Domestic animals |

|
|
| I think doing these animals where I really try to capture the essence and feeling is akin to doing human portrait work. I gotten a lot of good feedback on them. |

Wildlife |
|

|
|
|
| Bill began studying wildlife at age eight when his father introduced him to hunting. Since he has made many trips throughout the American West hunting all forms, particularly the pack-in hunts for elk. He draws on these experiences for his paintings. |

Portrait |
|
|
|
|
|
| Bill also enjoys the challenge of portrait painting. Probably the hardest type of painting to touch the heart of the viewer, yet it is the most satisfying to the artist when the final product exceeds their expectations. |
