This is a colored pencil painting done on Dura-lar polyster matte film using Prismacolor Verithin pencils. Color has been added to both sides of the film to enrich the color, since mutiple layers of color cannot be applied to the primary surface of the painting. This is based on a photograph taken by my wife at Usher's Ferry which is located near Cedar Rapids, IA. The dimensions of the painting are 8 inches by 10 inches.

beautiful work

Artist Reply: Jim: thanks so much. I love doing fall leaves and this was just calling to me to do a painting of it. Fall is such a beautiful time of year. Glad that it also registered with you. Best regards, Will

I love this one! So incredibly detailed! Great colour palette too.

Artist Reply: Gemma: thanks so very much. I love fall leaves and these seemed to be set off by the old band stand. I do enjoy doing detail. Probably comes from teaching university level gross anatomy for 31 years! Detail has become a habit even in retirement!Thanks again. Best regards, Will

Will - this is an incredible amount of work. Spectacular! I love the shadows and contrast in this one!!

Artist Reply: Jerry: thanks so much. My wife and I always enjoy visiting this "out door" history museum, especially in the fall. The leaves are so beautiful. This particular scene was just too nice to pass up without making it a more permenent memory. Thanks again for taking time to view my work and to comment. Best regards, Will

Artist Reply: John: so very kind of you! Thanks. As you probably know by now, I do enjoy doing detail and going for that photo realistic look. I also enjoy doing fall foliage, so this piece was lots of fun to do. Thanks again for looking and taking time to comment. Have a very good Wednesday. Best regards, Will

love the detail in this. I am an anal painter so this is right on

Artist Reply: Darlene: thanks so much. I too am really into detail. The light spoke to me in this scene and I was lucky to capture it as accurately as I did. Thanks again. Best regards, Will
