Additional Notes

A close up of the name from the lower left corner.

This chalk drawing came to us by way of its current owner who graciously lent it to the Friends of RSW sponsered "Twenty Treasures" Exhibition of Robert Strong Woodward held at the Pocumtuck Valley Memorial Association's Memorial Hall Museum from September 22nd to October 31st, 2018. While this chalk is mainly about the big sky above this beautiful scene, there is evidence it was the victim of the mold problem the plagued a number of other chalks not properly stored in a dry place.

A closer look at the horizons of the road, shed, barn and house and the distant hills
A closer look at the barn with a woman guiding
a couple of horses and clothing hanging to dry
on the clothes line in the front
A closer look at the "L" shaped house
with its white columns in the front
and are those headstones in the rear?
