Untitled - Pines

Betty Crawford (1910 - 2002), was an artist whose works are well known throughout Southwestern Ontario, gracing the walls of the Woodstock, London and Hamilton Art Galleries, as well as those of many private collections. Crawford, who signed her work "C. B. Crawford," began painting in watercolour at the age of 10, and she later experimented with acrylic paints and printmaking techniques, yet she always returned to watercolour because of its immediacy. She preferred to work out of doors, drawing her inspiration from what she saw around her and watercolour allowed her to capture the moment more fully.
