Robert William Wood
Robert William Wood (1889–1979) is often considered to be among America’s most prolific artists because of the extraordinary number of landscapes he painted of the country’s greatest natural treasures — scenes as diverse as the California coast, the Rocky Mountains and springtime in the Texas bluebonnets. The gifted painter worked for nearly 60 years, often completing one painting a day.
Today, Robert Wood paintings are very popular for those seeking to bring luminous landscapes into their homes.
Wood was born in Kent, England, and emigrated in 1910 to the United States, where he spent his whole career. He was fond of plein air painting, which refers to the practice of painting outdoors, and when Wood moved to California from Texas in 1941, the last of the painters associated with the California Plein-Air School were still exhibiting but the popularity of the movement was dwindling. Wood’s paintings contain a great deal of detail and delicacy, but toward the end of his career in the mid-1950s, the artist began painting in a more Impressionistic style, with looser, bolder brushstrokes.
The critically acclaimed art movements that arose during Wood’s lifetime — Abstract Expressionism and Pop art among them — were far removed from the kind of traditional art that Wood practiced, and he did not seek to promote himself. But despite the artist’s lack of critical success, Wood was immensely popular and became a household name. Millions of color reproductions of his paintings, which have been praised for their depictions of natural light and enchanting use of color, have been sold over the years and can be found in homes all over the United States.

- I Came to Where the Lone Pilgrim Lay, River Landscape Oil on Canvas, Western ArtBy Michael Ome UntiedtLocated in Whitefish, MTI Came to Where the Lone Pilgrim Lay by Michael Ome Untiedt Oil on Canvas, 36" x 48", 43" x 55" (framed), hanging hardware included. From the artist: "In Memory of Tom Horn: This is another of my feeble attempts to break down, to rage against the tyranny of time. I have fought this battle for a half century, yet my limbs grow slower, my hair more moon-bleached. I ponder as I apply brush strokes to the canvas, what thoughts pass through the viewer of this work a hundred years hence, two hundred years later? Will they know what I carry in my heart today? Am I on a great mandala of life, and will I return one day to this same experience, or am I adrift on a great "river" flowing endlessly through the Cosmos, heeding shoal water and seeking shoreline that is forever changing? A dear friend passed this week from the plague scourging our fair land. When and where will I hear his sweet self deprecating laughter again?" Born and raised in rural southeastern Colorado, Michael Ome Untiedt maintains a studio in Denver. Traveling extensively, he is known as a painter of the world who sees with a westerner’s eye. Through the color, brush strokes, and symbolic subject matter of his paintings, he attempts to examine the human predicament and its connections to the landscape and history of the American West. He is driven to portray twenty-first-century psychology on a nineteenth-century saddle! Untiedt has participated in numerous shows including the Western Masters Art Show and Sale, Settler’s West Miniatures Show and Art of the American West...Category
