The Gathering
About this artwork
Artist Lee Smith presents seven bird friends gathered together, one grinning with joy. Bold brushstrokes outline each bird with coordinated gray shades applied by both brush and fingers. Lee meticulously details the rich blue-gray background with gold strokes providing interest, flow, and texture. Note how each bird is visually connected, moving the eye around the painting, says Lee. She complements and enhances the gray palette's depth with strategically placed pops of teal.
