Another Love Picture
This is another picture from the opening of her Love Picture exhibition (1968). She's cosied up to her ex-husband Fred. Betty maintained the relationships with all of her exes....another example of her generosity.
Her Love Picture Exhibition
This picture was taken during her Love Picture Exhibition (1968). I love her outfit.
Studying Art in Paris
Betty lived in Paris for a year when she was an art student. She spent most of her time in the cafes smoking cigarettes and drinking wine....forever the hedonist.
More Glam
This photo was taken in 1955. She had such beautiful skin and cheekbones.
Fashion Shoot
This is part of a series of photos Betty posed for upon arriving in New York. It was her glam, fashion phase. Sometimes I forget how beautiful she was...
Working as Commercial Artist
Betty was still in high school when she started working as a commercial artist for the local paper. Her salary partially supported her family. When Betty left for New York, her father cried but Bessie cheered her on.
Betty at 18
This photo was taken in 1947 when Betty was 18 years old living in her hometown of Wichita, Kansas.

Betty could have be a satirical cartoon artist. This drawing is perfection. 2018.

I found this drawing in a mostly un-used sketch book as I went through all of Betty's things. It made me feel good knowing that she enjoyed the last few years of her life. 2018 was a great year for the Dodson.
