For those interested in my painting process, this is the longest running oil! I did the preliminary that you see here in a life class (the first and only time I used a live nude) circa 1964. In the spirit of painting quickly as in the class I finished the work in about two hours a half century later. August 25, 2014.
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. Before the age of five, Betty had lived on Dean Street in Brooklyn, on Forsythe Street in Manhattan, on an estate in Westchester county, and with her grandparents in rural New York. She watched her father build their house nearby only to sell it and announce a move to California. In San Bernardino she lived in a trailer park and later in a rural farmhouse without running water, then in an historic mansion with an Indian cellar. How did this itinerant childhood influence her art? "I learned...

Well, that's one reason why I find your profile icon so intriguing....It is YOU at work. I've been cutting original stencils to use on my red and green walls...philodendrons ...and wondered if I had a camera to record the process would anyone be interested. Maybe they would...and maybe I should get a camera?! Thanks for your support.

Charlotte...Yes,you have hit your stride AGAIN. It is interesting that both of us feel uniquely connected to our younger selves and trust in our continuing productivity. Nice to be so self confident even in the midst of evolution.

Read about you, so interesting. We may have driven past each other in the Southwest. I enjoyed seeing photos of you and began to scrutinize your free spirited work. Fascinating. That is a load you carry so glad you have always had painting. I can't imagine being old and not having it to play with. I may have suddenly hit an island style at last and it works with the tremor in my hand. I may put the gradual evolving style up just to watch it change. I am stacking them but definitely will photograph each stage. I stacked most of first 1000 while I was studying but wish I had photographed them. Now I feel the same way I want to destroy them until I can be somewhat with them. I will enjoy seeing all your galleries. Oh and The Innocents fascinating but you must be stunned.

Thanks for sharing a very intimate photo. Peace, O.

I meant previously unknown, never shown before artists.
Betty Pieper replied:
The photo was taken just a couple of days ago, but the canvas was in its original state from the early 60s; wish I could say the same for me!

I'm so glad you had this photo to post. One sees where it began. It was already good. Now it's great,I don't feel real artist grow old, and I believe wise collectors as well as gallery owners know that, even in NYC.There was a renaissance of showing fine abstract expressionist pieces of really old artists in 2010 in Manhattan.

Thank you, Ryan. I love your optimism as well as your support. I'm thinking Saatchi and most other galleries actively avoid old women not matter how they paint. They look for young and "emerging" and promote the belief that such an "investment" will turn into big cash. The truth is more likely that buying what one loves will be the best investment over the long run. I've found great pleasure in what I collect and see every day and don't care if the creators are alive or dead.

Fantastic work Betty, awesome to see you get this one finished. The half century creation process will surly add a great deal of value to the buyer who snaps this one up.
