I use layers of texture and I build my colors for vibrancy. My mixed media and ‘relief’ paintings display a variety of insights across varying themes.

#IPAINT MARTY SMITH SOFTWARE#
I was born in San Francisco and eventually found my way to Houston about 4 years ago via Oregon and Santa Fe, NM. Marty leads the KPA operations team that includes client success, field consulting, software implementation and support services. I go out every week and paint the city I live in, It is my honest response to what I call the Beautiful Ugly that is Houston a place built in a swampy mosquito-infested marshland designed based more on greed happen chance than esthetics. My style is based on the plein air approach of painting from direct observation much like Cezanne approached his subject matter. I was influenced by a professor that said art started and ended with Cezanne.

The subject matter, although always changing, is often the confluence of what I love about Houston it’s buildings, bayous, highways, tree-lined streets and lush parks and gardens. I take my French easel out into the city I call home, Houston TX. My paintings are based on direct observation.
