The Beauty of Color as Captured by Alice Edgar Williams

New book presents a collection of selected works byone of the most recognizable and sought after painters in America today

Atlanta, GA – (Release Date TBD) – Fascinating works of a prolific painter whose brushstrokes denote the bravado of a master are bound to captivate art aficionados as artist Alice Edgar Williams stirs the publishing and art worlds with her dynamic creativity. She marshals a wide-ranging collection of her paintings in A Williams: Selected Works, a vibrant picture book newly released through Xlibris.

“When I was a young artist, hungry for knowledge, I would periodically go to the bookstore and, most of the time, search in vain for truly fine work by living artists.  I hope that this book will provide creative motivation for artists young and old who are looking for the same kind of inspiration,” shares Williams.

In this captivating anthology, she displays lush paintings that bring inspiration and capture the beauty of even the most routine events and moments. Professional models as well as friends and family were used as subjects. From a woman taking a nap to a man enjoying his coffee to the busy streets of a town to the ambience of a Saturday market, Williams is mindful of the beauty of life whether it’s in the everyday or the extraordinary.  Readers are taken from figures to still lifes, then onto breathtaking landscapes, gardens and exotic locales including Africa.  piring,
