This is such a beautiful painting William, I wish I could paint animals and wildlife like this. You captured a moment in the every day life of an animal, and it speaks to me and says, “Peace and tranquility…” Very well done…
William Vande... replied
Thanks so much Amanda! You feel exactly what I wanted to feel when I painted this, peace and tranquility.

William, like your other owl painting-this one just stopped me in my tracks too.You have such an ability to set this mood of a resting time/place-in your work. This stillness is so alive! I can almost feel the softness of the feathers. It is hard to articulate all that this makes me feel. I will end with saying that is moved me deeply! Ok, one more thing-is that an eye with tears in the woodwork?
William Vande... replied 18 days ago
Thanks so much Margot! This is such a great thing to say. I’m having a hard to articulating my appreciation for this comment. :)
You’re right. That is an eye with tears. You’re the first to notice. Thanks again

Yeah, everything that Margot said up there…I am in total agreement. Something about the way the owl is standing, almost as if his burdens are overwhelming and he is daydreaming of a better world. Powerful work my friend!
