When the Eiteljorg Museum presented wildlife artist Daniel
Smith with the Quest for the West Art Show and Sale’s first-ever
Artist of Distinction Award, they set the bar exceptionally high.
The Artist of Distinction Award, which confers Smith with an
exclusive one-man exhibition at this year’s Quest for the
West show, represents just significant his work is to the art
community at large.
Sun Struck, Smith’s newest Fine Art Limited Edition,
demonstrates all the qualities that make the artist an award-winner.
While Dan Smith is known for his portraits of elk, we wanted
to wait until exactly the right image came along to publish it
as a full-size canvas. The instant we saw Sun Struck, we knew
we had a winner. As the pale golden dawn greets the mighty elk,
Smith’s deft and flawless brushstrokes create a truly unforgettable
scene. |
