After mailing the letters, to the studio for a couple of hours. Exhausted, but persisted in looking at sketches—Mainly those of the winter of 1917—Those days had their frustration and agony—but all that remains is the joy I felt in nature, as revealed in these watercolors—Halcyon days, without a single worry!
