This is a colored pencil painting that I did based on an old slide picture taken by my father-in-law many, many years ago. The scene is a medow that could be seen outside the window of their home, the home where my wife grew up. My father-in-law is now gone, but the scene is still memorable. The dimensions of the piece are 8 inches X 10 inches. It was done with Prismacolor Verithin pencils on matte surfaced Dura-lar polyester film. The piece is backed with black Cranson board to allow the snow cover to show up more brightly. The winter can be long and I hope that this piece can add some sense of enjoyment to this season.

This is lovely, Will! I particularly like the color combinations that really say "cold Winter".

Artist Reply: Barbara: thank you so much for your very nice comments. This is the first piece that I backed with black paper rather than with the white that I normally use. It seemed the best way to have the snow show up clearly. I'm glad that this piece seems to speak to you. Your time and comments are very much appreciated. Best regards, Will

Boy! You really captured this winter scene with the snow, very nicely. the details as usual make it look so real and the rhythm of the trees and sunset really express a great deal in this piece, my friend!

Artist Reply: Mark: thanks so much for such kind comments! I enjoyed doing this and it's the first piece done on Dura-lar film that I backed with black paper. This allowed the snow to pop out. Thanks again and best regards, Will.

I love this and you are so right. This scenery does tell a story and I can see why you treasured it. Nice the way the the snow settles on the tree. Great work :)

Very beautifully done. I really enjoy your landscapes. This drawing reminds me of a Japanese block print.

Will Kirkland
Artist Reply: Barry: Thanks once again for such nice comments. I do enjoy doing landscapes, but I also enjoy doing still life pieces. I don't work on paper. I use a matte surfaced polyester film sold under the trade name of Dura-lar. The matte surface is on both sides and allows color to be added to both sides. The surface is quite smooth and makes it nice for the photo realistic look that I try to acheive. More info than you probably wanted! Best regards, Will
