Notes
Painted in Provincetown, MA, in Arch Street studio. ED note, "Children dancing around a clock,

To R.P. September 29, 1965: "An old man on a hill holding 2 small kids by the hand,
Mamie Noons, a girl dancing in front of a clock - other folk - and a little below, a locomotive steaming by . . .
. beyond all is a Portuguese Azores village with houses & street laid off, and a sky which, more of a design
than a sky & not very good at that, but `twas a try.'"
