First Alfalfa Crop, c. 1980 24 x 36 inches, oil on canvas, signed PRICE ON REQUEST | VIEW LARGER IMAGE PROVENANCE "First Alfalfa Crop" is an ideal example of Smith's oeuvre; warmth permeates from the horizon and gently bathes the farmer and his horses as they work the land. He represents the soil as a living being, which produces life and the calmness of his figures as they reflect on the happenings of the day. Smith's rich colors are carefully employed without abandoning his conservative style, which is indicative of Utah's Mormon influence as well as his rural upbringing.
