Paintings Of Robert Wood And Red Skelton

By Darren Hartley


Robert Wood paintings were known for their depiction of the California coast, the Rocky Mountain landscapes and the springtime flowering of the Texas Bluebonnets. It is purported that Robert Wood, most probable than not, painted more works on the United States landscape than any other artist in the annals of American art history.

Landscape Robert Wood paintings are among the most widely reproduced works in the history of art. They can be found in all fifty states as well as in many foreign countries. They are available from galleries, auctions, as an inheritance and over the internet.

Reproductions of Robert Wood paintings are printed on textured surfaces, purposely so to make it appear to be a painting for an amateurish eye. However, the texture being consistent throughout the image, does not follow the form as actual brush strokes do. The texture of these prints ranged from crow-foot to hen-scratch. The painting is printed on cardboard and not on canvas.

Known for their caricatures of smiling lovable clowns and world renowned characters, Red Skelton paintings can be found among the most prestigious and private of collections all over the world. Red Skelton perfected his painting talents over the years, now hugely recognized and acclaimed throughout the globe.

There are also still life and landscape works among Red Skelton paintings other than clowns and world famous characters. After drawing inspiration from a Chicago department store, Red began painting in 1943, keeping his work to himself. It was only in 1964 when he was persuaded to do a public exhibition of his work in Las Vegas.

Red Skelton paintings are sound investments in art as they are recognized as collector's delights. The value of these artworks has been proven alongside other contemporary artists with a worth that is limitless. They are intensely moving creations that earned for Red, the Footprints in the Sands of Time award, one of the highest honors an artist can receive.
