Frank Vining Smith (1879-1967) Startled Ducks
signed "Frank Vining Smith" lower right
oil on board, 17 by 24 in.
< br> Born and raised in South Abington, Massachusetts, Frank Vining Smith grew up sailing and loved other New England outdoor pursuits as well. After graduating from high school, Smith attended the Boston School of the Museum of Fine Arts, where he studied under such notable artists as American Impressionist Frank W. Benson (1862-1951), Phillip L. Hale (1865-1931), and Edmund C. Tarbell (1862-1938). After graduating he worked as an illustrator for several newspapers in New York City and Boston, in addition to painting covers for national publications such as "National Sportsman."
After working as a staff artist for the "Boston Herald" for nearly fifteen years, Smith quit his post to focus on his painting career. He was ultimately rewarded with several one-man shows across the United States and a painting career spanning four decades.
