I tried an eye level setup

How does it work?

Hi Bill - I love the soft blues you used. I actually like the eye-level. Very nicely done. Was wondering.. how long does it take you to do a painting like this?

Works nicely!
Love the colors and the 'softness' of this piece, Bill.
And, as usual with your work very nicely done!

Thanks to all who commented.
The advice and encouragement we give each other is so important
Maggie, this took about 30 hrs. The size and number of objects affects the time. I usually do a sketch first, but this time took a shortcut and didn't. After a while, I wished that I had done a sketch, because I had to back and make changes that I could have avoided by working things out in a sketch first.

Beautifully done! You definately have your own unique style. Love the looseness of this.

Realy nice as usualy Bill. Love those colors hues. Almost slightly below eye level? Aslo to add one
more item like perhaps a tipped over milk pitcher on the left...or perhaps not since you have a nice off center already? The line between composed and cleche' (which is
deffinantly not your work) is very fine...really lovely...sign it and do some more!
