Daisies - Bett's Style
Judy Betts is a watercolorist whom I greatly admire. In fact, when asked
which artists I like the most, she will be in my top 5. At the same time,
I've never directly taken a lesson from her. In fact, I've never met her.
But I have seen her work and have always loved it. Her work is truly
unique, and for some time, I have marveled at how she uses her colors.
In an almost seamless way, she can change the depth and hue and seem to
make it seem exactly right. She provided some insight, though, in an article
in a watercolor magazine which I read in June, 2014. As I read it,
a glimmer of light and a lot of excitement entered into my
imagination. Quickly, I had brush in hand and attempted to try her method
on several small pieces. Just as quickly, I found that what she seems to do
so easily, I could only attempt. Nevertheless, using a photo of some daisies
I had given my wife, I blended some of her methods with my own in a
painting. The result is "Daisies, Betts' Style". If I ever do get to meet her,
I simply want to thank her for the inspiration she gives to others through
her work. And should you decide to be the one who purchases this
painting, I sincerely hope that you feel the joy I did
in painting it.
