RSW's Diary Comments

The name in RSW's handwritting

RSW's signature in lower right corner

None, RSW did not include chalk drawings in his artwork diaries.

This drawing was brought to our attention through a friend-of-a-friend situation. We are most grateful for their kindness in sharing it with us. We hope to get a better picture of it sometime in the near future.

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 don't 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."
