Painted back in mid-19th century, The Snowball Fight is a painting produced by an English artist George Williams, whose vivid imagination of a wintery day has been poured down on a canvas with great integrity. Just like the real scene, in painting everything has been covered by a white theme of snow and the greenery of trees and grass is not visible at all. In such cold times, some kids are playing the snow ball fight in the middle of a road. That’s a great joy. Children always find joy in any situation. The area is from an English town on a general day. Right behind the playing children, a horse wagon is standing with some loading. It describes the fact that the immense […]

Water being one of the toughest elements to describe on a canvas with oil, Terrick Williams has taken the same challenge in his hand by portraying a busy port of English town Brixham. The challenge has been accomplished adequately by the artist who mainly illustrated landscapes with marine subjects. The waving surface of the water and the strikingly accurate reflections of the boats and little bit of sky makes us realize his understanding of the entire scene. Brixham is a small fishing town. And many boats can be perceived anchored at the bays. Terrick Williams has represented a normal day from the town with a little bit of artistic imagination which gives the scene its red and gold colors which are prominent colors in the […]
