Featured Artwork: Unnamed #06, A Country Path

RSW's Diary Comments

As unfinished, Woodward would not have written or commented in his artwork diary. All the works of art were framed for their preservation in 2017.


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

This painting most closely resembles the chalk drawing, Unnamed #43. The path looks similar and has birch trees on each side of the path. The seasons are different, this piece looking more summer and the other late fall.



Additional Notes

This incomplete artwork was found in a forgotten shipping crate stored in an attic, as seen below, along with twenty other pieces. The crate is in excellent condition and is a wonderful example of how RSW shipped his paintings about the country to exhibit in various shows.
