      • BETTY JEAN BILLUPS MONTANA OIL ON BOARD

        BETTY JEAN BILLUPS MONTANA OIL ON BOARD

        Est: $100 - $150

        17 1/8" by 16 1/2" framed. Title is Sunset at the Basilica. Betty (Elizabeth Jean) Billups (Born 1948) is active/lives in Idaho, California. Betty Billups is known for Figure, portrait, animal, Native American, still life, landscapes, illustrations. "Capturing an inner feeling, a moment in time so quickly passing... A moment that is beyond words, almost beyond thought. In art, as music, there are rhythms, movements, flow and ebb…" In the summer of 1977, Elizabeth Jean Billups (AKA Betty or Betty Jean) had her first one artist museum show at the Montana Historical Society in Helena, Montana. This exhibit was the direct results of doing research for a U.S. Army commission that she received, to create a painting of Sacajawea. And this commission came about because the Army had seen a painting Billups had in the U.S. Air Force Art Collection (that was created when she was Vice President of the Society of Illustrators of Los Angeles). The painting was called "The Nightengale" (U.S.A.F. C-9 Medical Plane). The exhibit at the museum was titled "Inner Feelings" and was the sole reason Betty returned to a fine art career. The trip into Idaho and Montana at that time, also brought her back 10 years later, to live on a 200+ acre ranch, and eventually move into the mountains, to a Tudor style cabin on 10 acres in the wilderness. Billups, the winner of Grand Purchase Awards and blue ribbons in national and international shows, has been featured in many art magazines throughout her career. In the past 20 years she seldom participates in any "juried" shows. She feels being a professional in any career, a person should produce THE BEST they can, without some committee jurying "who is best"! If you make it into a major show, that should be reward enough!! Around 1987 the first Plein Air Painting group was created by Denise Burns of Catalina Island. Denise asked Betty to do ONE national ad, to promote Plein Air Painters of America (PAPA). Betty convinced Denise that an advertising campaign needed to be created. So Billups set up 22 full color ads from 1987 thru mid '96, in Southwest Art, Art West, Artists of the Rockies, and a few other magazines. In the days when there were no personal computers, so all the work for each advertisement was done as "paste up" (hours of work for each), all of which Billups did without any payment (she also paid the same as any other member for her ad space)! In the mid '90s she helped jury the prestigious California Art Club Annual Exhibition, with her friend, Neil Boyle and her beloved instructor, Joseph Henninger. The difficulty was watching, as some categories with only seven entries had six awards handed out, and then one category with 200 entries, having the same six awards...so many wonderful images, not being acknowledged!!
