Traveling frequently to research his subjects in their natural habitat, Smith believes there is no substitute for personal experience in the field. Having had a lifetime fascination with Africa, he spends two or three weeks a year, allowing the artistic inspiration surround him. "My African paintings are more agressive," Smith says of "Fatal Attraction" which features an African leopard on the rim of Tanzania's 10-mile wide volcanic Ngorongoro Crater.

"What I love abut this combination is the way that the exaggerated depth within a short focal range adds contrast to the light and texture of both the leopard and its misty, moody background."
