Quest
Once again, it's been a while. I think this is the only place where I actually try to explain my art, and that's what keeps me coming back here, even if it is only two or three times a year. This is my secret little place.

This piece is called Quest. It's almost a year old now. I find that looking back through old paintings is a lot like reading old journals. I can see a painting from years ago and suddenly remember how life felt at that time. All without words.

Quest, 5x5 watercolor on paper

When I was younger, I wrote a story about a boy who finds a secret world (very original I know) The entrance to this world is a white door standing in the middle of a field. The boy enters the secret world, but when he leaves, a breeze keeps the door from shutting all the way and the boy doesn't notice.  A curious crow that had been watching from a nearby tree finds it's way inside, but this is no place for crows.

HI Will, it is nice to see you again and of course your awesome painting, I really enjoy your style and find it unique.

I noticed that you still posting using just tags like in old time, meanwhile everything is changed and people posting via communities.

Hi @william-syrus, @art-venture's post allowed me to see your paintings. Your creative and original style caught my attention. I totally agree with what you said about the old paintings. In them, the feelings and thoughts of that time are frozen in their current state. I feel this a lot too. I hope we can see your paintings more often :)
