We have a proof from the printer! It has been approved and so we offer you this quick preview of the calendar below ⮟
This year's calendar has 10 never-before-used paintings. There are 7 oils and 5 pastels each ideally representing
their month and its theme is RSW's appreciation for music. This year's calendar is as broad a spectrum of Woodward's
favorite subjects we have ever published. Trees lead the bunch with 5 featured prominently includ-ing an apple tree
in bloom, a maple with red buckets, the beech tree in Heath, and an elm in old Deerfield. There are three houses,
one farm, and perhaps Wood-ward's finest window picture paint-ings interiors. There are two feat-ured mountains,
Purinton Hill in Buckland with the Deerfield River in the foreground, and Mt. Equinox in Manchester, VT and finally
four high pastures over-looking rolling hill in its distance.
For availability continue below ⮟
The 2026, New England Song, calendars will have a soft launch exclusively at the Buckland Hist-orical Society's annual Colonial Day event held every year the Sunday of Columbus Day week-end filled with wonderful demon-strations on spinning yarn and cross stitching, cider pressing, and open hearth cooking. Larch and I will be there so come say "hi!"
After the Columbus Day week-end event the calendars will become
available online and locally at its usual locations. Check back for more later.
Hadley Printing in Holyoke, MA, has been making
the BHS/Woodward calendars for what has to be about a decade now and we have never shown our appreciation to their high
quality and dedicated work. The entire staff is kind and generous with their time and expertise. They go that extra mile,
willing to wait for us past their normal hours when we can't get there sooner and help us load the boxes into the car!
New York Herald Art Critic, Royal Cortissoz
The New York Herald, March 8, 1942
Welcome to RobertStrongWoodward.com! The website is divided into two main
features. First is the Gallery of Woodward's artwork sorted in themes and
then alphabetically. There is also the Scrapbook which contains collections
of stories, memorabilia and specific citations related to Woodward, his life and achievements. It is at once a tribute
and historical record of Woodward and the life and times from which he drew his inspiration.
Not only known for his landscape paintings, Woodward had a pas-sion for the restoration and preservation of ageing buildings. In his life as a professional artist, he took an unused old diary shed and converted it to his first studio, Redgate. He then purchased an abandoned farm, the old Hiram Woodward Place, and restored it to a show piece of old New England. He then purchased an old mill (Boehmer's Mill) nearby and returned it to its former glory. After a tragic fire burned Hiram in 1934, he purchased another abandon farm, the Southwick Place featuring its early 19th century blacksmith shop into a model of New England tradition that appears today as it did when he lived there... His studios are a reflection of his values.
The artwork galleries consist of nearly a thousand known works of art
created by Wood-ward. We have some form of an image for approximately 75% of them! The galleries are organized in
two ways. The first is the "Theme Gallery," sorted into 37 categories. The second is alphabetical, making up 8
separate galleries plus a gallery of artwork RSW didn't name or we do not have a name for at this time. Plus,
visit our Complete Works List and surf the website from there!
In addition to the artwork, when available, we provide additional notes and background related to the artwork,
as well as, links to related paintings or locations for a richer experience and connection to the area.
The Recollections Scrapbook is a collect-ion of personal ac-counts from people who either knew Wood-ward personally or related to us an experi-ence they have had related to Woodward. A number of the stories told come from this website's originator, Mark Purinton (seen in picture to the left with Woodward), who started working for Woodward as a boy.
This is our "story behind the paintings" collection. It includes some of Wood-ward's favorite subjects, such as, his neighbor Herbert Keach's Farm, the Halifax (VT) House and the North Window of his Southwick studio. There is also Charlemont Bridge artwork before the bridge was destroyed in the hurricane of 1938 and Marlboro Church, part of a "church series" Woodward was commissioned for by industrialist Francis P. Garvin before his death.

OUR CURRENT PROJECT MISSION: |
UPDATE: October 01, 2025 BCM |
October, 2025
KEY UPDATES Invitation This painting made in 1942 was sold in New York, but ended up in Boston. It went missing briefly, and found again a couple months before RSW's death. It was one of the artist most praised canvases when hung at one of his most popular exhibits. For as much as we do know, there is much more we do not. Open Doors A painting of the same subject as Invitation (above), was painted for his friend Clifford Rich-mond to present to the Easthampton (MA) Public Library where it still hangs today. We've added new color pictures taken of the scene in its day. |

October, 2025
NEW PICS Grey Heights When have said it many times before that we will always try to get a better picture of a painting when the opportunity presents itself. Despite having updating the pic of this painting 10 months ago. It hung at the Colrain Hist-orical Society's annual art exhibit and we had excel-lent light and took more! Also, the event was out-standing. Be sure to catch it next year. Out of The Forest The pictures we were using of this painting were long over due for a re-fresh. It is a large painting and old and difficult to take down from the wall... But it was worth it to see the difference between 20 year old pics and today.Check it out! |
October, 2025
NEW UPDATES Orchard Window Every painting has a story. Besides its subject, it has its journey. Like the canvas, Invitation,
it hung at the well reviewed 1942 New York City exhibition, which happens to have become a story in its own
right. |
October, 2025
NEW UPDATES Old Heights Using newspaper descriptions of this painting from the Boston papers we have a theory as to the subject of this painting we have no picture of and we offer you those options. A pastel, it reportedly hung at the 1930 Tercentennial Exhibition along with New England Drama. Some-thing we were completely unaware prior. We have added it to our exhibit records. It also exhibited the first six months of the crazy year 1931, the theme of last months updates. (below ) On The Waterfront This page has been updated as part of our audit. It is worth a visit if you want to see something out of ordinary for Woodward. |
October, 2025
NEW UPDATES On The Road to Halifax, Vermont Here is another example of using what we know to link a painting title to a similar subject. This painting went to RSW's patron-saint, Mrs. Ada Moore's sister in California. We have added pictures and some background information. On to the Winter Porch New information on the year this painting was made makes it one of the earliest Window Picture Paintings made in the Southwick studio. Woodward did not start painting these types of paintings with regularity until after 1937. It is once again, one of the main reasons we are doing this audit of the artwork pages. |
Sept., 2025
NEW FINDING September Evening As part of our invest-igation into The Little Farmhouse and Portrait of a Shadow conflict
we were able to identify, from newspaper descriptions, this previously unnamed painting in our collection as
September Evening. |
A LINE GRAPH OF THE TOTAL NUMBER SPOTS "PAINTINGS" FILLED FROM 1930 TO 1947![]() The line graph above needs some explanation. The numbers are how many exhibit spots
his paintings filled throughout the year, and NOT the total number of paintings. For example, as we explain
above, Woodward had 89 total paintings circulating in the first six months of 1931 and those paintings filled
137 opens spots on walls in the numerous shows he was committed to and for the whole year he topped more than
250 spots in all.

Sept., 2025
NEW PICS The Leaping Brook We have previously talked about our new method of photographing paintings, especially hard to capture paintings like the pastels. Here is a new picture of this outstanding painting. Early Sugaring (1920) Our new method of taking pictures of paintings helps cut down glare and gives a truer depiction of the colors Woodward used. Check out the reds, blues, and purples of this beauty! |
Sept., 2025
BIG UPDATE White Clouds Our other major discov-ery in our investigation of the 1931 Myles Standish exhibit produced the identification of this paint-ing. It started with a recognizable pattern in a terrible picture and led to confirmation via news-paper descriptions. MORE ⮟ May Clouds This is the new name of a previously unnamed painting. We are always happy to have a name for a painting. This canvas was critical in helping us determine the above painting's subject. |
Sept., 2025
BIGGER UPDATE The Little Farmhouse From the earliest days of the website, it was believed that the name above was the original name of Portrait of a Shadow. The confusion originated when a picture of, Portrait of a Shadow, was incorrectly caption in the Boston Globe. How-ever, RSW himself made matters worse with a story he told two critics... MORE ⮟ Portrait of a Shadow This is RSW's "most loved" canvas. It was important to him in many ways. We tell its whole story... |
Sept., 2025
NEW AUDITS The following are highlights of our recently audited pages: October Pageant (1923) Confusion over this painting, its name and its year has been cleared up with the discovery of a clipping. The Old Barn We add ANOTHER painting to the seven others made of the Keach's Little Red Barn interior! October Gold we recently learned this highly honored painting has another feather. It was in the top ten most popular canvases of the 1930 "Boston Art Week" celebration exhibit. |
August, 2025
NEW PICS Waiting For Spring (Oil) As we refine of photo taking techniques and skills, we cannot resist the opportunity to get new pictures
when given the opportunity. Window picture paintings are especially hard because of the dark areas around
the windows tend to reflect light when there is too much. It is a delicate balance to make sure we get as
accurate an image as possible. |
August, 2025
NEW PICS When Corn Is Ripe A one of a kind pastel for Woodward, we have never captured it in a way that was satisfactory until now.
The new image is as true to what you see when standing in front of it as we have ever gotten... the reds,
greens, and yellows all holding there our place without dis-coloring each other. |
August, 2025
NEW PICS October (1919) Neither this painting or the one below are new pictures as it were. They both are old pictures newly rediscovered originals that we were able to apply our new editing techniques to get the best out of them. The image for this canvas is a huge improvement on the previous. October in Dorset Again, this is an old-new picture we found misplaced in the wrong folder. The original image being more than 20 years old was small and not great in the first placed was made better by us than what we had. We also found a very similar picture of the mountain in the artwork to match up the two. |
Aug., 2025
NEW ESSAY Winter Evening Stream Brian has been working on updating this original 2011 Painting Story essay on Woodward's Winter Evening Stream (WES) paintings by Dr. Mark for months. Need-less to say, it got quite out of hand. We have so much more information about these paintings than was available when Doc originally wrote it. There is now far more Brian than Doc, but it couldn't be helped... Doc was on to something really profound. He simply did not have all the information necessary to put it all together. In this essay you will learn how these 14 known canvas-es are critical mediations at transitional times in the artist life. |
Aug., 2025
UPDATES Our audit of the website's artwork pages continues. We are up to An October Pasture in the OPQR Gallery. Below, we select-ed a few outstanding pages worth another look... October (1926 - 29) A totally new page reflecting our realization there are 3 paintings by the single name "October." October Flame A rear view of Wood-ward's much loved maple in Mrs. Griswold's pasture for the pasture itself. October Pageant, 1923 A lot of confusion surrounding this painting's name has been sorted out and confirmed to be the 1923 canvas. |
July, 2025
ALL NEW STUFF New England Winter Not only did we get a new image, though still from a newspaper, it lead to dis-covering that this painting was also honored for a "prize in painting" at the 1929, Stockbridge Art Association's annual event. Digging deeper we realize this canvas needs to be placed among RSW's most editorial pieces. It hung at every major exhibit he had after 1930 and was bought by a serious collector, and Amherst alum. George Dupont Pratt Since we were straight-ening out New England Winter, we also updated its buyer, Mr. Pratt's profile page, adding new information and pictures. |
July, 2025
NEW PICS Early Moonlight This painting, recently exhibited at the Memorial Hall Museum in Deerfield (MA) has never had a good
image. For years these early dusk-time, dark wooded interiors, have perplexed us. RSW used a varnish to
pre-serve them and it darken-ed over time placing a seemingly impenetrable barrier over them. |
July, 2025
UPDATED My Winter Window Shelf This page has been updated, including updating the picture we already had using new editing methods for color correction and balancing. Along with these updates, we also updated the 2007 scrapbook story researc-hed and written by Janet Gerry. More on this below ⮟ My Winter Window Shelf: A Painting Story As hard as it may be to believe, this painting caused its share of trouble for RSW in the most amusing way... he couldn't wait to get rid of it! New layout and pic-tures added caption by Brian. |
July, 2025
UPDATED • My Winter Shelf • My Grandmother's Lamp • Near the Sky All three of the artwork pages above have been updated, not only with new information or updated old info... |
July, 2025
UPDATED Accolades & Awards The Accolades & Awards gallery needed to be up-dated after the discovery that New England Winter received an honor from Stockbridge in 1929. That now makes 20 canvases to get recognition at prestigious shows and events. Three of those painting were honored twice! Apples Gallery We missed a couple of paintings where apples, particularly where the tree themselves appear. These additions to this gallery has pushed it up one slot, past Stunning Skies, for fifth place in the most frequent items list. |
June, 2025
NEW IMAGE October in Buckland To go along with this month's "Featured Artwork" above, "The Road to Church," this new image of the same subject in the wonderful colors of fall just came to us from its owner. we also learned more about another painting just outside the view of this canvas and so we also updated... The Road to Church ... which shows a sugar house to the right of the scene that Woodward painted facing the opposite direction, thus giving us a look at where he positioned himself to make three canvases of the village center. |
June, 2025
NEW IMAGE My Christmas Shelf It is still not a great picture because it is captured from an old newspaper clipping but it is better than
nothing. Also, we have updated the information on the page to include other paintings it is related to and their
differences. |
Jun. 2025
UPDATED ESSAY The Blue Couch, essay We updated this recol-lection written by Dr. Mark
more than a decade ago.It is a first had ac-count of his experience and knowledge of how this painting got its name.
A name Woodward did not really like very much but because he allowed owners to name their paintings if they did not
already have name, he honored it. It even has its own painting diary entry. |
Jun. 2025
UPDATED ESSAY Mr. Franklin's House, essay This is a wonderful story about the work that went into finding out the loca-tion of this house Wood-ward
painted at least three times in and around 1930. It was not easy because, in truth, the house was not owned
by Mr. Franklin... he rented it. Woodward obviously did not know that or if he did, because Mr. Franklin was
living in it - it was his home. |
Jun. 2025
UPDATED INFO Bernard Hyman, profile In one of our more em-barrassing gaffs, this page has been updated with the correct and substantiated
information. |
Apr. 2025
UPDATED ESSAY Winter Evening Stream A project three months in the making and a month too later. The shear amount of new inform-ation alone surprised
even us. In 2011, Dr. Mark published an essay on the subject of Wood-ward's Winter Evening Stream paintings (WES for
short). Fourteen years later we had new images of many of the paintings, as well as a better grasp on the years
they were made. |
Apr. 2025
NEW PICS/INFO Snowing on the Hill This page has been updated and pictures have been re-edited using new methods that offers a much better look at this award winning paintings. Miss Johnson's This page has been updated as part of our artwork page audit. The bonus is that examining the picture of this painting we noticed how perfecting it appeared to fit the Golden Spiral. We laid our golden spiral over the image and it lined up in such a way it is worth sharing. |
April, 2025
NEWLY ADDED Silver Clouds Over Equinox This artwork page has been added to the list of complete works. It was one of the painting names we discovered in our audit of the So. Vermont Artist Assoc. brochures. Only, this painting was also very well reviewed by critic Royal Cortizzos making it stand out from the others. Silver Sky Over Equinox This artwork page was updated as well and is believed to be related to the pastel above. Our image is terrible but it at least shows what the pastel above resembles. |
Apr. 2025
MORE UPDATES Most of our efforts this month was on the WES essay honoring Dr. Mark. However, we still managed to update the following artwork pages. ⮞ May Woods ⮞ Midwinter ⮞ Mild Winter ⮞ A Mild Winter Day ⮞ Mount Equinox in April |
April, 2025
RE-VISIT Not that we haven't given you more than enough to keep you busy for at least the rest of winter... we do encourage you to visit, if you haven't already, some of Doc's Scrapbook essay we have updated and added new information... ⮞ A Tribute to Local Schoolteacher: Miss Mabel Raguse ⮞ Famed Collector: Francis Patrick Garvan ⮞ Brian's essay on the mystery of: December Farm Painting |
March, 2025
PAST DUE! Out of The Mist We have updated this page with "new" pictures. New is in quotes because the pictures are not recent. In fact,
they are nearly a decade old. They got lost in the mix somehow, and put aside only to get lost track of. |
March, 2025
WHAT THE... Where Glaciers Passed Speaking of over looking something... neither Larch or Brian noticed for more than 15 years that this painting had been cut down by Woodward, and significantly so, by more than 40%. We illustrate to difference and how we made the discovery, along with some other new information. May Heights This fell right in our lap as part of our artwork page audit. This painting, which we have no image of may be either (1) its own separate painting related to another known painting by its similar name... OR, (2) it does NOT exist at all. It might be a mistake similar to what we discuss with Old New England (Oil). A reporter or type-setter at the newspaper may have heard the name wrong... Nothing definitive so again we encourage you to read the story. |
March, 2025
UPDATED Mary Lyon Church, Crayon We have two known crayon drawing made by Woodward and when we say crayon, we mean crayon, not pastel or chalk. We do not know what prompted him to make the drawings but they are exceptionally well done. The crayons are not signed which makes sense. They were not done for professional reasons, yet, perhaps it was simply a matter of experimentation. We do not know. Mary Lyon's Church, Oil As it is with the summary above, this page was updated as part of our audit of each and every artwork page. Some updates yield, new information, or disproves information previously posted. Mary Lyon's Hill Updated as part of our audit of each and every artwork page. |
March, 2025
ALL SETTLED Old New England, Oil This is one of the best examples of correcting a long made error and this painting has finally found its true name. The error was made from a news-paper clipping where this canvas was the featured artwork. However, it was captioned "Landscape" and without more inform-ation, Dr. Mark felt com-pelled to stick with that until we learn otherwise, which we have... Read the story! Old New England, Chalk This new pastel came to us recently by way of a gallery that was selling it. You've seen the pictures because we announced the sale last month. It has since been sold and no longer available. How-ever, this artwork holds a particularly special place at a special time and its story says a lot about how RSW felt about it. |
March 2025
NEW PAGES Below are 4 more of 19 newly discovered painting names found in an audit of Woodward's personal collection of Southern Vermont Artists Associ-ation exhibit programs not originally included in the Deerfield Academy's 1970 catalog of Wood-ward's work. 3- Oils - Peru in Summer- The Green Bottle - Mount Stratton from Peru, Oil 1- Pastel - The Manchester SpireAND here is another over-looked , but well regarded, painting from the 1928 Los Angeles County Museum exhibit: 1- Oils - Massachusetts Barn |
Feb. 2025
NEW FIND & PIC In the Sugar Bush The search is over! This painting that exhibited at Woodward's homecoming when he sent seven paintings to the 7th
An-nual exhibition at Bradley Polytechnic Institute in Peoria, IL, a month after winning the Hallgarten First prize at
the National Academy of Design's annual show. The artist attended the school from 1901 to 1904 receiving his high
school diploma from there in 1902. |
Feb. 2025
MORE MIX UPS Winter Silence (new pics) This painting has suffered one of the greatest injust-ices of any that we can think of in Woodward's entire oeuvre! Not only was it overlook by the artist but it was inexpli-cably forgotten entirely because it was mixed up with the painting below. Yet, this painting was featured in the Boston Herald's special Roto-gravure section taking half the page. Its caption was repeatedly quoted in numerous articles about RSW that followed for years after... But that is not the worst of the cri-mes, this painting won an award at a special exhib-ition a couple of years before its imposter was even made ⮞ Winter Pool... This painting is not really an imposter. It is very real, however, it was the painting Woodward remembered perhaps because it was purchas-ed by his patron-saint, Mrs. Ada Moore. What's more is that she had given it to her sister who passed around the time RSW was writing his painting diary. This piece got an entry and "Sil-ence" did not.The issue is Pool also got all of Sil-ence's credit as being the Rotogravure painting. |
Feb. 2025
STILL MORE... Evening Stream #3 Evening Stream #2 Evening Stream #1 Would you believe that two of these three Evening Stream paintings are related to Winter Silence and Pool? They are!
Woodward claims that Evening Stream #2 and #3 are the same scene as "Winter Pool" only reversed (and again slighting
Silence). We took that challenge to see if he is right and reserved the pictures we have to compare. Spoiler, they are closer
than we thought but not exact. This shocked us to a certain extent because we always took the artist to paint what he sees, as
he sees it. |
Feb. 2025
ALSO UPDATED Road Guardians Caught in the fray of the Winter Pool controversy this page has also been updated. Here the issue is Woodward's claim for both paintings as being the first purchased by Mrs. Ada Moore. Our findings show that it is possible she bought both at the same time. Read page for more... Mary Lyon House This artwork page was one of the only gallery audit pages we actually got to this past month. It has been updated and new pictures have been added from a recent visit we made to the property. There is still more work to do on some of the other material. Keep posted. The Woods at Night This is a NEW artwork page and its name has been added to Wood-ward's oeuvre. It was discovered in an article giving it a favorable ment-ion and description. What stood out about the review was how the critic focused on the "dark Redgate" paintings more so than the other landscapes. |
Feb. 2025
FIXED ORDER Early Sugaring #2 It took almost six weeks but we have finally fix all of the pages effected by our software crash in Dec. '24. One of the cul-prits that caused the error was sorting out the three early sugaring paintings. This painting was to be #3 because it matched a photo of it hanging in a hotel lobby (more below) Early Sugaring #3 ... that is until, while work-ing on another project we find the ORIGINAL pic-ture by which we based our decision and
learned that at some time, over the years, the picture mistakenly got squished making the painting look square when it
was in fact rectangular! |
Nov. 2024
A NEW #ONE Early Sugaring #1 While it is not a race per se, this newly discovered canvas and the inform-ation we learned has forced us to rearrange the three
paintings all using this same name. In fact, it was our attempt to do this, along with the realization we mixed up
something just before we were about to upload our updates that caused the loss of 70% of the work we had done, as well as delaying our upload. The Casualties... The most significant fall-out to the editing software crash are the two other paintings by the same name as this. We had hoped to present all three together for you this mon-th but new information for #2 and #3 were lost entirely. For expediency, we moved on for now. |
Dec. 2024
NEW PASTELS Beside the Road in Dover This pastel recently came to us from its current owner and it is related to the oil painting, The Old Yellow House in Dover, however, it is not exact. There is a family sitting on the porch,the per-spective is wider and a little further back than the oil. Unique in its own right, this painting captures the age of the home very well. The Winter River Also related to an oil canvas is this pastel looking across the Deer-field River toward Buck-land's Purinton Hill,
simi-lar to the subject found in Across the Winter River. |
December 2024
NEW PICS Mild Winter Just when you think it can't get better.. it does. We already had a good picture of this painting but had the opportunity to see it in person and we took it! Along with new pictures. We would be no where without the gracious kindness of their owners and our appreciation is immeasurable. Grey Heights We made numerous visits at the invitation of the painting owners and we could not feel more blessed. We cannot express
how much more amazing the paintings are in person. We never really do them justice on the website, no matter how hard we
try! |
Dec. 2024
CORRECTED Woodland Mystery The two paintings cited in this this table box are related. One has a painting diary entry and the other does not, despite being painting within the same year, of the same subject... One painting exhibited where the other did not, yet still, both have distinctly different sepia prints... Evening Woodland ... in the diary remarks the artist attributes the year to the wrong paint-ing mixing it up with the other without even
ac-knowledging there are two canvases while also adding it would be his second to last painting before retiring. |
December 2024
NEW PAGES Below are 4 more of 19 newly discovered painting names found in an audit of Woodward's personal collection of Southern Vermont Artists Associ-ation exhibit programs not originally included in the Deerfield Academy's 1970 catalog of Wood-ward's work. 3- Oils - Peace on the Hills- Shoulders of Equinox - In an April Pasture 1- Pastel - Hill RoadAND here are two over-looked , but well review-ed, paintings from the 1926 Lyman-Longfellow House exhibit: 2- Oils - November Grey- Sap's Boiling |
October 2024
NEW PIC Proud Elm You are going to have to scroll to see this new picture of this much loved painting. Its extreme aspect
ratio makes it one of the most rectangular paintings in the artist's oeuvre but it is also an upright
painting meaning it is tall- very tall. Woodward obviously liked Elm trees. He painted them several times
including it in the painting names, Wide Spreading Elm, Dooryard Elm, The Hitchcock
Elm and this piece, which was painted in historic old Deerfield area, as was the Hitchcock Elm. |
Oct. 2024
NEW PASTEL Under the November Sky This newly discovered pastel painting was the catalyst to our audit of all of the exhibit programs we have on record. First was the surprise that Mrs. Frelinghuysen bought a Beech Tree painting when, with just a few exceptions, she mostly purchased Vermont specific subjects. So we went looking in the programs to see if this one was missed, we found 20 missing names! Moreover, this pastel was not found in any of the SVAA programs, however, we do have one missing year out of 17 and that is 1936. |
Oct. 2024
NEW PASTEL From the Pasture Top in June Similar to Under the November Sky, this pastel was purchased by Mrs. Frelinghuysen, by far Woodward's best customer. Second place is a distant, distant second by as much as 4 times. Most of her purchases were pastels we believe, because she held the medium in high esteem. Her mother, Louisine Havemeyer, who was close friends with renown American artist, Mary Cassatt, who along with her boyfriend Edgar Dugas, did great things with pastel and were well known for them. |
October 2024
NEW IMAGE Silver Clouds and Haystack We have had a picture of this pastel painting for a couple of years now but the glare from the glass over the painting was so distracting we deemed it unusable. However, re-cently we have develop-ed a technique to reduce the glare in pictures of paintings. It is tedious and takes numerous cyc-les of processing but we find that in the end it is worth it... You can still make out some of the features of the room it hangs, but now you can also see the painting itself without straining to ignore the glare. |
October 2024
NEW PAGES Below are 5 of 19 newly discovered painting names found in an audit of Woodward's personal collection of Southern Vermont Artists Associ-ation exhibit programs not originally included in the Deerfield Academy's 1970 catalog of Wood-ward's work. 3- Oils - Long Years Have Passed- Grace of Age - Bottles and Snow 2- Pastels - Mount Equinox fromSunderland - Mount Stratton from Peru |

JOURNEYING Maple Sugaring & Steaming Sugar House We will call this "Brian and Larch's Excellent Adventure!" One day in the Buckland area with time to
kill, the two set out to locate and see if they could find the rem-nant of the old Keach sugar house that appear-ed to hang
precariously on a steep slope on Koo-chuag (Snow) Mountain. |
