This heavily textured oil on canvas landscape was painted on location in Clucas Field, a land preserve in Old Lyme, Connecticut. In the tradition of the founders of the Old Lyme art colony, Bruce Wood and some other members of the Lyme Art Association spent a spring day painting local woodlands and fields. This painting, titled The Island, was exhibited shortly after its creation in 2012 at the Lyman Allen Art Museum in New London, CT, and also at the Lyme Art Association. Note: This painting was created on the same day as In The Field by Robin Wessman (RubyLane item # RW-9 ) The artists are both members of the Lyme Art Association and were painting together. It is interesting to compare the two paintings! The canvas measures approximately 13" x 18", and is installed in a frame which has been custom painted by the artist. The frame size is 22.5" x 27" Bruce Wood is a painter of New England marine and countryside scenes. As a teen, Wood learned plain air landscape painting in Gloucester, Massachusetts, where he studied with Emile Gruppe and a variety of Cape Ann marine painters. He went on to formal art training at Massachusetts College of Art (BFA), and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (MFA). Currently he is the oil painting conservator and director of the Woodshed Gallery in Franklin, Massachusetts, and an active member of the Lyme Art Association, Cape Cod Art Association, and several other New England art associations. Bruce Wood's prints and paintings are in the collections of the Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris, the University of Alabama, and the Rockford Art Museum in Illinois.
