Yesterday I received the very sad news that our friend Noel Williams had passed away this August.
Fellow participants of the Painting Challenge know Noel well from his wonderfully creative, loquacious and hilarious submissions to our little event (he was a poet after all). I always knew, that when a Noel entry was posted, that I'd be entertained by his great wit, impressed by his furious industry and invigorated by his ebullient enthusiasm.
He will be greatly missed.
Wishing you smooth sailing and open skies, Noel.
