A Touch of Spring

Spring is rapidly approaching and this big, bold, and beautiful limited edition artwork featuring a lovely lady carrying an enormous colorful bouquet of full festive flowers certainly speaks of the coming season.  



 Entitled "Laura's Bouquet," this impressive piece is signed in pencil by the artist Barbara A. Wood and is numbered 58 out of a limited edition of 250. 



Born in 1926 in Ohio, Barbara A. Wood studied at the Art Students’ League in New York. After she married and moved to California, she enrolled in the postgraduate studies at the Otis Art Institute and the Pasadena School of Fine Arts. Wood is known for her modernist portraits, typically of women. Her stylized figures and bold use of colors recall artists such as Matisse and Marc Chagall. Wood's work has been shown worldwide and is part of many private collections. Her art is found among the collections of many famous figures, including George H. W. Bush, Elizabeth Taylor, Jane Seymour, Ron Howard, Dick Van Dyke, Dennis Weaver, Art Linkletter, and Jerry Lewis.
