Winter Sunset III by Todd Williams
Todd Williams. His ability to portray light in his paintings is uncanny. Winter Sunset III is such a wonderful painting. The moody, cold skies, and that sunset… ooh, that sunset, how that wonderful golden glow just makes the landscape come alive. I enjoy the subtle hints of light in the snow. Just gorgeous!
Glow of a New Day by Todd Williams
Glow of a New Day is another exceptional painting. I think the areas with that wonderful orange just make the light so dramatic. The sun shining in the girls hair, the movement of the sheets, the bright sun, the beautiful trees and sky all contribute to one dynamic painting!

Read a bit about Todd, from his website:
Born in the small farming community of Central City, Nebraska. Since his childhood he has been aware of the natural beauty of the world around him, an awareness that he continues to cultivate today through the art of painting.
Todd was eager from an early age to pursue art. At a time when most of us leave our crayons behind, he was being accepted and encouraged by his classmates, as an artist. “When I was 7, I took out some colored pencils and a posterboard. There was a poster of a tiger in my bedroom and I remember spreading out on the floor with these pencils, looking up and drawing the tiger. The next Friday I took it to show and tell at school. The other kids and the teacher liked it. I’ll never forget that feeling of acceptance from sharing my experience in color and shape. As children we all love the colors and our crayon expressions. But the reality is that everyone of us is an artist at heart. We just move on to share and express it in other ways.”
After studying painting and illustration at the Kansas City Art Institute, he graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, Williams went on to be an in-house Senior Artist/Designer for Hallmark Cards and DaySpring Cards for the next ten years.
