Original Acrylic on Masonite by Geoffrey C. Smith
20"W x 16"H
 
This landscape captures the open prairies near Pine Creek in Okeechobee, Florida. Painted in soft tones with layered acrylic brushwork, the scene shows a stretch of flat grassland under a wide, cloud-filled sky. Muted purples, oranges, and greens suggest wildflowers and native sub dotting the foreground, while a subtle path curves off into the distance. The horizon is marked by a thin line of trees, barely breaking the stillness. The sky takes up most of the composition, emphasizing the quiet scale of inland Florida and the slow rhythm of its open spaces.
