RSW's Diary Comments

"1937 or 8. Painted from Mrs. Buell's Hill House of red maple in pasture against the S.F. Tower Mountain."

A Google Maps screen capture of the area.

Editor's Note:

When we can, we are now adding these topography screen captures of the the area when we know the location. The Buell's and Elinor lived on Goodnow Road. Goodnow Hill is next to Crittenden Hill on the eastern side of Buckland just above the Shelburne Falls area and looking across the vally from the Buell place you can see the western face of Bald Mountain where the Fire Tower sits. The views of the valley where the Deerfield River cuts through Shelburne Falls from Crittenden and Goodnow hills is amazing.

We would love to locate this painting to see the colors Woodward incorporated but from where it exhibited, we know he thought very highly of this painting.
