to include impressionist florals, detailed portraits, and vibrant still lifes.
"The beauty and drama of nature emanates from the canvas with
subtle expressiveness."
Linda Kreutz, special article to The Austin-American Statesman.
She continues...
"Texas scenery comes alive in the paintings of Austin artist Bette Lou Voorhis.
Her oil paintings capture the diverse faces and moods of the Texas landscape... A leisurely
stroll, a rapid tour, a moment of rest to study a painting more closely or even a quick glance leaves the viewer
with a feel for the land and the flavor of our state.
I found Mrs. Voorhis' large landscapes appealing... She is a gifted and practiced artist in her treatment of
sky, water, foliage and landforms... Yet she never allows a scene to become merely a show of
technical virtuosity or repetitious in content.
Instead each picture projects a feeling of place and time... Be it a lonely country road
overgrown with greenery and lighted by filtering sun, a water inlet reflecting clear, fresh sky or a hill country
vista disturbed by an approaching storm, each has its own identity in the total character of Texas' personality.
Often a man-made element, weathered homes or barns, leaning fences, horses tied to a gate or dusty roads, key a
scene or become the focal point of a painting... Or perhaps a tree set against the action of nature's sky
is the subject of closer study."
Bette Lou finds painting to be a personal joy and is delighted and grateful for the wide acceptance she has received
for her art.
