Backdoor 24x24
This painting makes me happy. I enjoyed every minute of it and can’t stop looking at it. I’ll never sell it, it’s going in the old folks home when my mind is gone. When I stare at it I won’t know what or where it is, but I’ll feel good. I’d be a happy man if I could do this consistently. It happens once or twice a year. The rest of the time? Heavy lifting and pain.

I love it too. I wish I had the eye that you do. You can take anything and make it interesting, always borderline abstract but representaional. I look forward every day to see if you have a new post.

yep, awesome.
looks nice! I love it too.....
As I understand, for you too it's impossible to force painting like this. It just comes.
It happened to me when I was painting beach and see.
Nailed it.
Wonderful
work
thank you for sharing
Love it too! Beautiful.
Yep. I'd keep it, too. Getting results like this makes all the heavy lifting worth it, though I also like most of your other work a lot, too.
Right on! You knows it when you sees it.
I couldn't decide which part was the most fun....maybe the amazing colors..the green dots for the door knob, the one red stroke on the wall, the dark window sill that just seemed to happen..then I gave up. Love it..
wray: i agree. you hit a home run. they say if you throw enough shit at a wall, something will stick. something stuck.
That's really cool that you feel that. And it is a great painting, I love how natural you make light look in your paintings.
Really feel the heat and light in this one. Definitely a keeper. - Al
I agree with you. It's a keeper! I'm glad to see your other paintings. The color and textures are so alluring.
the colors are always so intriguing in your works:) just got a copy of the "sparrow" book with your lovely work, i hope you publish something in a bigger format soon:)
Great colors and brushwork! It is very happy!
So beautiful. A Stuart Shils feel to it. I wouldn't let go of it either!
Makes me happy too. In the zone.
the colors are fabulous!
I'm signing up for that old folks home. You've taken an otherwise overlooked space and made it memorable in this painting.
... it made me happy too !
I get exactly what you mean...I'm just venturing back into painting seriously and only a few (drawings mainly at this time) really make it for me. Beautful inspiring work William. thank you:)

excellent edge work and light study. Did you work from a photo reference or life? I am guessing life
