Smith explained, For this piece, I gathered an apple and a blue dropcloth. I used oil paints on canvas, which is the medium I prefer. In particular, the accentuation of the shading on the leaves and the apple are represented well. My paintings can be categorized into portraits or still life, which I like to do the most. Inspiration comes from my real life, seeing the color and artistic aspects of everyday objects. Bringing a certain spotlight to seemingly insignificant objects brings emotion and feeling into life, making it less dull and humdrum. Rooting in realism, painting brings a heart to lifeless objects.
