Haggard Branch
I've worked on this one for a while now. Finally got over being shy and threw the paint to it the last two days in between laundry, work, and kids.

This is excellent!
A lovely composition, Bill. I love the effect of layers of nature, so that the viewer scans the background to find some more images.
Great piece Bill! I just discovered your work from the FASO art competition. Really enjoy viewing your paintings. Keep up the fine work!
Thanks Leslie.
Thanks Marie. I struggled with the background on this one. Scraped it a few times.
Hi Dennis, thanks for visiting and commenting. I checked out your website, very good stuff going on there!
Another beautiful painting, Bill. For some reason this is exactly what I think of when I envision Kentucky. I once had friends who lived in Olive Hill and this piece is so reminiscent of that lovely place.
this one is a stand-out, wow. Great range of values, those dark, darks give it a real punch. Strong composition too. Love this one. Keep 'throwing'. It works!
I am not an artist. I am not an art critic. I am just someone who enjoys your blog and your paintings. And this one, "Haggard Branch," is my favorite. Hands down, it is my favorite.
The brushwork and color harmony is terrific.
