Tower Court, Wellesley College, is the title of this expertly colored and highly textured acrylic painting by Massachusetts artist Bruce Wood. This painting won Second Place when it was exhibited at the Wellesley Society of Artists Annual Exhibition at the Wellesley Free Library in November, 2011. Judge Dianne Panarelli Miller wrote "Great use of texture and impressionistic colors. The correct use of color temperature holds this painting together." Wood's work is inspired by the the 19th Century American Impressionists. However, the scene is invigorated by his training as a contemporary artist. The 20" x 24" image is on stretched canvas. It is framed in a traditional plein air styled gold-metal leafed wooden frame measuring 27"x31". 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, Wellesley Society of Artists 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.
