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!

UPtown Girl Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Uptown Girl

original watercolor cityscape w/woodwinds: 10" x 14"


The French Conundrum

The French Horn is happy

Wherever it plays

From Woodwinds and Brass

To  the Strings with such class.

Yes, the instruments agree

That it’s sound does so please.

And most of the time

The horn is quite amiable

But it can get unruly

And downright unplayable

NY State of Mind Watercolors by Bertie Brown

NY State of Mind
original watercolor cityscape/ NY: 12" x 16"

Play Away
it’s really okay
to chill out and play
we all know we should
(that is understood)
but still we forget
and totally get
ourselves in fun debt
we think if we could 
buy us some fun
then surely we would 

feel wonderf’ly good

What a spectacular sight!

And deep scarlet canopies down below

Announcing Lancaster’s Shopping District

Where savvy Lancaster shoppers always go!


Alive in our memories, those days gone now

We remember it fondly.

Shopping back then seemed better somehow.......

NY State of Mind by Bertie Brown

NY State of Mind

image:6"w x 8 1/2"h

framed:13 1/2"w x 17 1/2"h

“It’s Raining, It’s Pouring....

Sophie and I were bored

As we peered out the back door

And had to acknowledge

The steady downpour

We put on our thinking caps

Our imagination soared!

Hmm, I know,

Let’s go to New York and back

Via Lancaster’s Amtrak.

We’ll walk up Fifth Ave

Take in all the sights

We do wish “Les Mis”

Was playing The Shubert tonight.

We’ll visit Times Square

With bright neon lights

On tall buildings everywhere..

We quickened our step

We really must get

Ourselves to the Met

For a fabulous new show

Bronzino drawings, you know....

The day was soon gone

We made our way back

To Grand Central Station

Our memories intact.

This mini- vacation

Was great stimulation

The ride home so relaxing

We spent the time happily...
