In the front room this month we have a focus wall with new work by Mike Smith of Cobourg Ontario. The featured selection of acrylic paintings by Mike Smith depict familiar elements in the rural landscape where the sky and horizon feature prominently. Architectural pieces, such as the lighthouse featured this month are rendered in high realism with technical precision.
Mike Smith was born in South Africa and has lived in Canada since the late 80’s. He has been involved in art for most of his life - working as an art director and creative director for advertising agencies in Toronto and South Africa until 2003 when he decided to paint full time. Since moving to rural Ontario outside Cobourg, the inspiration for his paintings has been the beautiful countryside of Eastern Ontario. Smith has participated in numerous shows, including The Art Gallery of Northumberland, the Fine Art Festivals in Merrickville and Westport, and Cobourg. In addition he is represented by several Ontario galleries. View more artwork by Mike Smith on his artist page on our website. Welcome to Tay River Gallery Mike!
