Sunrise from a High Window.

From high windows, the experience of early morning can be marvellous, just filled with emotion. With no hills or buildings to act as markers, everything sometimes seems to just fall into almost tangible layers of colour.

This scene is typical of Betsy’s strong use of watercolours, emphasising their fluidity and transparency. It reflects her love of vibrant colour, and also a love of texture, which she developed and employed skilfully in fabric design, long before becoming a watercolourist.

“The sheer power and variety of Shropshire’s landscapes and countryside never cease to enthral and amaze me. I simply cannot express the profound experience that a sight like these great hills can give to me.”

This landscape is a delightful example of Betsy using her watercolours in her distinctive and irrepressible style, allowing the might of the hills and their colours to truly make their mark.

The rays of light are thrown through the clouds towards the sea. The tones, textures and colours that they create are overwhelming in their power and their beauty.
Betsy has again used her watercolours “from the shoulder, rather than from the wrist”, putting her energy and enthusiasm into capturing the mood of the moment.
It’s no particular or specific place, but it is a place with sea and with hills, and with ambience. She hopes always that her pictures will stimulate people into remembering the feel of some place that they’ve known, rather than simply showing them one that she has.

“This scene is not one that I painted to represent anywhere in particular. I simply wanted to capture the dreamlike qualities that surround us when the light is right, when colours seem to blend into a delicate weave.”

Betsy has used watercolours with great energy again, emphasising their capacity to create textural and colour mixes that no camera can achieve.

“I feel sure that the effects that seasonal colours have upon us all is immense, and yet so often subliminal, so that their influence goes unnoticed by many. To me, the shades and ranges of our seasons’colour are intense and all absorbing.“

Betsy using watercolours with accustomed strength, creating great depth and texture in this landscape from her imagination.
