Bill. Let us know how you are doing. It has been a long time.
In 2004, we honeymooned in Maui. My wife and I started spotting Bill’s works in a few places around the island. We soon found ourselves searching for everywhere for his art as we were quite taken by in. His art was signed a few different ways (Tully, Stewart) so it became like a quest. One day, we happened to walk into a small shop in Lahaina. That’s where we found “The Lone Kiawe” original (pictured above) … and the artist himself. Bill was so nice to meet. We purchased the watercolour as we felt that it was meant to be. Bill also gifted a print of “Blue Boy” after telling us the story behind it. He kindly shipped the art to Canada for us which both still hang proudly in our home today. These are reminders of the beginning of our marriage and our time on the island. Thanks Bill!!!
