We just saw one of your 2020 paintings called Oracle. We own perhaps your first Oracle, a piece we purchased in Santa Fe, that has a rusty reddish orange horizon and a lot of squiggles. We have been enjoying it for many years. It’s neat to see how your pieces have evolved over the years.

Just discovered your paintings via Robyn Gordon and am so moved by them.Lovely to see the subtle moves over the years and the video left til the end is so helpful.I work in Scratchboard and pastel being a bit afraid of paint but longing for it. I shall try to let go more, thank you Bill.

I am enthralled with your work. The subtle color, the transparency, the composition, everything. In your video you said you teach. Where do you teach and how can I become a student?

An artist friend pointed out to me that we both like checkerboards. I do mine in encaustic. Yours are very appealing to me.

Just came across your paintings on facebook via Robyn Gordon - so glad I looked in today. Enjoyed watching you paint and hearing your thoughts on the act of painting - but of course - most of all - looking at your work. I love their apparent history - the layers, the putting on and wiping off - the building up - how you let the work speak to you. Something I will aspire to.

Just discovered your work on pinterest and I was blown away. I like the surface tension that seems to have an answer but floats away leading to another place on the painting.

Bill, I found your paintings on Pinterest and had to see your website! Your art is very inspiring and I enjoyed going through the whole collection while my heartbeat got faster and faster because of the energy, the colors, the balance, just everything that your paintings transmit to the viewer and awake in my own artist self! Thank you - what a treat!

I am very impressed with the balance and the matching rawness of colors, with the balance of warmth and coldness. It's like a child reviews an adult's writing, spell-checking it with candor and unaltered smiles. Oh, and "a little bit of Paul Klee" and some of Dordogne's Lascaux, in France. To me, your work is all composed of timeless effigies of temporality.
I wish I painted like that...

Bill, We bought two of your paintings in Denver at an Art Against Aids benefit auction and am still in love with your work today. The piece that I have is Crux. It is bold and dark and full of meaning... for you as an artist and for me, having owned it now for close to 20 years. I wish you much hope. Sincerely, Keith

Hi bill you taught fifth grade in '00-'01 at a school
called northside elementary. that year you designed the school shirt. i liked to draw in class and when you caught me you would take my drawings and say that when you where my age your teacher took yours and it's only fair you take mine. anyway you did something quite generous that year and helped my brother and i get to our graduation.i just want to say thank you again because i never forgot. Congrats on the success!

I am an artist from Sarasota, FL. While visiting Chicago, I grabbed a postcard of your work from River East Art Center. We visited the city several months after your show (noted on the card.) I absolutely love your paintings. I love the depth and the layers and the colors. I love the gestural and spontaneous quality..I could go on. I was wondering if you have published a monograph (or will you be?)
I was up in my studio, trying to get inspired, staring at your postcard and saying to myself "I wanna paint like this." That is what brought me to your website to see more - I love it. Thanks.
p.s. I attempted to email you but the email was returned as an error.

Bill, the way you create the illusion of space in your paintings fascinates me. I like the hard edge-soft edge contrasts and your range of colors.The non-objective works are very interesting because they stimulate the imagination since there is no symbolic base that the brain can reference. Your paintings are excellent.

Ciao Bill. There are so many things referring to my life in your works. I find the clay shell/flower. I remember the colors of my basement and our small apartment in Francavilla. Our breakfast under the sun on our terrace and Hadrian's Villa in Tivoli. I've looked at your works again today and it was very exciting and emotional. Thank you for sharing that with us. Giorgio
