A colorful little bird watches over her nest perched on a ledge. The white porcelain trays represent cliffs that are fixtures on any nesting island. The asymmetrical arrangement of the elements creates a dynamic composition. The artwork reflects a season of migration and nesting.
About the Artist
Artist Dwight Smith creates realistic watercolor paintings with narratives that evoke a familiar and comforting sense of kitsch and Americana. His works often feature everyday items portrayed with a playful and humorous twist, characterized by a strong graphic style that lends them a pop art feel. Through skillful manipulation of scale and composition, Dwight brings out a sense of the absurd, ultimately aiming to bring a smile to the viewer's face. Drawing strength from his faith allows him to see art in ordinary objects. "It has kept me going and has been my inspiration," says Dwight. He works in a small yet tidy studio, where he brings his artistic visions to life on his desk, illuminated by the bright glow of lamps. Outside of painting, Dwight enjoys biking, hiking, and spending quality time with his wife.
