Description
My great, great grandparents came to this land on the other side of the Ridge in 1867. I was privileged to commune with the land almost daily for 5 years because of caring for our elderly neighbor, Herman. I felt called to do this; I know my grandmother would have wanted me to. This fantasy work combines day and night...all the precious times I walked the land of my forebearers and lifted my eyes onto the hills across the valley .

Betty, one of the things I like about this painting - apart from the fact that it is heart-wrenchingly beautiful - is that you write up a story about it. I do this with some of my pictures. I think words can add something to a picture although of course a good picture stands on its own and needs no support. For instance, I learn from your write-up that this view isn't a "passing view" at all, but you and your family have an extremely long bond with it. You have Roots and it is here. That alone is highly significant. I wouldn't necessarily have known that just from looking at the picture, although I would have picked up on your love of this landscape from the way you painted it.
Betty Pieper replied:
That is important to hear, Arjun. I don't blog and so I often think maybe I write "too much" here. I'm so glad you liked both.

Oh my goodness, I just love this!
Betty Pieper replied:
Thank you so much. It's those wild spaces again that we love and sometimes enhance or invent more and more!

Betty!~Beautifully done! This is a fave, love the colors and feelings engendered. Will write more when I can...
Betty Pieper replied:
Thank you, Lenore, and congratulations on starting the Our World group...a lot of work I imagine. I hope to find a couple of works worthy of your inclusive and impassioned theme.

What a vivid and deeply emotional painting, with such a sense of life and meaning. Beautiful and engaging! Every brushstroke speaks your love of this place.
Betty Pieper replied:
Thank you. I wish I could have bought the land but it remains untouched except by good spirits and the native flora and fauna thrive. What more could I hope for!
