Original Oil Painting of Mt Hood Landscape with Cattle by Alexander M Wood

He was born in Scotland in 1849. He died in 1925. In California, he became a close friend of painter Astley David Cooper, and, excessive drinkers, they went on numerous painting, and carousing trips together.

He painted primarily Northern California Landscapes, including coastal scenes.

I have purchased part of his estate that has been in storage for over 40 years. The canvases are in surprisingly good condition, but they are very very dirty. They must be cleaned and conserved, and then framed. I will be adding others to my RL store as they become available.

Like ADM Copper, Wood would quickly paint something to sell, so that he could have drinking money. The result is that some of his work is not nearly as good as others. Fortunately, these paintings that I have purchased are the best that I have seen of his work. They must be from a time in his life when he was seriously painting.

While many of the paintings are unsigned, I absolutely guarantee that they are definitely his work.

This one is of Mt Hood with cattle grazing, and it is one of his unsigned works.

Sight is 37.5" x 14.5" With the frame it is 44.25" x 21.25"

It is in good condition, with no holes or repairs to the canvas.

It is a beautifully executed painting.
