John Williams a modern, impressionism, expressionism oil painter captures the life in his paintings. I love expressionism paintings because when a viewer looks at these types of paintings most of the time they can relate to the painting, because the painting is understood by what it is, but not always exactly who or where it is. paintings like these two done by John Williams allows the viewer to put themselves in the painting and relate to it. Especially in the first image the negative space it so beautifully done with the different shades of grays.
