Lots to share... let's get started!
We'll start with Ford's recent travel for inspired palettes and landscapes.
Inspiration gathering in italy
Great art doesn't happen in a vacuum, you know.
Ford recently spent a couple of weeks in Italy, and guess what he saw?
Yes, an actual Ford Smith tree line. Perhaps those years living in Italy as a child recorded some indelible memories of trees in Ford's youthful brain.
You can bet we're going to see more big skies from this landscape painter, too... like this one he painted several years ago using only memories as inspiration.
Ford was able to recall the endlessly radiant skies of Tuscany quite well.

Be on the lookout for Ford's new interpretation of the light, colors and landscapes inspired by this recent trip.
...And you'll love this!
Ford Smith's "La Dolce Vita In Concert" with artist Eddie Freeland is a true artistic collaboration.
Eddie re-imagined the original wild flower meadow with a beautiful Italian vineyard and Ford helped him paint this stunning creation. Eddie later sculpted the new art with glass and resin.
The lower half has been reimagined and repainted in 3-dimensions.
Wow, right?
Let's see what else is new in the gallery...
this original isn't quite finished yet, but we couldn't resist showing you...
Pretty spectacular, isn't it?
A little backstory...
Not many people know that Ford started college in 1968 with a full-ride scholarship in Mathematics, but later switched his major to Fine Art and graduated with a Degree in Painting. These right brain/left brain competencies are evidenced in his distinctive style of painting. There is an orderliness and precision to the vibrant and wildly imaginative elements and compositions. Exciting paintings like "Degrees of Separation" (24"x18") flawlessly demonstrate this rare artistic capability.
limited editions... the best of the best
