RSW's Diary Comments

None.

Comments on the back of a sepia print:

"This is the Autumn canvas we mentioned. Tawny yellows and red-browns, pale yellow grasses in foreground, considerable blue in pasture rocks, deep blue mountains and sky spaces. Touch of bluish-green in small pines. Clouds pearly white with violet tones. Overall effect subdued rather than brilliant."

An important aspect of Woodward's connection and love for the Burnt Hill pasture are the colors of the ground cover that gave it its name. For Woodward, a romantic at heart, it is poetic, thus beautiful. Fire, radiance, and light all play important symbolic roles in the artist faith and life.
