Sunrise from a High Window. Milk white - hammered surface Price (no P&P charges) - £1.75 Original - watercolour Betsy Smith Top of page	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. ... A1	A1
Cloud Break Milk white - hammered surface Price (no P&P charges) - £1.75 Original - watercolour Betsy Smith Top of page	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. ... A1	A1

Dreaming Summer Light Milk white - hammered surface Price (no P&P charges) - £1.75 Original - watercolour Betsy Smith Top of page	“This scene is not one that I painted to represent anywhere in particular.
