Living Color Series

Living Color series of small paintings by shirley williams

Color. Texture. Energy.

Living Color is an exploration of the natural energy that connects us, expressed through color, texture and organic form.

The series brings together 60 intimate paintings, each 8 × 8 inches, exploring four essential sensations of life — Pulse, Breath, Flow and Growth — through three harmonious color families: Green, Blue and Violet.

Built with richly layered acrylic on birch panels, each painting has its own character while sharing a visual language that connects the entire collection.

These small works invite closer looking, revealing subtle details, movement and depth through their tactile surfaces. They can be enjoyed individually or brought together in groupings that create a larger, personal expression.
