JWD Smith Art

As an artist I perceive the landscape with a sense of awe and love. When a break of light, a motif or a scene captures my attention, it becomes art. Then, as an artist, it is my role to bring that into existence through the medium of paint, without embellishment, to convey my love to the viewer.

True landscape painting is born out of love. I believe this. But I also believe in the science of landscape painting and my work continuously seeks to balance both of these seemingly contradictory viewpoints in order to convey my love for landscape.
