Additional Notes
This piece is one of the earliest known works from the Heath Pasture. There is a chalk drawing of the same name
which was exhibited at the 1929 Pynchon Gallery Exhibition and is mentioned in the article to the right:
The "Bagg" family were big fans of Woodward. Beatrice is one of four sisters, all of which owned a Woodward. In fact, the sisters
all received a copy of a painting commissioned by their parents to be given as gifts. The painting, titled, Apple Bloosom
Time, is of a 'greening' apple tree in bloom from the Keach farm and can been viewed by clicking the link provided.
