Energetic, brightly colored watercolor still lifes are the signature work of this artist who is known for her skillful use of light, color and shadow in her floral paintings. On the influence of light on her watercolors, she writes - 'What catches my eye is the effect light has on form in unique situations whether fleeting, spilling over, striking, etc. I challenge myself in capturing its dramatic and/or subtle effects. The spontaneous qualities of watercolor lends itself perfectly to my impressionistic style of painting. I strive for confident enthusiastic brushwork, the maximizing of color's value and intensity range and a fresh painterly approach, the result appearing effortless.' Betty Carr is emerging as one of the foremost watercolorists and painters of the southwest. Her use of color, light and shade accentuate her subject matter while showing her love of nature and its forms. |

Following years of instructing art in Colorado and California and developing her distinctive painting style, Betty and artist husband Howard Carr decided to follow the sun to the southwest where color and light are ever present. "What catches my eye is the effect light has on form in unique situations whether fleeting, spilling over, striking, etc. I challenge myself in capturing its dramatic and/or subtle effects. I strive for confident enthusiastic brushwork, the maximizing of color’s value and intensity range and a fresh painterly approach, the result appearing effortless" -Betty Carr |
