In preparing this small canvas some of the lines reminded me of a child's stick figure...and I thought "What kind of figure would dekooning have done as a little boy?"

This was a fun painting with some serious commentary on creativity, how art is interpreted, our primary influences as artists, punishments for kids and other heavy thoughts.
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, This is a superb little painting.I love the smart art humor. So glad I found your work on FAA!
Betty Pieper replied:

Thanks so much. I can just hear the kids saying, "But Mom, maybe someday I'll be famous. You shouldn't squelch my creativity."

A big thank you, Carole, for featuring this in Home for All Artists Gallery. A great honor. I'm not sure if people get the joke as I meant it here but I had this vision for a whole night and it just tickled me so I decided to put it in paint.
