Description

Robert Wood portrays a misty harbor in Washington state by employing a series of saturated watercolor brushstrokes, drawn upon dampened paper to produce a feathery effect. His depiction of fog in the distance using negative space is similar to Chinese silk paintings, creating an ethereal atmosphere. The viewer can breathe in the salty air and feel the cold damp of the Pacifc Northwest, peppered with the scent of pine trees, as it rises from the harbor’s surrounds.

Wood was born and raised in California and he often traveled throughout the west coast’s varied climate regions, his work reflecting their particular atmospheres, from desert to mountain to the sea.
