I started painting as a creative outlet.
Well, one thing led to another and the artist known as “Billy Splatts!” was born. I have given away many of my paintings to charities such as the Red Cross, The Rich Cronin Foundation, The Carol Baldwin Foundation, SurfRiders, The Visiting Nurse Centers, and The Riverbed Foundation. (Sold a lot too! ; D )
It was an hobby that blessed many by taking on a life of it’s own.
