We just saw one of your 2020 paintings called Oracle. We own perhaps your first Oracle, a piece we purchased in Santa Fe, that has a rusty reddish orange horizon and a lot of squiggles. We have been enjoying it for many years. It’s neat to see how your pieces have evolved over the years.

Just discovered your paintings via Robyn Gordon and am so moved by them.Lovely to see the subtle moves over the years and the video left til the end is so helpful.I work in Scratchboard and pastel being a bit afraid of paint but longing for it. I shall try to let go more, thank you Bill.

I am enthralled with your work. The subtle color, the transparency, the composition, everything. In your video you said you teach. Where do you teach and how can I become a student?

An artist friend pointed out to me that we both like checkerboards. I do mine in encaustic. Yours are very appealing to me.

Hello, I love your work. are you teaching any upcoming painting workshops? Do you have a mailing list for events like that? Thanks!

Just came across your paintings on facebook via Robyn Gordon - so glad I looked in today. Enjoyed watching you paint and hearing your thoughts on the act of painting - but of course - most of all - looking at your work. I love their apparent history - the layers, the putting on and wiping off - the building up - how you let the work speak to you. Something I will aspire to.

I have just come across your work on the internet. I think that I could explore it for days. Thank you Bill Gingles.

Just discovered your work on pinterest and I was blown away. I like the surface tension that seems to have an answer but floats away leading to another place on the painting.

Bill, I found your paintings on Pinterest and had to see your website! Your art is very inspiring and I enjoyed going through the whole collection while my heartbeat got faster and faster because of the energy, the colors, the balance, just everything that your paintings transmit to the viewer and awake in my own artist self! Thank you - what a treat!

I like your works. Vera Special.

Hi Bill! I'm so happy to have discovered your work on Pinterest which led me to your website. I love your work, any exhibits coming to Dallas anytime soon?

Hello Bill. I just discovered your web site and wanted to say hi. My wife and I own one of your painting that we purchased back in the mid nineties from Jim Robischon. Love our painting and I love the work I see here. Thanks!

Fine work, Mr Gingles.

Bill I am so proud of you! I will buy your book!

Your work is truly inspiring. A very magical quality. I truly feel your passion. Thank you!

I get lost admiring your beautiful work - thanks for the inspiration!

Love this painting!

Awesome paintings Bill! I found your website on wiki :) I guess it is a good thing. Keep up the good work, dude.

I especially love your greys.

Inspirational.

very cool.

Love your work! I'm going to post your site on LinkedIn to the Abstract Painters Group to see what everyone else thinks.

found your work on Pinterest. Being a painter but traveling now for 30+ years, I understand everything you say in your video about painting, settling and promoting oneself. Thank you for sharing. Marysehttp://www.pinterest.com/mloartware/

Absolutely Beautiful. Incredible color, composition and energy.
Roz Spencer chose a perfect artist for her commission.

I excuse my English but I would to tell you that I find your work really excellent. Thank you for these creations which delight the spirits.

I am very impressed with the balance and the matching rawness of colors, with the balance of warmth and coldness. It's like a child reviews an adult's writing, spell-checking it with candor and unaltered smiles. Oh, and "a little bit of Paul Klee" and some of Dordogne's Lascaux, in France. To me, your work is all composed of timeless effigies of temporality.
I wish I painted like that...
Sabina

Bill, We bought two of your paintings in Denver at an Art Against Aids benefit auction and am still in love with your work today. The piece that I have is Crux. It is bold and dark and full of meaning... for you as an artist and for me, having owned it now for close to 20 years. I wish you much hope. Sincerely, Keith

Hi Bill, I am a new and aspiring artist and I saw your link! I love your work and your natural style of painting! I'd love to add your link to my website and welcome any feedback.
Thanks!
Nicole

Your work is beautiful. I discovered it via Pinterest. Thanks for doing what you do!

Instantly inspired!

Your works are quite stunning, very rich and deep. I love the movement that you've create in each painting.

Hi bill you taught fifth grade in '00-'01 at a school
called northside elementary. that year you designed the school shirt. i liked to draw in class and when you caught me you would take my drawings and say that when you where my age your teacher took yours and it's only fair you take mine. anyway you did something quite generous that year and helped my brother and i get to our graduation.i just want to say thank you again because i never forgot. Congrats on the success!

Someone posted an image of your impressive work on Facebook, which led me to see more on your site. I noticed you are now showing with Bruce Lurie, who carries my works on paper in his file inventory. Small world.Hopefully I will get to see your work at the gallery in the near future.

Your work is so rich with layers and depth. Such a visual treat. Stunning work!

Hi Bill,
I just joined the Gallery Orange team. Love your work, hope to meet you soon!
Emily

Hi. I just wanted to say I so enjoyed looking at your work and so glad to have found it. I paint myself and it was an inspiration....I "pinned" away. Keep on creating....great work.

Love your work. Happy to have found your website. Shared your work on pinterest. Especially like Empyrean from 2009. The title is perfect!

Bill, It was such a pleasure to find your website. Love your work and your video.I would like to add a link to your site to my blog site, http://apaintingday.blogspot.com

Hey, Bill,
I really love your work. I especially love 2008's "A Recent History of What Is Possible" and 2006's "The Magus." Are these pieces for sale? Are they in galleries currently or what? BTW, I miss seeing all you guys at Byrd. Cathy Sledge

Hi Bill, I just wanted to drop in and let you know that I have one of your great works done in 10-98 called Nocturne, its quite lovely. My friend Scott Cox passed it on to me. Its a pleasure to look at daily, thanks ~Tab

Awesome site you have here! Your work is incredible!

LOVE your work...first saw one of your drawings at Taylor's in Hot Springs. I was looking to buy a Sammy Peter's and a had a collector friend along who purchased your work. I'm also an artist and feel we have a very similar aesthetic. I hope to have one of your works in my own collection soon. Are you still showing w Caroline?

Bill, I enjoyed meeting you this week at Gallery Orange in the French Quarter. Your work is wonderful. The large piece is really spectacular.
All the best,
Rhenda

Hey Gingles! Your artwork is amazing and wait for it... NICE! Keep painting and being an awesome teacher!

I've been in love with your work for many years.So happy to see you on Pinterest!! Thanks for following me...I'm honored! Maybe I'll see you sometime in Atlanta if you have a show.

Just spotted your work via Ian McLeod on Pinterest - loving your work very much

I'M A POTTER & STUMBLED UPON YOUR WEBSITE.I LOVE YOUR PAINTINGS AND THE DEPTH AND QUALITY OF YOUR SURFACES. IF YOU EVER COME TO ENGLAND LET ME KNOW AND I WILL TRY AND BUY ONE OF YOUR CANVAS PAINTINGS. I'LL FOLLOW YOUR WORK. ALL THE BEST CARLOS.

Bill, I like your later work a lot, especially 2011 canvases. A real pleasure to see your latest development.

Awesome work very inspiring

I am a Denver abstract artist - your paintings are breathtaking. Do you ever do workshops in Denver?

...something of a kindred spirit I feel, from across the pond. You express things well in your video - so hard to do...

Best wishes

I am an abstract artist from India. I very much enjoyed your works. Your sense of colour and the dextreity with which you apply the strokes and spontaneously bring out the faded grids and hues is extremely appealing. Best wishes..

I loved the video of your home, paintings and Diana. Thanks for showing a little of the process while you are painting. What an awesome talent you have been blessed with.

I am an artist from Sarasota, FL. While visiting Chicago, I grabbed a postcard of your work from River East Art Center. We visited the city several months after your show (noted on the card.) I absolutely love your paintings. I love the depth and the layers and the colors. I love the gestural and spontaneous quality..I could go on. I was wondering if you have published a monograph (or will you be?)
I was up in my studio, trying to get inspired, staring at your postcard and saying to myself "I wanna paint like this." That is what brought me to your website to see more - I love it. Thanks.
p.s. I attempted to email you but the email was returned as an error.

Your paintings inspire me Bill!

walking around Portland happened to pass by my favorite gallery ...
what a delight to see your work in there. Thinking I ran across you on stumble a few years back, if you ever come to Portland or Bend please let me know I would love to buy you a cup and sing that art song in person. Your new work is so fine up close and personal , what a delight! alive,vibrant and resonating in the middle of it all.

Bill, I am proud to know that you have succeeded with something that you are passionate about. Your paintings are awesome. Take care

Any way, we're viewing your art work and really like it "mucho"
Iris wants to buy...
Hope we can get to visit soon!

Hey Bill it was great seeing you today at artbreak.First thing when I got home I went here to your web site man I am impressed this is great I will be visiting more often. Albert

Hi Bill,
To me, it seems that I know you since years. You are not unknown to me.
I am also Painter,and wish we can meet some day and talk for hours. Visit my site www. rohitzaverii.com

Wish to have your comments.

Mr. Gingles,

I just recently purchased your work entitled \\\"Cardinal\\\" at the Robert Hughes Gallery in San Antonio TX. I fell in love with this painting the minute I saw it and I knew I had to own it. Thanks for creating a piece that truly makes me happy. I hope I have the opportunity to buy another one of your works in the future.

Hi Bill, still looking in now and again. Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you and your family.

Bill, the way you create the illusion of space in your paintings fascinates me. I like the hard edge-soft edge contrasts and your range of colors.The non-objective works are very interesting because they stimulate the imagination since there is no symbolic base that the brain can reference. Your paintings are excellent.

Hey Billy:
some wonderful art.
a lot of these are just special.
uh, Christmas is coming up; wondering what to give family & friends? ha.
Paul s.

Hi Bill. We have never met, but today I listened to you talk about your work on U Tube and I feel like a know a bit about how you approach your work, and a bit about you. I was friends with Diana many years ago when we were freshman at Centenary and would like to reconnect with her. I will be in Shreveport in June of next year for a wedding and hope I can say hello in person. Please pass my greetings on to her. I also look forward to meeting you. Thanks.

Hey Mr. Gingles!!! This is Jessica one of your former art students... I saw a painting this weekend that reminded me of your paintings. I had to find a link somehow and say hello!!! Wish you the best of luck!!!... p.s. "Jessica says Good Morning"

Billy,
Thrills me to find your site.When I think of when we were close friends 30+ years ago, I realize you had a special gift of art. So glad to see it has remained your life. Proud of You!

I enjoyed viewing your artwork all in one location. A few years back I saw pieces hanging in a coffee shop. I love the site and glad you are still sharing your talent with others through teaching and exhibition.

Hey Cousin B.R.,
I still have an orginal that you drew of a sail boat when you lived with us. I love your art.

Mr. Gingles! Its Lauren from 4th hour! Thought about you and decided to check your site! Hope your summer is going well. Ill email you sometime or get your number from Sara (i finally got txt!) Talk to you soon! -Lauren

I am pleasantly surprised by your work! Keep your talent! My love of painting, entitled "Water Music "!!!!!!!! Celsey

Miss you!,
Morgan

Hi Mr. Gingles!!! Jennifer and I are observing your class right now and looking at your amazing paintings! I miss your class! Your the best Art teacher at Byrd!
-Kristen, and Jenn

Hey Mr. Gingles! I don't know if you remember me, I'm Kyler. You used to give me and my brother Kaden art lessons. I come to your sight every now and then to see your astounding paintings. I find myself remembering you work, and imagine watching you paint my favorites, like Fire Lake. I'm so happy to see that you're doing well. I will be looking for your paintings in that movie!
Take care, eat a Nutter Butter for me!
-Kyler

Hey Mr. Gingles, I love your new paintings...but I always like the colorful ones! I started a new small painting recently and work on it now and then when I can't take another minute of science. Hope all is well!

Great Site! - & wonderful paintings. Just ran across it checking up on other Gingles.

Hi Mr. Gingles! I don't know if you remember me, I was in your ART 4 class at byrd four years ago. I really like your new paintings! I've taken a few classes(drawing 1, 2,and 2D Design) at Glassell since I've been in Houston. You recommended that school and it is great..But they make you work hard! I graduate from college in may so hopefully I've be able to get back into it over the summer! take care, congrats on the Michael Douglas film, I'll look for the paintings when I see the movie!

The new site is awesome. I love the video! You have an incredible ability to make a lasting impression within three minutes! haha. I'll come visit class again soon! I have a few drawings to show you. See you soon!

Nice stuff!! I really like the new stuff!

I just located your video on YouTube - Loved watching you work and seeing your beautiful wife. Tell her hello.

I just found your work tonight on YouTube, searched and found your website. Your work is beautiful ... it's amazing! I made myself choose 3 as favorites (which wasn't easy) ... Arcana, Halcyon Days and Kama. Gorgeous!! I'm learing, teaching myself due to not having classes where I live. Your work is a great inspiration.

Hey, Billy! I am so overwhelmed by your paintings! They are so wonderful. Congrats on your success. I would have never thought it when we were younger in Charleston, SC. May God bless you always.

Heeey Mr. Gingles! I miss your class so much!
I started to work on my painting today, It was kinda hard to find the paint here, but I finally did, so I back on!
I miss you Mr. G!!, I've been fine, busy working!
I know I've been kinda lost, but I promised to keep in touch and I will keep my promise!
Love ya!
Lore.. :) You're favorite Venezuelan exchange student ;)

Hey Billy! we enjoyed looking through all your work. Thanks, for sharing.

Georges Braque said, "There is only one valuable thing in art: the thing you cannot explain."

Very nice work.

I see you have some new ones since last time. I like it! Hope everything is going good.

Hey Gingles! I've visited this site a million times, but never made a comment. I LOVE your work. You need to bring more work to class! Have a wonderful day! See you in class!

Very good. My wife and I have one of your works in our living room, which we love and are looking forward to obtaining another.

Hey, dude, long time no see.

Just surfing and thought I'd say hello. Maybe we can get together at something besides a funeral.

Ciao Bill. There are so many things referring to my life in your works. I find the clay shell/flower. I remember the colors of my basement and our small apartment in Francavilla. Our breakfast under the sun on our terrace and Hadrian's Villa in Tivoli. I've looked at your works again today and it was very exciting and emotional. Thank you for sharing that with us. Giorgio

Beautiful work.

I've enjoyed looking at your paintings. The layers draw me in. Very nice work!

Your work is so focused. The marks, the surfaces and compositions are so enjoyable. Thanks for the inspiration today.
