Featured Artwork: Unnamed: A New England Landscape

This is one of those quintessential New England scenes that fits into multiple catagories... roadside, tree, autumn, rock walls and ledge, a fence, a wood pile, with just a glimpse into a distant field and hills beyond. A classic New England landscape, thus the name ascribed to it by us.

It is hard to determine a time period to this painting. Upon examining the brush style used by Woodward, our guestimate would be sometime between 1928 and 1935. The reasoning is that while the paints are fairly blended and not heavily applied, there still appears to be some impressionistic strokes in the foreground. This is something you see in paintings painted during this time as RSW transitioned from a heavy impasto style to a finer, more delicate blending of colors.

We want to thank its owner for contacting us and providing us the picture.
