Hosted by The Gulfport Art Center
The Gulfport Arts Center is pleased to announce Milton Williams as our Artist of the Month for March. Milton has been a long time member of the Gulfport Arts Center and has been experimenting in acrylic art mediums and techniques vocationally for 45 years.
“Art is an adventure – for the artist as well the viewer.” Since art is an adventure, he has enjoyed exploring ways to render the subject matter, which led to several series of paintings: “Roof Tops”, “Wood Grain Primitives”, ” Beneath Our Islands” and “Arcadia Bayou Scenes”. He is known for his textured acrylic paintings of landscape scenes, which he creates primarily through use of a palette knife. He will often add sand, marble dust or pumice to the fluid paints to re-create an impressionistic landscape. The painting then can be viewed from different angles and depending on the lighting they have a varied appearance each time they are looked at. This is due to the angle of light reflecting off each textured surface of color.
“I hope you enjoy viewing my art and it brings an awe of God’s creation and a pleasant joy each time you see them. My journey has been advanced by encouragement from my precious wife, parents who observed my aptitude in the visual arts, family, friends and patrons and above all, my redeemer Jesus Christ, for His Love, Grace and Gifts. To give honor to whom honor is due, I write on the back of my works – “To The Lord Be The Glory” – Milton Williams
