Artwork
"Attraction" is a still life watercolor painted in the realist tradition. I have two themes with this painting: sweet goods and their attraction with insects, and the circle shape. I wanted to carry the circle from the main topic, the cake pop, to the background. I used color to push the cake pop forward while varying the value of the black and white circles to give more interest and dimension.
Dwight Smith
Bradenton, Florida
Dwight Smith depicts commonplace objects with a sense of playfulness and humor. His watercolor still life paintings appear conventional in their soft colors and composed compositions, but upon further observation the juxtaposition of unrelated items make for delightfully surprising combinations and comparisons. This transformation of the everyday, and strong graphic style, lend the work a pop feel. However, pop art is generally cool and ironic. Instead, there is a familiar and comforting sense of kitsch and Americana in Dwight’s subjects. In a similar fashion to the work of American artist Wayne Thiebaud, Dwight paints food and sweets of the American appetite. Doughnuts, hotdogs, and lollipops are captured in all of their potent delight. He plays with scale and composition to bring out a sense of the absurd, but ultimately his goal is to make the viewer smile.

Dear Dwight, I just received "Full Moon" and Between Seasons"! The paintings are absolutely gorgeous, the colors and reality of the images are incredible! My interest for your amazing work started with "When two or more agree II" and the last two pantings are just as beautiful. I am planning to display all together in my kitchen and I am sure it will be a fun and inspiring wall to look at while I am cooking! :) Thank you so much!!!!

I am looking at "A Stroll Along the Green." Any framing suggestions? Is there a margin that would allow a mat and frame? Thanks, LMC

Thank you Mrs. Immediato. I enjoy painting still life 's with birds. This watercolor was a favorite of mine and my wife's. Thank you again.
Beautiful and clever title
I'm so glad you enjoy the watercolor and puffins that love to chit chat. I can't take full creative credit for it was my wife's idea. I hope you and family enjoy the Holiday Seasons.
My husband and I love the whimsy of the piece. We've seen all 3 of the world's species of puffins and would love to chat with any of them on a party line.
Thank you Vinalrae. I hope you and family had a great Holiday Season.

Thank you for your comment Ms. Wittner. I loved painting Daydreaming. I suppose I was inspired from our dog.
