Iowa Cornfield 60.1013

In this late study, done out-of-doors, Wood paints the geometric forms of shocks of corn balanced against both the hedgerow and the autumn trees. Wood has also used a cross-hatching technique in the deeper shadows of the hedgerow and in his brushwork on the fields and shocks of corn, a technique he used in some of his other paintings.

Iowa Landscape 65.0007

This is the sketch that is believed to be Wood's last. Instead of adding texture to the paint with the cross-hatching technique used in Iowa Cornfield, Wood has inscribed marks into the trees and hedges, a technique used in the study for Stone City, Iowa. In this painting Wood seems to be moving towards an even more flattened landscape and abstract foreground.
