Waterpond in a Landscape II 1966

  

oil on canvas 152.5 x 122.0 cm

      While this series derives from the Upwey landscapes, these paintings mark a turning point for Williams in terms of his use of colour. All three works in the series have a two-dimensional decorative effect but are dominated by a glowing orange and red colour scheme indicative of heat as well as allowing the pictorial drama of the work to resonate.
