Goodnight Greenwall
Oil on Canvas, 91 x 82 cm, 2024
A wooden boat carries a family through rough water, while a tree rises from its center with both falling leaves and new growth. The image frames the family unit as something unstable yet living, shaped by shared movement rather than fixed security. Each figure responds to hardship differently: one points forward, another plays, another holds a child, while the tree itself continues to grow inside the storm. 

This becomes a symbol of growth under pressure, where life develops not outside difficulty, but within it. The contrast between yellow leaves and fresh green branches suggests renewal and struggle happening at the same time. Through this scene, William emphasizes collective strength, showing family as a structure that survives through adaptation, care, and the quiet decision to keep moving toward light. 
This work is both a family portrait and a broader observation of the family unit. Each figure responding differently to hardship—some with courage, some with calm, some with imagination or hope—yet together they continue forward through the storm. The tree rising from the boat becomes a symbol of growth forged under pressure, carrying both falling leaves and new life at once, speaking to the coexistence of renewal and struggle. Rather than portraying triumph as the absence of suffering, it speaks to the quiet, collective strength of family that continues to grow, adapt, and move toward light even while surrounded by chaos.
