Buddies is the title of this acrylic painting on canvas by art conservator Bruce Wood. Created in 2010, the image is inspired by the 19th Century Impressionist painters, but invigorated by Wood's training as a contemporary artist. The thick, heavily-textured paint(Impasto)shows the expressive brush strokes and interesting color-play which is a hallmark of Wood's work. The painting is varnished with a non-yellowing gloss varnish. The 6" x 8" canvas is laid down on a gator foam board and framed in a new custom-made black-and-gold 9" x 11" frame. 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). He is founder of the fine art printmaking atelier AFA Press in Lakeside, Michigan, and the former Fenway Galleries in Chicago and Lakeside, Michigan. 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.
