Echoing the luminous spirit of the Impressionists, Wetlands Sunrise Diptych captures the first light rising over Florida’s marshlands. Geoffrey C. Smith uses bold palette knife strokes to build texture and depth, blending soft pastels with vibrant blues and greens to evoke reflection and movement across the water’s surface. Painted as two panels that meet at a shared horizon, the composition conveys both serenity and expanse. Rooted in observation yet alive with feeling, this contemporary landscape transforms a fleeting sunrise into a lasting meditation on light and place.
