Smallwood<\/a>\u00a0is known for his signature watercolor paintings\u00a0<em>Lifescapes<\/em>, a powerful form of portraiture and visual narrative.\u00a0 In these works, Smallwood portrays the subject within his or her natural environment, carefully manipulated to evoke an emotional connection with the viewer.\u00a0 Through composition, line, form, and finely finished surfaces, P. Smallwood creates compelling portraits that convey a feeling about how the subjects live their lives.<\/p>\n<p>Smallwood has an artists\u2019 agenda.\u00a0 The ability to engage the viewer to pause, take note, and connect with the subject\u2019s emotional experience of life is powerful and deliberate.\u00a0 The focus of his work is for viewers to experience the common thread of emotions, aspirations, and desires of the people he paints from rural America to the streets of the urban inner city.\u00a0 They are faces many viewers typically do not bother to notice, or skim over as unimportant.\u00a0 Smallwood\u2019s\u00a0<em>Lifescapes<\/em>\u00a0put them center stage.\u00a0 He holds them up and honors them.<\/p>\n<p>As a primarily self-taught artist, the process by which he creates\u00a0<em>Lifescapes<\/em>\u00a0is intuitive and exploratory.\u00a0 Artworks are born from his own intrinsic observations rather than from any particular artistic school.\u00a0 His artistic vision is unique, specific and intentional.\u00a0 His work is highly drafted and finely finished.<\/p>\n<p>Smallwood is striving for the seamless surface of a constructed realism.\u00a0 His subjects are tightly drafted with keen attention to perspective, form and how the light spectrum falls on the subject to tell the visual story.\u00a0 These elements are most apparent in his subject\u2019s skin tone, which has a smooth finish that reflects his fascination with both figure drawing and watercolor painting.<\/p>\n<p>As a part of his continually developing repertoire, Smallwood is currently at work on still life paintings and large-scale landscapes.\u00a0 As a representational painter, the artist feels it is important to be able to navigate the full spectrum of images, affectionately referred to as \u201cthe places and the things.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2014 Dr. Louis A.
