Early Painting of the Artists Daughter.

It was a very rare thing for Bill Kratzer to choose people as a subject to paint. This one is one of my favourites, and one of the first paintings he did of my mother.

If you own any of Bill Kratzer's paintings, I would be very interested in hearing from you. Feel free to contact me through email williamkratzerpaintings@gmail.com

From Farm houses to Seascapes

Bill Kratzer explored many different subjects, from farm houses to seascapes. Farm houses continued to inspire him throughout his career. The first image is an early example of that. 

Before focusing more of his attention on Algonquin wildlife and landscapes, Bill Kratzer also painted many seascapes. Growing up near the harbour in Hamburg Germany it's not a surprise that he wanted to explore this subject. There are still many out there for me to find and share.

This is just a small taste of different subjects. I'll be posting more soon. Hope you enjoy!
