WILMINGTON — Bartleby's Books will show the paintings of Tim Wood in the upstairs gallery during the months of November and December.
Wood is a self-taught water media artist from southern Vermont. His work focuses on capturing the New England landscape, highlighting the history and passage of time present in his subjects. This is particularly evident in his coastal New England pieces, where he prefers to paint the battered North Atlantic fishing fleet.
“There are plenty of artists that are really great at painting sailboats, but I see a work ethic and a sense of history when I view these old working boats. That is what I try to bring to those paintings,” the artist said in a news release.
He also specializes in night scenes.
“I have always been fascinated by the variety of light and contrast present in a landscape set at night,” Wood says. “Artificial light adds an exciting element of color and contrast not often present in a daytime scene.”
