Wilson was in the midst of practice with his Cape Cod Baseball League team when he received the news. It was on Cape Cod where Wilson vaulted onto scouts’ radars with a standout 2006 summer in the wood-bat league, regarded as one of the nation’s premier proving grounds for collegiate talent...
...those reasons and for the endless ambiguities of his watercolors and canvases, he remains the 20th century Realist who still looks resolutely modern to us. And charming at the same time, though it's an irony that his paintings of old houses in Maine or on Cape Cod should strike us that way.
