The Moments In-Between | 84" x76"

About the Artwork

The Moments In-Between is a captivating 84" x 76" mixed media painting by Blu Smith created on canvas. This ethereal work captures those fleeting transitional moments in nature—when dawn dissolves into day, light filters through water, or forest shadows give way to illumination. Smith masterfully explores these liminal spaces through his signature combination of acrylic, oil, and cold beeswax, creating a work that seems suspended between states of being.

The composition flows from deep, mysterious depths of crimson and midnight blue at the base, ascending through a luminous central passage of warm peach, soft coral, and chartreuse green, before dissolving into crystalline turquoise and aqua at the upper reaches. Smith's layered media technique creates extraordinary atmospheric effects—the initial acrylic layers establish the colour foundation, while subsequent oil applications blend and soften transitions with remarkable fluidity. The final application of cold beeswax creates a translucent quality that suggests both water and air, giving the entire surface a shifting, ephemeral quality. Circular ripples and fluid gestures evoke water reflections or atmospheric disturbances throughout the canvas. At the same time, areas of heavier impasto suggest organic forms—perhaps foliage catching light or clouds forming and dissolving. The interplay between warm and cool passages creates a sense of gentle movement, as if capturing the precise moment when one atmospheric condition transforms into another. Delicate drips and spontaneous marks add to understanding natural forces at work, while Smith's controlled colour harmonies maintain a dreamlike cohesion throughout the composition.
