“Painting of this subject made in 1941 when daughter Jessie was three yr’s old. Our shepherd dog Jake impersonated the wolf in this Red Riding Hood theme. The area depicted is in our wood lot on Martha’s Vineyard and shows a path leading to my mother’s place there. Trees, white oak, grow thick at the trunk but do not get very high on our part of the island because of the winds. Painting in my possession. Litho was made from it at request of A.A.A.“
