	Leslie Smith's art concentrates upon formal gardens, both real and imaginary. A meticulous craftsman, he states, "I aim to take a snapshot in time, in which everything is ordered in a vaguely surreal atmosphere enhanced by the conspicuous absence of people." *
	Leslie Smith's first silkscreens, Sheffield Park Garden in Autumn and Stourhead in Winter, were created by the artist in the mid 1990's. Each print contained over twenty separate colour printings. This striking rendition, entitled Het Loo, contains at least that amount of precise colour registrations. It depicts the famous gardens of the Dutch Royal Palace. Started by Prince William of Orange in the 1680's, the gardens of Het Loo represent the finest elements of Baroque garden art.
	Het Loo is a spectacular example of Leslie Smith's silkscreen art. Combining multiple colour printings he portrays a beautifully sculpted landscape with precision and clarity. This is one of the most amazing works of contemporary art one will see.
