Al Willmott was a noted Westport artist. He died in 2006, at 83.
But longtime Westporters remember his pen-and-ink scenes of Westport, created each year as Christmas greetings.
They’re decades old now.
The stores and restaurants change. But we can all recognize downtown, at Christmastime.
Al’s illustrations are timeless.
And timely.
