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!

MiddleCreek SnowGeese Watercolors by Bertie Brown

MiddleCreek Geese

original watercolor landscape w/geese: 8" x 10"


Cold Storage

'twas time for a hike

and take in the sight

of MiddleCreek geese 

before they take flight

seems they like the cold

‘though this winter’s plight

had less bite, I’m told

(I’m sure “they” are right)

but winter it is

and  snowgeese, not me

like cold weather, see

it’s summer I miss

but they don't agree

May the Bluebirds of...Watercolors by Bertie Brown

May the Bluebirds of..

original watercolor bluebirds: 6" x 8"


there’s def’nitely

a space for me

this spring indeed

as this I see 

more work to do

with more thought to

creative ways

that hit the mark

of ending well

 a well thought start

A River Runs Thru It Watercolors by Bertie Brown

A River Runs Thru It

original watercolor landscape: 9" x 12"

it’s relative-ly

a new work, you see 

with something that’s old

a shape big and bold

and some that are new

with int’resting hues

borrowed from yet

a past series set

hmmm...

it’s deja vu

for those orange and blues!

GardenGirl Watercolors by Bertie Brown

GardenGirl
original watercolor portrait: 8" x 10"
 Sophie and I know
that sometimes it’s best
to simply allow
a painting to rest
it may not be done
though there are intense
and beautiful hues
that seem to make sense
we want to be sure
we have to confess
that this work secures
it’s soulful-ishness

 if we’re good boyz’ngulz
follow all Fauci’s rulz

then maybe there might
be an opening in sight….

to a year living in fear
seems those sneaky chinese
’n their covid disease
have broken us indeed

PerkyPup Watercolors by Bertie Brown

PerkyPup

original watercolor pet portrait: 7" x 10"


I think that it’s done

and I had some fun

‘though there a few 

solutions that skewed

my original view

and managed to be

surprising, you see

so now I don’t know

if it’s fit to show

if not,

 you’ve just got

to tell me to Stop!
