Noteworthy:

There are three confirmed paintings named Evening Stream and a possibly of more. The two other confirmed paintings are very different in subject and size. Both are what we call "Winter Evening Stream" paintings and can be found in the Quntiessential Redgate painting gallery. From brush style and texture alone we know this is the oldest painting (pre-1922). What is unclear is if it exhibited because Woodward did not make a diary entry for this painting.

⮜ There is no record of this page's Evening Stream exhibiting and the other paintings have numerous records of exhibiting. We know it is not this page's painting because we have reviews and descriptions of the other paintings from the artist's own painting diary and newspaper clippings.

However, there is a possibility it exhibited in Stockbridge prior to his 1922 Regate fire. We do not have those records. Also, in 1921, Woodward sold a wholesale lot of six paintings to J.H. Miller Gallery and we only know the names of five. We would not be surprised if this was one of them.
