Are you looking to fill your home with multi-hued landscape paintings that have an energy all their own? If that’s the situation, we’d suggest that you consider looking at the life’s work of contemporary artist, Ford Smith. Both of those previously qualities may be found in his landscape and seascape paintings.
Ford Smith’s love of landscape and seascape paintings may be traced back to Japan. It is where he spent part of his childhood. From there, he moved back to the U.S. Once in the states, he continued perfecting his painting skills. He also spent time as a commercial and fashion photographer. Today, his work continues to captivate those that take the time to view it.
One Ford Smith painting that may appeal to your sensibilities is the Natural Optimist. It features a stand of trees that are reflected in a body of water. The trees feature narrow trunks that allow Smith’s yellow-hued sky to flood the painting with light. The tops of the trees sport bold tufts of red foliage that only add to the painting’s appeal. Because of the painting’s subject matter and Smith’s smart use of color, it would pair well with contemporary furnishings as well as other pieces from his collection. Thus, you could feasibly set-up a display wall using the trees and color scheme as the central theme. Other Ford Smith gems that would complement the Natural Optimist include Altruistic Nature, Amber Reception, Greener Grass and Beyond Imagination.

If you are looking to incorporate more than reds, yellows and blues to your display wall, don’t worry. Some of Ford Smith’s additional paintings contain other colors that would be appropriate for use in contemporary design schemes. A superior example is his Dash of Energy painting. It features dark colored trees, a yellow-orange horizon and water. The water is where the unexpected splashes of color come into the picture. The list of colors used in the water portion of the painting includes purples, pinks, peaches, blues and more.
