Murals

These murals were commissioned for the home of a family  in Pinckney, Michigan, a few hours drive from the artist's Royal Oak, Michigan, home. 


Bill sent me these images in 2006. 


This was probably the last really large commission he received and completed. 


I  imagine that in particularly dismal winters these murals must be an endless source of joy.


I hope that they are well maintained. 

The Face of Buddha

A theater of the mind's eye - but what a beautiful mind.

A tropical paradise created by a man who hated traveling and never went abroad - except, perhaps, to Canada.

It seems that Bill turned a home into a House of Prayer. A monument to inner peace.

Who wouldn't want to live in  - or visit - such a lovely shrine. 


I  never fully understood why Bill prized this family so much until this moment. 


Though I do not know them, really, I love them, myself. As Bill obviously did.
