They Came for Him

This beaded painting by Betsy Youngquist is an example of the work Betsy was creating when she started her adult creative journey decades ago. Under the beads there is a complete painting in acrylic inks on watercolor board. Betsy uses the painting as a color guide for her bead application. Once the painting is completed, the beads, stones, and other mixed media materials are added using glue. The narrative content in these pieces becomes a personal snapshot of a moment in the artist's life using a a menagerie of characters and symbols. Here the central figure says farewell to a beloved friend as lost friends comes to escort the recently deceased dog to heaven. This painting speaks of the tiny miracles of hope and joy that swirl around the painful day of passage. Loss is the theme of this current series of paintings.
