Original Geoffrey C. Smith Oil Painting
18"W x 24"H
 
This vertical painting features a small group of red and black cattle grazing under a stand of tall cabbage. Cattle egrets move around their feet, adding motion and contrast to the scene. The palm fronds above are painted with loose, angled strokes, creating texture and a sense of breeze. In the distance, a soft horizon line and pale sky suggest the open land beyond. The composition focuses on the relationship between the cattle, the birds, and the landscape, capturing a slice of rural Florida life with a relaxed, painterly approach.
