This is a William appreciation post. Good Ol’ William as we call him. A wee Scottish lad with a big heart. A friend and rock solid painter with whom I was honored to spend some time this weekend painting in the Olympic Peninsula. He’s also a ravenous billiards player, religious tea drinker, and an ardent proponent of the middle part. Thankfully, however, he still hasn’t bested me in ping pong. William is only 3 paintings into his plein air career but showing much promise. As an insider, take it from me- he is one to invest in early.
