Robert Wood (Signed G. Day) (1889 - 1979), Hill Country Landscape, oil on canvas, 22 x 32 in. canvas size

A painter of realistic landscapes reflecting a vanishing wilderness in America, Wood traveled extensively all over the United States, especially in the West, often in freight cars, and also painted in Mexico and Canada. In the late 1920s and early 1930s, he lived in San Antonio, Texas. He gained a national reputation for his strong colored, dramatic paintings. Wood also gave art lessons, and one of his students was Porfirio Salinas. From 1924 to 1940 Robert Wood also signed his paintings Trebor (Robert backwards) and G. Day (Good Day). He only used these signatures during these years and there is conflicting information as to why.
