Artist Reply: Lizbeth: thank you so much. You are very kind. I appreciate your comments and your taking the time to view my work. I enjoy doing detailed pieces. I think that comes from being a university professor of gross human anatomy for 31 years prior to my retirement. Detail has become a habit! I look forward to seeing more of your work. Again thanks and best regards. Will

Artist Reply: John: I'm glad that this piece spoke to you. You must also be a coffee drinker as I am. This piece is actually a combination of two images that popped into my mind one morning as I was having my first cup. It was fun to do and I am pleased with how it turned out. Thanks again. Best regards, Will

Artist Reply: Jane: thank you very much for this comment. I was trying to be creative in this one, not just to be photorealistic! I saw all the coffee growing regions of the world displayed on the different coffee beans and thought, "why not superimpose a map of the world over it". I tried to use dark brown for those regions that were represented, but the color doesn't show up very well. I'm glad that you appreciate this piece. Perhaps you too are a coffee lover. Best regards, Will
