Additional Notes
Tranquil Hour
This painting shares similarities with 11 other paintings, and that they are all wintery scenes
with pools of water. We have identified four distinct scenes. These paintings were all painted early in Woodward's career from behind
his first studio, Redgate. It was not uncommon for Woodward to make multiple versions of paintings that were either successful in
selling quickly or held a particular sentimental value to him. After the 1930s, it was rare for Woodward to make multiple versions of
a painting unless by request or commission.
This painting shares, of sorts, a name with another wintery water scene simply named
Tranquil Hour. However, on the back of the stretcher of this piece, written in pencil was
"The Tranquil Hour." Despite being painted from the back of Redgate, both being wintry water scenes and sharing similar names the two
paintings are distinctly different. One is a large 24 x 36 landscape and the other a 25 x 30 upright. The water is different... The
snow is different and the trees are different
