Original Oil Painting by Geoffrey C. Smith
36"w x 36"h
 
Landing Spoonbill captures the arresting moment a roseate spoonbill touches down, wings outstretched and glowing with vibrant color. Executed in Geoffrey C. Smith’s signature palette knife oil technique, this painting pulses with texture and energy, blending fiery pinks and magentas with cool blues to convey both motion and grace.
The spoonbill’s signature spatulate bill and delicate, stilt-like legs are rendered with striking clarity amid a swirl of abstracted reflections. Long associated with the wetlands of Florida, this bird’s dramatic landing becomes a celebration of resilience and beauty in the natural world.
