Blue Moon Mountain, Original Painting

2025

Artist Comments
Artist Dwight Smith presents a whimsical, surrealist scene where three towering ice cream cones rise like mountain peaks. Suspended in the soft pink sky, a blue button moon dangles from a delicate thread, adding an imaginative touch. This modern still life merges playful fantasy with nature, celebrating snow-capped forms as both ski slopes and sweet treats.

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.
