Title
Mill Pond in Summer
Artist
Betty Pieper
Medium
Painting - Acrylic On Hard Board
Description
This painting came out of some broad stroke charcoal sketches...mostly values and shapes...and more from my hand and mind, playing with acrylics early on and wild colors. It was my first painting juried into a prestigious national show wherein I had two paintings accepted; Norman Rockwell had one as I recall. I keep it for sentimental reasons.

Thanks so much! Now it seems a lot of artists paint in unusual colors but at one time I think I was the only person doing so in the U.S. This is still one of my favorites because it evokes the sweltering hot summer day as well as the coolness found by looking at white buildings near a quiet mill pond from the deep purple shade of trees.

your placement of all the elements in this painting as well as the liberated use of color make this piece very refreshing

Your comments made me think how different...yet the same...the Farm House in Winter and this Mill Pond are. I posted both just minutes ago.(I had a private email from Ms. Cozart of Lanning Gallery in Sedona, saying that my vision is "strong and unique.") Your comment of "decidedly your own" makes my day. It is music to an artist's ears. Thank you.
