“Contours” by Peter Betts

An impressive display of colorful topography designs is now showcased along Mission Viejo's Parkway Gallery through June.  With pieces from his “Contours” exhibit on display for motorists to see, artist Peter Betts offers a unique view of the land he now lives in.

This collection of paintings and limited edition prints offers a topographical perception of a widening circle of U.S. locations starting from his home in Orange County. The specific contour elevations and color combinations create subtle and exciting impressions of each site.

A British artist, Betts has also painted and sold over 400 watercolors echoing the Chinese style of brushwork and subjects such as horses, cats and dogs. Betts has also had eight books of cartoons published.

The “Contours” photos, which were selected by the City’s Cultural Arts Committee, are part of a special art exhibit within ART pilasters in the median islands along Crown Valley Parkway, Orange County’s first art gallery enjoyable by car.  For more information about the Parkway Gallery, call the Arts Information Line at 949-470-8440.
