Woodward did not include chalk drawings in his painting diaries.
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.
