沾着夕阳的夏火

杂七杂八

William B. MacGregor Jr. was born in Medfield MA in 1947 and the son and grandson of Norfolk Hunt Club kennel masters. Bill is from a family of self taught artists, woodcarvers, and skilled automobile mechanics.
His love affair with cars began in 1964 when he bought his first car, a rusted green 1948 Dodge convertible. Today he owns a 1939 Ford Station Wagon, which he has owned since 1972 ,1955 Ford Crown Victoria with a glass roof, 1988 Chevrolet Station Wagon, and looking for a 1955 Chevy Nomad.
Bill is a graduate of Medfield High School, Wentworth Institute, Northeastern University, and McIntosh College (Phi Theta Kappa). My artwork is influenced by a passion for old cars and an engineering career which encompasses Civil Engineering & Surveying, major defense contractors, QC manager for thin-film optical coatings and a drafting consultant for WCVB-TV Channel 5. (A major Boston television station) Bill has recently retired as a Senior Engineer with Lockheed Martin is now a full time artist!

Bill now spends his free time as a self-taught artist in the junkyards and traveling to auto swap meets, art festivals and country fairs in the New England area.
His painting technique incorporates “old skool” mechanical and civil drafting techniques including ruling pens, leroy, inking the drawing and then completing it using watercolors, acrylics and gouache.
