Paintings Of Robert Wood And Red Skelton

By Darren Hartley


Robert Wood paintings consisted of landscape paintings of California, the Rocky Mountains and Texas. Robert Wood reached his maturity as an artist in the late 1920s. It was during this period that came out with a prodigious output, completing one painting a day.

Original 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 usually printed on paper mounted on a cardboard rather than a canvas. They are sometimes glassed. While originals painted on canvas are left to breathe from behind, reproductions are, more often than not, sealed with a brown craft paper or cardboard at the back.

Red Skelton paintings are best known for their portrayal of smiling lovable clowns and world renowned characters, including Freddie the Freeloader, Clem Kodiddlehopper and Sheriff Deodeye. Red Skelton started his painting career at the early age of five, travelling with his mother throughout the Midwest for the Hagenbach and Wallace Circuses.

There are also Red Skelton paintings in existence that created beautiful still life and landscapes. Red began producing artwork in 1943, but kept his works private for many years. His inspiration for trying his hand at painting came from his visit of a Chicago department store displaying a variety of paintings.

Because they fetch as much as thousands of dollars, Red Skelton paintings have proven to be sound investments. Their being intensely moving creations offering a whimsical feeling of brightness and cheerfulness have been recognized as delights both for collectors and critics.
