CAPE SUNSET is the title of this oil painting on paper by Massachusetts artist Bruce Wood. Created in 2012, it depicts a dune path bathed in soft light from a hazy sunset. The image is inspired by the 19th Century Impressionist and Tonalist painters, but invigorated by Wood's training as a contemporary artist. The 8.5" x 12.5" image is on heavy rag paper. It is archivally matted and framed in a custom-made gold-metal leafed wooden frame measuring 17.5"x 21.5". 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. Item ID: BW933
