There is an exhibition of Fred Williams' paintings at the National Gallery of Australia. It is entitled Infinite Horizons. This is the first major retrospective of Fred Williams’ work in over 25 years.
Fred Williams, Beachscape with bathers,1971.
I do not know much about his seascapes series done in the horizontal strip format. Williams is known for his landscapes as the subject than seascapes.
Fred Williams, Beachscape, Erith Island, 1974
These look to be painting en plein air to me. The horizontal strip format in his paintings were designed to present different aspects of one scene on the same sheet
