Charles E. Burchfield (1893-1967), Spirit of the North Woods, 1952; black ink, conte crayon and ink washes on paper, 13 1/2 x 10 1/2 inches, Burchfield Penney Art Center; Gift of Mr. & Mrs. Joseph E. Conners, 1982
The sun turned to rain; the snow all melted –
Very windy, the air turning colder.
To early service. Afterwards Rev. Neeb told me Mrs. Neeb had rheumatic fever –
Late P.M. – to the Koenig (James & Catherine) opening at A.I.B – a good show.
Afterwards to Quaker Bonnet for supper. Home and played Dvorak’s 4th Symph. & Dumky trio— gorgeous music. It brought back with a pang, the 1943 dreams of nature–fantasies.
