RSW's Diary Comments

"Painted in 1945. Putts Hill with valley and tangled trees against it, all in the reds, yellows and oranges of the full height of October color, painted from up on Orcutt Hill Road, beyond Packard place. Brilliant, but atmospheric autumn."


Additional Notes

One of Woodward's more interesting choice of locations. It seems as if he intentionally is illustrating the natural profusion of growth and direction among the grooves and ruts of the sloping hill.

this note was written. It is worth noting that
Williams did have Woodward's painting diary.
It was left to him by RSW after his death.
