Grace Notes

When you least expect it, a visual experience will overcome you, challenging you to slow down, open your eyes, and feel the quiet power of Nature. It will take your breath away, it will bring tears to your eyes, you will feel humbled and grateful. These are moments of natural beauty, generously handed down from above.

William Marvin has been observing and appreciating these gifts since he was a child. He calls them Grace Notes. They are personal reflections on the special moments he was fortunate to see. They are written in a revealing manner that invites you to enter into his world, his vision, captured in small, impressionistic oil painting sketches.

His shadow on these rambles along the backroads of our country is a big, black lab, always ready for adventure, capable of providing protection and companionship around the campfire. Join them and experience the freedom and wonder they have found in hidden, often forgotten places; the North woods of Upper Michigan, the Midwest prairie, the low country of the South and along the rugged coast of Maine. Experiencing the grace of God's gifts is a privilege and one he is compelled to share.
