Beautiful Landscapes by Sallie K. Smith at the Small Gems Exhibition

Sallie K. Smith "Golden Banner"  6 x 18 oil

Saks Galleries
presents 
American Art Invitational
Small Gems

December 3 - 31 , 2011
Opening Reception Saturday, Dec. 3rd 5:pm - 8:pm
Artist and Patron Coffee Sunday, Dec. 4th 10:am - 1:pm

Sallie K. Smith

Though Smith paints other subjects, she prefers landscapes, and enjoys letting the work speak for her. The gentle yet vibrant images she depicts are inspired by her favorite vistas—most notably, the mountainous views that surround her home—and reflect her reverent admiration for the land. "Nature, to me, is so perfect in every detail; it gives me peace and, at the same time, is exhilarating. I am trying to capture that ethereal sensibility in my work, knowing that these moments of solitude are often fleeting. I invite the viewer to step inside my paintings and enjoy with me these special places."
