Oil

Smith Blanchard painting of a whimsical jungle scene that depicts a group of exotic animals gathered around a bright blue river. The oil painting is a beautiful representation of the wilderness and wildlife which is a staple of Blanchard's work. The piece is framed and in good condition with the artist's signature centered at the bottom.

Born on August 19, 1952 in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Blanchard was the son of the late Haitian artist Sisson Blanchard who worked as a yard-boy at the Centre d'Art in Port-au-Prince. His father encouraged him to paint and helped him develop his own unique style (very different from his father's). Like his father, Smith Blanchard's paintings are rare and very hard to come by.
