Bill Lunshof
Aurora based fine artist Bill Lunshof grew up in a Dutch immigrant family and had an interest in the visual arts from an early age. Also an avid gardener and photographer Bill’s work takes much of his inspiration from nature.
Since 2016 Bill has been painting a series of old cars and trucks found in their natural state of decay. It started after I painted a picture of an old truck in my friends back property and gave it to him for his 60th birthday. I really enjoyed capturing the textures and colours on canvas. Turns out it was his grandfather’s truck from the farm he grew up on. It had such emotional resonance with the whole family it got me thinking about continuing on this journey.
Everyone has a special connection to a vehicle that they once drove or owned. I continue to hunt down old vehicles and love to photograph and paint them. Each one has a story to tell.

I've been getting out more to paint en Plein Aire. My friend has a wonderful property with a large pond and I painted this while the sun was illuminating the reeds on the other side on a peaceful summer evening.

I had no sooner set my easel up just beyond the 'no fishing' sign when this fellow showed up - so I incorporated him into my painting. I was at Mary Lake in King Township north of Toronto.

Tulips always look best after they’ve been on the vase for a few days and the start to spill over. I’ve tried to capture that moment.

Another piece in my Paris Series. I love everything about Paris. The people are so stylish and the street life is so vibrant. I fell in love with this wonderful blue door and waited for someone interesting to walk out of it.
