Description
I used my beloved primary colors with soft overlays and mixed hues. A collector fell in love with the light touch - then only possible with oils. It was sold online several years ago.

Amazing abstract artwork. Love the interpretation and the color rendering is phenomenal. L/F
Betty Pieper replied:
Thank you so much. I think I not only used oil exclusively in the days I did this but also with a lighter hand. Sometimes I wish I could recapture that because I also loved this work which sold quickly.

Magnificent abstract painting Betty! L
Betty Pieper replied:
Thank you....About a year ago I started using oils again...partly because I loved the feel of these early works and I like the 'fragrance' in the studio, too!
Betty Pieper
Thank you, Ryan. You have a good eye and I like the specific comments. I've been fortunate to have some of the best artist/reviewers comment here. I wish I could recapture some of the neat things in these early works.

No surprise this one sold as its just splendid, it almost has a dreamlike quality about it. love the colours and shapes.The light use of paint has added to the overall quality, will take this little tip away with me :) Thank you
Ellen Tully
I like your use of color and wide strokes without being well defined but enough so that the viewer can see the intention. Beautiful work.
Betty Pieper replied:
Thank you, Ellen. A lot of my early works are the ones people like most. The oils had a lustre that I can't get with acrylics. I'm using oils again but not in the sparing way I did when I had no money and painted lightly. I loved your site....the graffiti tour as well as your gorgeous floral photos!

I love the way subject matter blends with abstractiion in these paintings.
Betty Pieper replied:
Thanks, again. I did a nonrepresentational this AM and by noon it turned into breakfast at a pension in the Black Forest. I guess I like the idea of getting a two for one out of my efforts. (Paint One, Get One Free?!)

I can see why your teacher saw you as the next Georgia O'Keefe as I view this again and again. Definitely Betty go for abstraction.You have that special ingredient. Listen to Len.
Betty Pieper replied:
Everything I do will always be quite 'abstract' since I don't like or aspire to 'realism'...but it seems some subject matter always creeps in and it is very hard for me to keep to completely to nonrepresentation. Maybe that's why I admire those of you would can do that!
Betty Pieper
Chana...Thanks for your insights as always. I am quite sincere in reiterating that I learn a lot from you...the group discussions on abstract expressionism and the comments here. In reading this I remembered how I would always paint with a rag, brush, and palette knife in hand...not at hand...and use them alternately like a juggler!
Studio Tolere
Betty I love this style that is so uniquely yours. Your way with line work, staying on the edge of definition and open shape/space is one of my favorite qualities in abstract work-what attracted me to it in the first place. v f
Betty Pieper
omg, Len. What a remarkable upper. I have been struggling lately with "too much realism" creeping in and this is the push that may get me to go back to where I belong. Your opinion is held in honor. Thanks.
Barbara St Jean
So beautiful, love the soft flow and colours!! F/V
Betty Pieper replied:
Thanks a million. It is nice to receive such heady feedback. I'm thinking seriously of going back to oils...for awhile. Or printmaking...You know how that goes, right?
Heather Matthews
This painting has a lovely colourful and summery feel.
Betty Pieper replied:
Thank you so much. I see you are from Germany and I have to say that I remember some beautiful lakes and waterways there! I like your photo and the background.
