Betsy new work

These paintings , 24x24 on canvas, continuing my series of pond subjects were influenced by the Earthquake, Tsunami in Japan.  We have family living there, thankfully they are safe. But an event like this connects us to the family of mankind, and I felt compelled to express  that in my work.  Each day  I collected the  devastating newspaper images  incorporating them into my work along with bits of  catalogs, papers and mementoes  from  various trips to Japan.  These paintings are titled "Tears of the Buddha, Gardens of Sendai."

The sensitivity of these latest works is palatable.. from the floating, dream-like forms to nebulous tones to the fragility of the surface..one feels a sadness though also a strength beneath it all. These pieces are exquisite. retta

Betsy, I like the freeform shapes and the subdued tonal qualities of color.
