 "In the Jelly Jar" by Thomas Waterman Wood on View
Picture
In 2020 the T.W. Wood Gallery was pleased to announce the acquisition of In the Jelly Jar, an original painting by Thomas Waterman Wood. With the help of Trustee John Landy, the gallery purchased this lovely genre painting by T.W. Wood. In the Jelly Jar was painted in 1880 and is an excellent example of Thomas Waterman Wood's genre painting. This painting adds to the galleries collection of Wood's work and continues the mission of the Trustees to preserve the legacy and art of Thomas Waterman Wood in Montpelier.
