RSW's Diary Comments

“Painted in 1935. A large one of my north window at the Buckland studio. Exhibited with high praise, quite generally when Harold Grieve and his wife called here in 1936. He had it sent west and early in 1937 it was sold to Mr. Norman Krasna of 627 North Rodeo Drive, Beverly Hills, California, he being a noted scenario writer doing things for, and a friend of Charley Chaplin, the Marx brothers, etc. It has been illustrated quite largely in magazines and periodicals as a splendid example of room decoration.”
