Checkmate (2026) Original Mixed-media Painting by Terri Smith

Checkmate is a painting from the What Persists series of work. In this piece, an owl and a salamander are at a standoff, each creature with its biological advantages leaving it capable yet incapable. Nature is giving and unforgiving, yet it is unsentimental and life goes on no matter what choice one makes, so it is up to us all to make the right choices for ourselves.
