Betty Carr
Watercolor and Oil Painter
Betty Carr Selected as Juror for the 2012 AANC National Exhibit -- will demonstrate and hold workshop
"What catches my eye is the effect light has on form in unique situations whether fleeting, spilling over, striking, subtlety changing, etc. I challenge myself when painting to capture the essence of the spirit of the light. The spontaneous qualities of watercolor and the quick moving action of the oil brush lends itself perfectly to my impressionistic style of painting when capturing light. I strive for confident, enthusiastic brushwork, the maximizing of color’s value and intensity range and a fresh painterly approach, the result appearing effortless."
We are proud to announce that the Juror for our 21st AANC National Exhibition and Sale will be Betty Carr of Phoenix, Arizona. Betty is a well known accomplished watercolor and oil painter and artist who paints often en plain air. http://www.bettycarrfineart.com

The landscape, still life and architectural elements will be incorporated. The brush stroke will be emphasized in the understanding the idea of creating the illusion of form in a painting.
