Diary Comments:
Painted before 1929. This was one of several I made for Mrs. Wm.
H. Moore when she agreed to own one of my
paintings, although she eventually bought Road Guardians from Conway
Road. Painted on Town Farm Hill in
Buckland just below old town farm. Upright."
Comments on the back of a sepia print:
"Bright yellow-green, with dark bronzy-green for hemlocks, and
foreground, rose-color."
"Exhibited at the Myles Standish Galleries, Boston,
Mass."
Notes:Boston Globe,
May, 1929, by A. J. Philpott.
"....May Woods is charming in its color and luminosity--and in its
whole character."
In 2007 this painting underwent restoration at Williamstown
and now hangs in a local home.
