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 Pieper received her first set of oils at the age of ten and has been painting ever since. Her work has been selected by prominent jurors for prestigious regional and national exhibitions and is owned by people throughout the country.

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 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!
