About this artwork
This is a nocturnal landscape. The starry sky is echoed in the river and appears to flow into the viewer's space. The landscape is painterly with intentional brush strokes built up in several thin layers. The painting intersperses long lines with large areas of color and small jewelled accents. Although the landscape is figurative, it also employs elements of abstraction.

« I am a thief. I steal from the world around me. Each walk down the street presents forms and colors that ask to be played with- the shadow of a bike, the corner of an awning, the lines bridging telephone poles...even the tiny sliver of light passing beneath a mailbox. All of these things are game for me. »
Sally K. Smith is an experienced painter from the United States whose works have been exhibited in solo and group shows nationally. Her background in music as a concert pianist influences how she approaches her artistic practice; she sees her work as a passage of time, not unlike listening to a Bach prelude. Working in oil paints and charcoal, Smith creates abstract and imaginary landscapes inspired by the world around her, committing to either bright color palettes or stark minimalism.
