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!

OBX Overture Watercolors by Bertie Brown

OBX Overture
original seascape watercolor - OBX: 9" x 12"

barrier islands
all bluster and bluff,
with tumbling tides
to the shoreline they rush
wrestling waves
always in a huff
surf over the wake

of the splashes they make

Rockport Rocks! Seascape Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Rockport Rocks!
original watercolor seascape/Rockport, MA: 10" x 14"

On the Rocks
oh  my Sophie and me
we’d much rather be
on the rocks
by the docks
of Cape Ann by the Sea
and when a Nor’easter
those bellowing blows
nip at our keasters
our noses and toes
we just hold on tight
as it wails day and night
then blows out to sea

on day number three....

The Headlands in August Seascape Watercolors by Bertie Brown

The Headlands in August
original watercolor seascape Rockport, MA: 8" x 11"

Symphony in Sea Major
Lobster buoys afloat
Lighthouses as beacons
 Decorating the coast
Sublime northern light
Enveloping the sights
While dancing on tides
Tossing boats and floats
From side to side
Cormorants and gulls
Line up on the rocks
By the boats, or the docks
As they noisily wait
For some leftover bait
Granite boulders endure
Protecting the shore
Applauding the sea
BRAVO!
What a glorious symphony!
