The bright city lights dance across the slow moving waters of a lazy river at night. All the hubbub of the city is slowed to a peaceful glow in the reflection.
It is the wonderment of colours in the world that drives Marg Smith to put brush to canvas. Rather than paint one specific subject she paints whatever captures her heart.She strives to capture that “WOW” moment in time and evoke that same feeling in her viewers.
An Albertan by birth, Marg now live in Okotoks and is thrilled by the amazing sunsets, the fantastic mountains, foothills and prairie scenes in such diverse vivid conditions. M.L. Marg Smith enjoys travelling to various places in the world and marvel at beautiful sights and scenes that are witnessed in her travels. Marg’s goal is to convey that wonder, to evoke in the viewer that same “WOW!” feeling that she gets when observing that particular moment in time.
Smith works in oils but has used acrylics and watercolours. In order to achieve the light and colour in her paintings she normally uses a translucent colour that will unify the painting. She does regularly paint alla prima, but will paint certain paintings in glazes (thin layers) of oil as well. All the paintings on this website are originals. She has indicated which ones are framed and which ones are “gallery wrapped” and deep profile. Packing and shipping costs will be extra and billed at cost. If the purchaser is within 70 km radius, and the purchase is over $200 Cdn, the artist will deliver upon mutual acceptance of date and time.
