Karl E. Wood painting value?

Question

Does anyone know the value of any paintings by Karl E. Wood? I have one but can't find a value for any of his paintings. I know his work is considered "fine art" and is renown in Canada.

Answer 1

Karl E. Wood [1944-1990] was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba. After living in various places including North Vancouver and Westbank, BC, Karl and his family moved to the Ghost River region northwest of Cochrane, Alberta in 1984. Mainly a self taught artist, Karl's early inspiration was due naturally to his father, artist Robert E. Wood. In 1962 he studied with Allan W. Edwards, an internationally renowned artist and designer. He was also encouraged and helped by Egbert Oudendag, especially in the difficult art of painting outdoors. Like the mountains he captured on canvas, there was a uniqueness to western landscape artist Karl Wood. He was highly motivated and saw his paintings as both a challenge and a personal pleasure. He worked mainly in oils, and in a traditional manner. He shunned minute detail in his work. Rather, a preference for broader and looser brushstrokes is evident.
