Subdued reds and greens evoke a sense of calmness in the surrounding landscape of fields and mountains, while the bold form of a red barn creates a striking contrast against the surrounding landscape. The use of palette knives in oil painting ensures that the clarity of color is maintained, and the tonalist landscape is an exemplary display of Smith’s minimalist style.
