RSW's Diary Comments

• Woodward did not keep records of the pastels he called "chalk drawings."


Editor's Note:

This pastel has gone inexplicably unnoticed for decades, going back to the original website and we are not sure how. But look at how often it exhibited, not only that, but where it exhibited... Stockbridge, Tryon, Mt. Holyoke, Macbeth, Mass Mutual, and Pittsfield. Not all of Woodward's paintings, particularly pastels, has a résumé like this! The fact it exhibited so frequently makes this even more baffling but the fact of the matter is that Dr. Mark was in his 80s when first building the website.


Additional Notes

We do not know the subject of the pastel but we suspect that it might have had a pond in it which goes with the pastel above (The Mass Mutual listing called it "At Manchester Pond" which we believe to be an error). All of this said, anything relating to Manchester, Vermont itself typically has some view of Mount Equinox in it. Visit our theme gallery, Only in Vermont for more...
