Made the same year as Woodward's commission of Mr. Arkell's Picture Window.

RSW's Diary Comments
The artist did not keep records of his pastel paintings he called chalk drawings.
Additional Notes
We will assume this pastel was made from the Equinox Golf Club in Manchester, Vermont. For one thing, it was exhibited at the annual 1942 Southern Vermont Art Association (SVAA) show, where many of the summer guests golfed. This is also not the only painting made from the golf course. There is a painting of the Ninth Hole that once hung in the club's dining room and made an appearance at the 1970 Deerfield Academy's American Studies Group exhibit at the school's Hilson Gallery, as well as the commissioned painting Mr. Arkell's Picture Window, seen to the right coincidentally made the same year as this pastel.
