William Maughan's Work

Two women in white dresses and hats stand arm-in-arm, gazing at a rocky coastal landscape. The ocean spans the horizon under a clear sky, creating a serene scene.
Dr. William Maughan
Cars are parked near a sunny beach where people stroll and relax under blue skies. Palm trees and a small building sit on the sandy area, with the ocean in the background.
Dr. William Maughan
Painting of a lively market scene with people walking and interacting beneath colorful umbrellas. Surrounded by vibrant pink and yellow buildings, including a clock tower, under a clear sky.

A large tree with cascading branches casts shadows over a serene pond, with part of a large structure, resembling the Eiffel Tower, visible in the background. The setting is lush and peaceful.
Dr. William Maughan
Streetcars move down a busy urban street lined with tall buildings. Brightly colored cars and pedestrians populate the scene, creating a vibrant city atmosphere in soft, painterly brushstrokes.
