One of the most iconic structures in the Pacific Northwest, the Space Needle conjures up so many wonderful memories. It's one of the things people think of first when they think about Seattle.

The Space Needle

To the west of my home lies the beautiful Olympic National Park. The Hoh Rainforest is on the western side of the park, and is the home of many elk. Just one of the many beautiful things about living in the PNW.

Elk in Hoh Rainforest

On the way home from a Seattle Mariners game, this is what I witnessed. I took a photo of it and brought it back to my home studio to paint. It sold within the first week to one of my high school classmates.

Heading Home

My family loves going to the zoo! We took the kids into the aquarium which might have been the best part of the trip that day. They have an amazing jellyfish tank and it inspired me to create this piece. They are such interesting creatures to watch, and the colors are absolutely beautiful. They are an incredible combination of constant and fluid motion. This would look great in any PNW home.

Jellyfish

This bird is not native to the PNW, but it was one of the animals in Seattle's Woodland Park Zoo. I loved the brightness and contrast present in this scene, so I just had to paint it.

This painting is available, but it is on display at one of my partner locations. Contact me for information about purchasing.

Taveta Golden Weaver

I decided to participate in our local Whaling Days event during the summer of 2023, but I didn't have any whales in my portfolio. So I decided to paint my favorite whale, the orca. This painting sold within 4 days to a family member.

Docked in Port Orchard

These flowers show up in my garden each year on schedule. Some come in white like this one. Some come in with a fuchsia tone. Either way, they are beautiful and a consistent source of inspiration for me.

Garden Flower 2

Originally, I made this one just as an experiment and had no intention of selling it. However, a friend really liked it. So who am I to get in the way of that? My goal here was to experiment with some of the fluorescent colors adding them to my usual palette and see if I can capture more of the intense feeling of light.

This was my second hydrangea painting. With this one, I wanted to try a slightly different style while maintaining the intensity of color and light.

Hydrangea 2

We have hydrangeas spread around our small yard. And each year, they show up a little differently. I wanted to try and capture the feeling I get with the intensity of color on a bright summer day.

Original painting by Adam Smith. 2022.

24" x 24". Acrylic and spray paint on canvas. Ready to hang.

One morning as I was driving downtown along the water, the tide was far out. It was a foggy morning, and in the distance I saw a female deer and her two fawn. I stopped the car, jumped out, and took some reference photos for this painting. I decided to put a base coat of silver spray paint on the canvas and paint on top of that leaving little bits revealed to create a subtle shimmer. My hope was to capture the tranquility and coolness of the scene.

Deer Crossing

My daughter loves to go on hikes, and she took several photos while in the Coast Mountains. I loved this one and asked her if I could paint it. This was donated to a nonprofit for an auction, but a good friend of mine ended up purchasing it.

View From the Coast Mountains

I made this painting to raise money for a local nonprofit. This was made from a photo taken during a hike of a forest brook.
