Original Geoffrey C. Smith Oil Painting, 2022.
16" W x 12" H
 
In this vibrant original oil painting, a cow and her companion are captured in a moment of quiet companionship with their sharp, white egret counterparts. Using thick, expressive brushwork and a sun-drenched palette, Smith emphasizes the rhythmic contrast between the heavy presence of the cattle and the light, darting movement of the birds. The composition is alive with texture, focusing on the interplay of light across the pasture and the simple, peaceful harmony of this fine art study of the Florida heartland.
