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!

RoosterStew Watercolors by Bertie Brown

RoosterStew

original watercolor chickens: 9" x 12"


Remember in school

we learned the rule

that there were cliques

a specialty list

of kids way cool

though we weren’t fools

our own gene pools

just did not rule

we weren’t as blessed

our confidence less

we weren’t sure why 

and could not guess

and now these guys 

in their own eyes

just know they'd be

the pop-ular kids, indeed!

ChikFilet Watercolors by Bertie Brown

ChikFilet

original watercolor chickens: 9" x 12"


there’s rhythm ’n blues 

and these chickens know

when push comes to shove

all’s fair when it’s love

no sharin’ the treats

and mealy worm sweets

‘cause love conquers all

except when food calls

Colonel Sanders Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Colonel Sanders

original watercolor chickenz: 9" x 12"


there’s rhythm ’n blues 

and these chickenz know

when it comes down to lunch

it's a push to shove bunch

no sharin’ the treats

or wiggly worm sweets

'cause sharing it all

works not when food calls

Gladys Knight and the Chix Watercolors by Bertie Brown


Gladys Knight and the Chix

original watercolor chickens


And the chicken said

to her buddies in the pen

why can’t we simply try

to lay our views aside

let’s get along today

‘cause that’s the better way

to live in peace and harmony

will benefit us all, you see

FowlPlay Watercolors by Bertie Brown

FowlPlay

original watercolor chickens: 8" x 10"


Pecking Order

chickens are funny

their demeanors rarely sunny

it seems they’re addicted

and undeniably afflicted

with an un-named disease

or “condition” if you please

that affects their whole being

and fogs up their seeing

‘cause down in the pen

a red-head's the source

of a hen-pecked's remorse......

ChickenTrix Watercolors by Bertie Brown

ChickenTrix

original watercolor chickens: 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!

The Funky Chicken Watercolors by Bertie Brown

The Funky Chicken

original watercolor chickens: 9" x 12"


You cannot be chicken

If you play french horn

Unless you are thinkin’

You’d like a good lickin’

‘Cause that horn can balk

And sound out a squawk

While Beethoven rolls over

As you shrug your shoulder

You cannot be chicken

If you play french horn

Unless you are thinkin’

You’d like a good lickin’

When that horn does balk

Sounding out a loud squawk

And Beethoven rolls over

As you shrug your shoulder

En Plein Air QwikPix Watercolors by Bertie Brown

 Angry Birds
Tractor Shax
En Plein Air QwikPix
original watercolor chickens/farmscape: 8" x10" / 10" x 14"

are Lightning Bugs 
buggers
that blink in the night
just summer time pluggers
getting on with their lives
or do they endeavor
to be so much better
when call-ed fire-flies
alighting June nights
it’s really semantics
but much more romantic
and downright dra-mantic
to portray all their frantic
light sparking antics
when their claim to fame
- a butt with a flame -

is enhanced by a name

Angry Birds Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Angry Birds
original watercolor landscape w/chickens: 7" x 10"

I once had a thought
original and clever...
but that thought I forgot!
gone forever? I hope not..
still, I’m dismayed 
so fraught and distraught
‘cause it may have been great

that thought I just lost!
