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!

Circling Back Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Circling Back

original watercolor still life w/violin: 12" x 15"


the violin’s a diva girl

when bowed she lets her notes unfurl

when plucked

her notes are quite abrupt

and when she’s played her last hurrah

she bows and takes two curtain calls!

Fish Line Watercolors By Bertie Brown

Fish Line
watercolor still life w/horn, fish bottle, glass: 11" x 15"

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!

Renaissance Girl Still Life Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Renaissance Girl
original drawing: 8" x 10"
What ho! 
the winds they are screamin’
my house it is leanin’
right into the flow
of tonite's frosty blow
my windows are bulgin’
the furnace is pulsin'
this nor’westerly hold
is keepin’ me cold
my goosebumps I declare
have goosebumps I swear
my icicled nose 

is more froze than my toes!

Sticks and Licks Watercolors by Daily Painter Bertie Brown - Art is Instrumental

Sticks and Licks

drawing:18" x 22"

in the beginning

I had a thought

then came a drawing

twas all that I sought

now here’s the big thing

will I paint with style

or just have a quick

lollipop lick

or munch on a thick

black licorice whip
