Two months ago, we showcased 81 of William Van Horn’s private paintings in our new section “The other side.”

Bill was very pleased and impressed with the presentation of the images and the accompanying article. He got busy at once and sent us color copies of 50 more private paintings. His selection includes some large-sized pieces now. Bill scanned these in two pieces and meticulously glued the copies together.

We have integrated the new paintings into our gallery now, hoping you’ll like them as much as we do.
