Biography:	WILLIAM HAWKINS FINE ART PAINTER 1962- I live in Tucson, Arizona with my wife, three kids, assorted pets and lots of wildlife. (many visitors included) I grew up in the Midwest on the banks of the Mississippi river wanting to paint ducks and geese and herons and catch a lot of fish... My childhood dream was to win a federal duck stamp competition. After a couple of years of sporadic, post-high school studies I moved south to try my hand at third-world development work (I was tired of counting duck feathers). I thought I was going to miss winter but my first Christmas under a palm tree cured me of that! For many years we lived and traveled in Latin America building furniture and trying to spread goodwill and cheer throughout the countryside. I'm not sure how successful we were at the latter but the former proved to be a good springboard for much of my creative endeavors. I've always wanted to make things, build, invent, draw and paint. By the kindness of God, I think, we have been able to pursue the quest of mak! ing beautiful things that reflect a little bit of His goodness and at the very least... brighten up a few rooms. I paint almost exclusively in an "alla prima" style. That is painting in one sitting, fresh paint painted until complete. Some of my larger studio pieces I build over time letting the paint dry and glazing over certain passages for desired effect. The spontaneity of painting with fresh paint though, allows me to do a lot of mixing right on the canvas and to get the feel I'm after. I try to paint from life as much as possible. It's a good practice for any artist and there is nothing like painting outdoors to sharpen your eye for color and light and your hand for skill.
