"Japanese Doll and Clock". Beautifully painted and expensively framed in a golden profile with canvas liner, this intimate still life oil painting by BC artist Grant Smith is a meditative work incorporating a Japanese doll and tea set.  Its tilted space and semi-loose brushwork is a nod to Modernism, while keeping the essentials of a realist painting. The painting is bright in tonality and strongly coloured.  See more of Grant Smith's paintings at www.grantsmithstudio.ca
