      Williams largely uses a dark palette in these early landscapes. Tonal qualities are subdued yet the overall impression is rich; vivid colours underscore the painting surface and give vibrancy to the work. His approach to the individual motifs of rock and tree is strongly reminiscent of that of the still-life painter - emphasis remains on the construction of solid forms.
