One of his notable paintings is "Lady with a Red Hat, " created in 1918, which depicts a woman wearing an elegant red hat that exudes confidence and allure. The oil on canvas technique used by Strang brings out the vibrant colors and intricate details of the artwork. In another masterpiece titled "Christian Loses His Burden, " painted around 1916, Strang showcases his ability to capture emotions through art. This piece portrays Christian, burdened by his sins, as he struggles to find redemption. The artist's skillful brushstrokes convey the weightiness of Christian's journey and evoke empathy from viewers. "Panchita Zorolla" is yet another example of William Strang's talent in capturing human expression. Painted in 1916, this oil on canvas artwork reveals the beauty and complexity of its subject with striking realism.

Strang also ventured into etching as seen in his work depicting Robert Louis Balfour Stevenson, a renowned Scottish author who lived from 1850-1894. Created in 1895, this etching captures Stevenson's essence with remarkable precision and pays homage to his literary contributions. The themes explored by William Strang extend beyond portraiture; he also delves into religious narratives such as "Adam and Eve Expelled from Paradise. " Inspired by John Milton's epic poem Paradise Lost, this artwork illustrates the moment when Adam and Eve are banished from Eden due to their disobedience. Through masterful composition and symbolism, Strang conveys both sorrow and hope within this biblical tale. Continuing with religious motifs found in literature, "The Scourging of Faithful" depicts a scene from John Bunyan's famous novel The Pilgrim's Progress From This World.
