Tom Wood worked as a Canadian War artist in WWII. 

This looks like it was painted from Major Hill Park, behind the Chateau Laurier,  looking towards Dufferin Bridge and Confideraton Square with the Cenotaph, hidden by trees. 

It may have been a site sketch, but not one section of the bridge appears lower than the one next to it - this is not the case with the actual bridge.

I find this a very light airy work. His trees are treated very simply. You can sense the under sketch of the work. The most intense colour is the blue- violet of the house. 

The individual brush strokes are in greater quantity in this wok than in the one above, in which he uses more washes. 

Since we have no dates it's hard to tell which direction his style was taking, but my guess it that this is a stylistically earlier work.

Another local artist whose work has been neglected. He provides an interesting style contrast to the others. It has  a very  calm unchanging atmosphere about it.
