a teenager's last day in Ireland
Years ago, when I was just a young guy tending bar in New York City, I befriended the author Kurt Vonnegut. During a night of riotous drinking, he introduced me to the artist Nicademis Hufford. They became like older brothers to me. Later on Nick, in his attempt to prod me, jokingly said "Bill, if you want to hang with us, you should either learn how to write or paint." Thank you Nick. ' After many years of owning restaurants in New York, and my subsequent career in the legal profession, I realized that I enjoyed painting above all else -- I hope you enjoy my work.

Bill I love the way the lines draw me around the scene ... and as always with your wonderful artwork ... wonderful story being told. I read the comments ... and understand the sense of sadness and yearning I felt as I came into the image. Beautiful ... beautiful. I wonder ... did she ever have a chance to return? l/f t p
Bill OConnor replied:

The compelling flat cubist perspective in these magical works creates a unique universe, Bill.
Bill OConnor replied:

Also, that you 'date' this to that moment, in life, so young and unprepared, to have to go forth, but sadly, to leave behind, all, though little they know at that age, and Marie would thank you, for knowing and loving her enough to create this monumental recording of that monumental moment for her......V.
Bill OConnor replied:
thanks for all this Viva -- Mom left the West of Ireland on a May morning in 1930 -- she was only 16-years old -- I still miss her everyday.

Beautiful, I say first,then to add, how fascinating that you really can evoke the 30's so precisely, and the nostalgia plays on every nerve to elicit that certain feeling only this can call forth, Bill. I just love this, all of it........palette,lovely but sad/beautiful dreamer,the sea,the interior......all just so wonderful, and as always,I so admire your 'marks', how you paint, your touch.........Kudos,compliments,wows, f.v....VIVA
