RSW's Diary Comments

“Painted in 1945. My oft-painted little east (easel) window painted in the spring with apple trees in bloom, pink geranium in yellow pot, violets, lavender bottle, yellow glass hat, etc. on shelf, and edge of canvas showing in canvas corner. Bought in summer of 1945 by Mrs. R. R. Smith, 75 Elm St. Gardner, Mass.”
