RSW's Diary Comments

Painted about 1940. A long flat winter still-life arranged on the studio north window shelf, the snowy faint winter landscape showing through the window itself at the left hand side (gray curtains at the windows instead of the accustomed red), at the far right the frame and edge of a canvas showing in my display corner; on the shelf in between is grouped the still life of a tin pan of hickory and butternuts (with nutcracker on the shelf) my owl Majolica pitcher holding dried beech leaves, a bird's nest on a branch, a small dark blue glass vase with a pink paper inside it etc. etc.."
