BillOnce a month I attend a class taught by artist, Bill McEnroe. Bill is 89 years young and an artist I truly admire. Although Bill has so many years of experience under his belt, he and his work have the freshness and creativity of a young soul. What a joy to sit under his mentorship! Every class he demos a painting for his students and in just a short few minutes both amazes and challenges us. Bill has a wonderful sense of humor and is beloved by his students. We feel very fortunate he is still able to share his expertise with us. His assignments always push us to attempt new techniques or improve our skills.
Recently during one of Bill's demo paintings I photographed him as he worked. From these photos came the resulting painting above. I believe it captures both Bill's likeness and the affection we, as his students, feel toward our artist mentor. We are so priviledged to call him mentor and "friend".
