the art and writings of william g hosford

 

 

 

Artist/Illustrator
    Ever since I was very young, I have enjoyed doing art. I particularly enjoyed pencil sketching and pen and ink rendering. One of my earliest extant works is a pen and ink of the chapel at Star Island off the coast of New Hampshire. It was completed while I was in high school. However, photography has been a lifelong avocation.
    It wasn’t until later in life that I returned to drawing and grew interested in painting and illustration. Membership in the Lansing Art Guild (Michigan) and Franklin Art Association (Massachusetts), allowed me to learn, grow and develop as an artist. My preferred medium is watercolor, but I also like to work with pen and ink, scratchboard, and linoleum block printing. After writing my non-fiction book about geodes, I decided to illustrate it photographically using Adobe Photoshop CS. The combination worked very well and a publisher is now considering it for publication.
