Painting of a window outside the old studio on Woodward Road, Buckland, Mass. |

Diary Comments:
“Painted about 1932. This has in the past been titled both Under
the Studio Window and Under the Study Window. The outside of the old
studio window (that burnt) done the last fall before the fire, geraniums and
camphor geranium in the fore ground while through the window glass itself
one sees an inside shelf geranium, through the room a suggestion of looking
out the north window across the room. An outside corner of the old studio,
where it jutted out to the south and west, a very decorative and much liked
canvas, but never sold, possibly because of its size, an upright 30 x 36. Very rich and gay in color, a great favorite when shown in my studio but it
is a 30 x 36 NOT 25 x 30. It is a painting of which I am proud.”
Notes:
Christian Science Monitor, Oct. 11, 1932
"There is more gaiety in the red geraniums massed so happily
Under the Studio Window......".
Republican, by Margaret C. Whiting,
Deerfield, May 30, 1932
"...the lovely canvas called Under the Study Window,
where the sunlight of out-of-doors is subtly contrasted with the indoor
shadows seen through the window of the house."
Selected by Mr. Edward Pettis as his Legacy Choice, September 8, 1957.

."Under the Study Window
is a beautiful bit of a flower garden up against a house-full of sunlight, of rich color and delicate greens."
Boston Transcript, Oct. 1932
"Decorative, although harder, is the gay, patterning flower
garden that blooms, Under the Study Window."
"..... Is original in design, boldly laid in and rich in color."
