Retired United States Navy Commander Ralph Williams has been a longtime donor to the Arts Auction; he's been painting sixty years!

Entitled Floral Still Life With Peaches, this oil pastel is is 400th painting since his retirement in 1978. Painted on museum-quality, aluminum-oxide-impregnated paper, and mounted on acide-free board, it took Ralph a month to complete the piece.

Ralph Williams is a life member of the Wickford Art Association and a member of Helme House - the South County Art Association.
