Key West Rooster

Original Geoffrey C. Smith Oil Painting
36"w x 48"h
 
Proud and unapologetically bold, the rooster in this painting stands like it owns the path beneath its feet—and maybe it does. Key West Rooster captures that familiar island character with palette knife strokes that are as vivid and unrestrained as the bird itself. Sun-warmed oranges, deep indigos, and flashes of yellow pulse with the energy of the tropics.
 
There’s nothing shy about this piece, and that’s the point. Geoffrey C. Smith brings his expressive style to a subject that feels larger than life, even at this modest scale. The layered texture gives the feathers a sculptural weight, while the loose background hums with pastel heat and morning light. It’s a portrait of attitude, sunshine, and the kind of spirit that refuses to blend in.
