Last week I came across this great oil painting on craigslist. It's the first paiting I've ever owned. As soon as I saw it, I fell in love. I know nothing of its history. The guy selling it knew nothing. He really didn't want to part with it but needed the money. Actually, it's the first time I've bought something off craigslist where the person said to call them if I ever wanted to sell it. I promised to put a note on the back with their number just in case, but I don't see me parting with this one. I love the colors, the buildings and people, the reflection off the walkway like it has recently rained and the way the impressionist style of it leaves some things to your imagination. I know nothing about the artist L. Smith and can't seem to find anything online about him/her. I'm acutally hoping that maybe someone will come across this post and know something about this artist. I'd love to see other paintings by L. Smith.

That is a really great painting. Something very grown up and substantial about at oil painting, even moreso on a mantle.
Hmmm...now I'm curious about L. Smith too :)
You and I have very similar taste in art!!!
