Enjoying the process

Feedback from Bill Hengen

I’m basically a self taught artist. I have been drawing and painting off and on since grade school. I’ve entered some shows here and there, placed but never won. Which is ok….

After high school, I joined the Army Reserves as an illustrator, the 6 years I served, never really did much illustration, but did get some schooling out of it so it’s was still a win-win. Ended up working with computers, never really had time for any artistic pursuit. Did some drawings here and there, but nothing really formal.

About roughly 10 years ago is a picture of a dancer in a local picture thought it would make a good painting, grabbed an old wood board bought some paints…was hooked and started drawing and painting more often. At some point, I will be able to pursue art full time..until then I’m content.
