HAPPY STONES by William Johnston
Happiness is a complex and multifaceted emotion that encompasses a range of positive feelings, from contentment to intense joy. It is often associated with positive life experiences, such as achieving goals, spending time with loved ones, or engaging in enjoyable activities. However, happiness can also arise spontaneously, by LOVING your Happy Stone.

Mr. Johnston is known for being an artist, educator, author, husband and father. His children all have professional degrees and his own degree is a Masters of Theology from Southern Methodist University.
William Johnston, Artist of the year - 2019, is an abstract expressionist known for his distinct, fractal-esque style that works to “fill the mind with inspiration.” His paintings are multifaceted and resemble both landscapes and portraits, although they firmly remain in the realm of the abstract. In his attempt to capture an almost Biblical grandiosity, Johnston has turned his work towards both the organic and the synthetic. His intricate patterns hearken to the natural complexity of organic forms while also insistently hinting at the future possibilities of the digital world. Aesthetically and thematically, Johnston shows the influence of the vast landscapes of the American Southwest. He has become ‘America’s Artist.’
His artwork introduces a new form of oil painting that includes the technique of Pablo Picasso and Jackson Pollock, the charm of Vincent Van Gogh, the reflective imagination of Claud Monet and the free style of Gerhard Richter. It is said he paints with a divine heart and calls the viewers to search down deep for meaning. History will record that he has captured a spiritual reflection in his paintings and that he has taken a ‘Leap of Faith.’ These are truly remarkable paintings the likes of which have never been seen or felt before. Exhibits include Banks and Educational Institutions, The Seven State Biennial Exhibition, The Nesbitt Gallery, The Charles B. Goddard Center, The Red River Museum, Agora Gallery in New York City and The Cross on I-40 east of Amarillo, and Artist of the Decade - 2010 - 2020 by Art Tour International. He hosts the William Johnston website at wrjart.com." Look for large display at Cherokee City Hall. Cherokee, Oklahoma, and Fairview, Oklahoma Library
