Chilly, damp, overcast — listless fall of snow at times —
All day in studio on “Late Winter Dawn.” The most important change is the addition of stars — It now seems to “hang together” better. Bertha thought it beautiful, and refused even to consider the thought that it might still have faults!
Charles E. Burchfield, March 8, 1965
