Have you ever seen something so beautiful you feel as though you are the luckiest person in the world to have been at that place at that moment? You snap a picture but some how the photograph never seems quite as spectacular as when you were actually there. This is why I love to paint. It allows me to capture on canvas, the feelings or emotions of the moment (i.e. the wind in the grass, the calm of a large shady tree, a dark approaching storm, the unique personality of an animal....). That being said, photography is also a great passion of mine. I was lucky enough to grow up with a dad that had a serious camera addiction, which was passed on to me at a very young age. I now feel that these two addictions of mine work hand and hand to create images where you find yourself saying "I wish I was there." I spend my time between North Florida and Jackson Hole, Wyoming (home to Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Park). As such, my work includes both western and Florida art. My paintings focus on landscapes and animals. The beaches, marshes, and rivers of Florida provide irresistible subjects to paint, as do the majestic Teton mountains which are surrounded by spectacular wildlife; such as deer, antelope, moose, bears, and elk that can be seen throughout the valley. I am also available to paint commissioned pieces of artwork. If there is a special scene or subject that you would like to have painted, please feel free to contact me for additional information. www.smillironart.com
