| Louis Betts was born in Little Rock, Arkansas. His art
instruction came
primarily from his father who was also a painter. At sixteen, he
did
his first portrait of his violin master in exchange for lessons, and
Betts
focused primarily on landscape painting until he was twenty-four.
He
then studied portrait painting at the Pennsylvania Academy for a year,
and the first Cresson Scholarship permitted him to study for two years
abroad. Betts then remained in France, (showing 500 of 6620 characters). |
