Now, I've done a long-format podcast with Bill, but you know, he
brought this painting in that we just got for the gallery and
it's such a fantastic painting. It's one of those really
inspirational works that when you stare at it long enough it just
grabs you and pulls you in and boy did this painting grab
me. 

So I thought, you know, let's just go do a podcast and see what
happens. Talk about the painting, talk about what's going on in
Bill's life, stuff like that.  Surprise, surprise - It
turned into a wonderful conversation. We spoke about all
different types of artists, from Maynard Dixon to Jim Reynolds to
Matt Smith to Josh Elliott.

This is more technical in some respects because we really talk
about composition and how somebody goes about turning a study
into a fully formed painting, which is what Bill did with the
painting that brought him to the gallery in the first
place.

He's such an animated individual and loves what he does. I would
encourage you to watch this one on YouTube if you can because
just watching his body language, how he gets excited about what
he does, and why he does it, in turn, makes you
excited.
