RSW's Diary Comments
"Painted in fall of 1932. A large painting (with a few grazing sheep in it) made from the same place, Gilbert Griswold's Orcutt Hill Pasture as the Autumn Flame of Mrs. Winfred Rhoades (Edith Storer). Bought by Mr. and Mrs. Clifford R. Richmond, the summer of my fire, of 37 Park Street, Easthampton, Mass."
Additional Notes
Richmond was a close friend of Woodward's. The fire he is refering to is RSW's 1934
Hiram Woodward Home & Studio fire. Richmond owned the COLTON ELASTIC WEB COMPANY
which produced a weekly radio broadcast. Sometime after the fire, Richmond, featured Woodward's story in the radio broadcast.
Sold at auction in Northampton, Massachusetts for $3,250 on 2/19/96 to an unknown buyer.
