Bill creates many of his paintings from his personal experiences. Influenced by his father at an early age, Bill spent much of his life hunting. He still believes responsible hunting is part of "nature's balance," an equilibrium determined by the Creator who placed us and all the creatures and plants on this planet. Bill believes that, as the intelligent species, we need to cherish as well as use the resources given to humanity. He attempts to convey through his art an awareness of his experiences in the world of nature. His portrayals of wildlife in their natural surroundings engaging in their activities without human interventions, are the product of his many ventures throughout the Western United States.
"I feel privileged to be the instrument of our Creator," Bill says, "to be able to execute works that bring insight and enjoyment to others." That insight -- as well as inspiration -- is evident in his use of lighting, contrast, details, and subject matter. Bill works primarily with oils, and his subjects represent the wildlife of North America, the Native American and the range life of the American cowboy. Bill has studied with many instructors, including members of the Cowboy Artists of America, and he has shown his works and received awards in invitational shows. What really matters to him, however, is the joy he receives in pleasing his clients, and the opportunity he has to give to humanity the delight his artistic career awards to him.
Bill's paintings are all originals, nicely framed, and reasonably priced. They would make a nice addition to your home or office. Contact Bill at his studio by calling 830-336-2472. Mail or e-mail for further information and shipping.
