• Woodward did not keep records of the pastels he called "chalk drawings."
The image to the right is a summer scene of Woodward's favorite and most painted subject on the Keach Farm
property. He called it the "the little red barn," and he painted it as a primary subject at least three time and
it was the backdrop to a series of paintings featuring the Greening (Apple)
tree on the other side of the driveway that cuts through the center of the farm... pretty much right next to
where Woodward sat to make Summer Barns.
The 'barn" itself is not just one barn. It is a group
of individual three barns at the top of and rear of a number of buildings also called barns by Woodward in the
painting, The Three Barns, which also just so happen to exhibit at the
same 1944 Myles Standish show.
