He became a member of the National Academy of Design in 1882, and in 1892 became Secretary. He painted both in oils and in watercolor. He spent most of his professional life in New York City, but he and his brother, James David Smillie, traveled West to the Rocky Mountains and Yosemite Valley in 1870. Two years later, he went to Europe, which resulted in a more forceful style and lightened palette. He also traveled in the Adirondacks and the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Late in his career, he adopted the Impressionist style. Smillie exhibited at most of the well-known academies and fine art clubs and is well represented in major museums and collections nation-wide.Provenance:Cutler Bay AuctionsWhite Mountain Museum & GalleryBuyer is responsible for arranging for shipping and payment for shipping.
