Pelican Reflect

Original Geoffrey C. Smith Oil Painting on 100% Sustainable Wood Panel (no tropical hardwood)
24"W x 36"H
 
In this vivid palette knife oil painting, Geoffrey C. Smith captures a brown pelican adrift in a shimmering pool of color. The bird floats serenely, its warm golden plumage mirrored in the rippling water below. Brushstrokes dance with purples, blues, and sunset hues, turning reflection into abstraction—an echo of light and life. The composition is both grounded and dreamlike, a moment suspended between motion and stillness.
