One of my favorite paintings is “Old Man” who sits under starry sky with open book and quill in hand.  Another, titled “Abundance”, is not found in Illuminations, but in Hidden Worlds: The Visionary Art of Gilbert Williams Volume II, available thru Amazon. View original works of art, hand-signed gift shop prints and Gilbert’s portfolio here in his online gallery.

Up for bid on eBay is a Gilbert Williams Projections Jigsaw Puzzle, “Dragon Song”. Fantasy Prints currently has individual Gilbert Williams note cards for sale, six different designs.
