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 WhiteHouse Watercolors by Bertie Brown

The Whitehouse

original watercolor home portrait: 8" 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!

Geezers Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Geezers

original watercolor snow geese: 8" x 10"


Middlecreek  Music

The sighting of geese

in the skies at Middlecreek

Is a frantic, 

Dramantic

Rhythmic affair

A honking, ear popping

Ca-cophony

'Tis nature'ally

A spring symphony!

Cor en Fa Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Cor en Fa

original watercolor horn: 8" x 10"


Practice makes better

But perfect?

Not ever...

Especially if horn playing

Is what you can do

You’ll prob’ly improve

But that’s questionable, too

My advice to you

Buy a French Horn Kazoo!

GangstaGaggle SnowGeese Watercolor by Bertie Brown

GangstaGaggle 

original watercolor snow geese: 10" x 14"


Middlecreek  Music

A gaggle of geese

Gathered at Middlecreek

Is a frantic yet rhythmic,

Noisy affair

With water splashing everywhere.. 

A honking, ear popping 

CA-cophony

It’s nature’s own winter

White symphony!

MiddleCreek Geese Watercolors by Bertie Brown

MiddleCreek Geese

original watercolor snow geese: 10" x 14"


we’ve got the blues

that’s certainly true

but we’ve also got

‘magination, a lot!

so natur-ally

these snow geese agree

a painting of us

is simply a must!

The BluezBrothers Watercolors by Bertie Brown

The BluezBrothers

original watercolor bluebirds: 10" x 8"


there’s rhythm ’n blues 

and these bluebirds know

when push comes to shove

all’s fair when it’s love

no sharin’ the treats

those mealy worm sweets

‘cause love conquers all

except when food calls

The BluesBrother Watercolors by Bertie Brown

The BluesBrother

original watercolor blurbird: 8" x 10"


there’s rhythm ’n blues 

and this bluebird knows

there’s cash to be passed

for this pic under glass

so here’s to his fans

and the money they hand

to the painter at her stand 

in the park, mannyman

The Quints'nClem Watercolors by Bertie Brown

The Quints'nClem

original watercolor Brass Quintet: 10" x 14"


Conch en Fa

There once was a seashell named Conch

Who was lonely, displeased with his lot

He puffed out his cheek

Buzzed a low mellow screech

Now he’s part of the rock group “Conch-crete”
