Our lives are so busy that we need to take time to smell the flowers. This is a scene that is on our mantle and it made a nice little painting. 5 X 7 inches on Dura-lar film using Prismacolor Verithin pencils. Take time to look around you!

Your work is so peaceful Will...and yes, I feel the serenity!

Artist Reply: Sharon: thank you once again for a lovely comment. We must think alike regarding art. Your photographs are just amazing. Best regards, Will

What a wonderful composition!

Artist Reply: Anneke: thank you so much. Your comment is very much appreciated. The composition is very good, but I did not set it up this way. The credit goes to my wife. Sue placed the items for a summer mantle decoration, and it must have been over a month before I realized what a potentially good painting this would make. I'm glad you appreciate Sue's arrangement. Best regards, Will

Simply superb! I love it so much.

Artist Reply: Carliss: thanks so much for your comments. I appreciate them very much. My wife, Sue, is responsible for placing the items in this summer mantle decoration. I simply turned it into a piece that others could also enjoy. It took me way too long to realize how good the arrangement was. I'm glad that it spoke to you in a shorter period of time. Best regards, Will

Great composition!

Artist Reply: Heloisa: thank you so much. I can thank my wife for the composition. She set this up on our mantle just this way. It took me way to long to notice what a great still life painting it would make. Thank you for appreciating both the painting and my wife. Hope your weekend has been good. Best regards, Will

Great composition. Good colors and details, interesting background blending.

Artist Reply: Jane: thanks so much for your very nice comment. I just realized one day that a beautiful still life was sitting right on my own mantle! I'm glad that you too enjoyed it. Best regards, Will

Masterly - a perfect interplay of textures and forms and never bogged down in detail. Love your use of line here, too.

Artist Reply: Tony: thank you so much. I'm glad that you enjoyed this piece. One doesn't need to go very far to find a scene that can provoke a painting. Best regards, Will

Gorgeous colours great still life :)

Artist Reply: Jodie: thank you for your kind comments and for taking time to view my work. I was walking past our mantle one day and suddenly noticed what a nice arrangement my wife had made. I hadn't stopped to notice before this and this is what inspired the painting and its title. Best regards, Will

Very beautiful still life! Very elegant concept. Congratulations.

Artist Reply: Angel: thank you so much for your kind comments. I have looked at your beautiful work and I am very impressed. I know nothing about using the computer and digital art, so this is why I stick to a simple set of pencils! Thank you again for taking time to visit my work. Best regards, Will

YOU HAVE A LOVELY MANTEL AND TERRIFIC COLORED PENCIL PIECE OF ART... TERRIFIC WILL.. JOANIE

Artist Reply: Joanie: thank you once again for your very generous comments. Sometimes a possible painting just jumps up and says, "Paint me, please!" We do have a nice looking mantle, thanks to my talented wife of 48 years! Best regards, Will
