Saving Paradise

Exhibition open June 16, 2010 and continues through October 23, 2010

In 1906 Smith visited California, which he called “nature’s own paradise of scenic splendor and variety.” He painted in Los Angeles, then traveled north to Oregon. Returning to Southern California, he established a studio home in Alhambra, in an area known as “Artists Alley.” The coastal areas and the sea in its many moods, was a favorite subject for Smith. Smith was best known for his seascapes and Sierra Nevada Mountain views.
