'd agree

there's nothin i'm see-in

that gives hope or reason

to think this plagued season

is gonna be leavin

it's certainly sure

there's more to endure

so maybe I’ll just

hide out for a bit

and paint what i see

for a so-slight reprieve

Anima*tion

original watercolor pet portraits, horse/cow/donkey: 8" x 10"


we LOVE our pets

present and past

if we’ve got some faults

so here’s to the joy-

ous acceptance they bring

as they always insist

Boo*Kay Daze Sunflower Watercolors by Bertie Brown

                                                                      Boo*Kay Daze

                                                     original watercolor sunflower bouquet: 10" x 14"

                                                                               are flowers

                                                                             sun showers

that show off their wares

right out in the public

on lawns everywhere

seems they are quite stoic

in fact we agree

we think they’re heroic

as they proudly say

we shivered through winter

as we hoped and prayed

that we’d bloom away

through summer's sun-days!

Legends of the Fall Watercolors by Bertie Brown


Legends of the Fall

original watercolor plein air: 9" x 12"


indigo grace 

a gentle place

for quiet thoughts

and simple talks

a plein air or two

a view point that's new

refreshed, inspired

we’ve work to do

so on we press

inspired no less

by cooler days

of Autumn-ness
