Original Oil Painting of a palm tree by Geoffrey C. Smith
12"w x 16"h.
 
This tropical coastal scene features three leaning palm trees along a quiet shoreline, with their reflections mirrored in calm, shallow water. The sky is painted in soft layers of pastel pink, yellow, lavender, and blue, suggesting early morning or just after sunset. The brushwork is light and expressive, especially in the sky and water, giving the painting an open, peaceful feel. The composition balances vertical elements of the trees with horizontal bands of color in the sky and sea. It's a tranquil image that captures the quiet rhythm of Florida's coastal landscapes.
