Robert E. Smith paints everything. He paints images from his life: things he sees on television, reads in books, and people he meets on the street. He paints on everything: canvas, sides of buildings, cardboard, even an old missile. And painting isn’t his only form of expression. He is also a self-published author, writing stories such as “Absent Minded Artist ‘Holy Cow, I Forgot My Easel Board’ Jeffrey Speaks” and printing them at the local color copy shop. His filled-space art is joyous, colorful, and full of action—much like the artist, who rides his bike around Springfield, Missouri, singing and whistling.
