The Long Winter Journey of William Mangum
PineStraw Magazine / Jim Dodson | PRINT | December 2009
“There’s something in each of us, I think, that eventually needs to give something back to those who have helped us on the journey,” says acclaimed artist and Pinehurst native Bill Mangum, pausing to reflect on a particular painting in his spacious Greensboro gallery. “And for me, this painting really says it all.”
The painting is called “Bridge of Hope.” It shows a simple stone bridge spanning a woodland creek, mantled by newly fallen snow. In the forefront, a lone set of footsteps tracks across the bridge, while in the distance a man moves toward a clearing where afternoon sunlight paints the tops of the trees and blue skies hint of a receding storm.
