Regarding the
Chalk Drawings
The following is an excerpt from, "An Artist of his Time", a lecture, hosted by the Friends of RSW, on RSW by Peter Trippi, editor-in-chief, Fine Art Connoisseur Magazine, which also did a feature article on RSW. CLICK HERE to view the Article
"...the pastel works - they're just fantastic. And I'm afraid that they photograph very well but you don't really appreciate the difficulty of making them until you see them up close. That as you know with pastel, you have to be very very good to make it work, because it hard to correct a mistake. With oil paint it's much easier to cover over the error. But these are really really spectacular."

Additional Notes
This chalk drawing was made of the old abandoned cemetery at the top of Hog Hollow Road in Upper Buckland
God's Quiet Acre receives glowing praise from critic...
The Pynchon Gallery Exhibition is one of the few
exhibitions that featured Woodward's "Crayon Drawings." As many as 13 were reported to be exhibited and this website is not aware of
any exhibit that featured more than this number. The Deerfield Academy, 1932 Exhibition featured 10
drawings.
