Lanesville Tide is the title of this oil painting by Massachusetts artist Bruce Wood. Created in 2012, the image is inspired by the the 19th Century American Impressionists. However, the scene is invigorated by Wood's training as a contemporary artist. Lanesville is a small harbor on Cape Ann, Massachusetts. It is named after the famous 19th Century marine painter Fitz Hugh Lane. Because it remains relatively unchanged over the past 200 years, the harbor continues to be a favorite subject for plein air painters. The 11" x 14"" image is on stretched canvas. It is framed in a custom-made gold-metal leafed wooden frame measuring 19" x 24". 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.
