Betty Newman Art

Bold Exotic Contemporary

Illuminate! Enliven the canvas with color and texture! I create unique organic compositions using various mediums with curious tools. Some work takes months or years to evolve. Layer upon layer of texture or color is added until I have reached that place in my soul that says "Yes it is done". I am enticed into how the different mediums and colors react to each other. Sometimes they crash and buckle, other times they blend and settle close to each other like old friends. Oil moves seductively about the canvas. Acrylics demanding to dry now! Watercolors, stubborn at times, yet yield if you quench their thirst. Every work has its own personality like my treasured friends and family
