Since 1976 Bill has lived on a mountaintop bordering the Upper Buffalo Wilderness Area in Northwest Arkansas. His affinity for the wild places surrounding his home is reflected in his "intimate" landscapes of small pools or studies of lichen and rock, and in his watercolors of the Buffalo River Country, which the National Park Service reproduced as murals for the Buffalo National River Visitor Center at Tyler Bend.
His works appear throughout My Blue Heaven, as well as in our own home.
