Artist/Painter
Wood not only advocated for the Native Americans, but he painted them. His love of painting generated numerous studies of landscapes and points of interest along the Oregon and California coastline. He also memorialized some of his favorite places in watercolor including Keats' grave and vistas from his home in Los Gatos, The Cats. His primary medium was watercolor/graphite. The Huntington Library and Museum has a good sampling of his artwork online at http://emuseum.huntington.org/view/objects/asimages/People$00402469?t:state:flow=aa12da2c-9c29-41a0-82b1-885ecc3412ee.
