Charles E. Burchfield (1893-1967), Sun and Snowstorm, 1917; watercolor, gouache and pencil on joined paper, 19 1/2 x 27 inches; Private Collection
Yesterday’s thaw ended suddenly last night with a snowstorm & gale that came without warning (about 9:00) – This morning, very cold and a high wind from the west –
P.M. to Buffalo to shop and look around the town – eventually to the foot of Maryland Street – I parked near the corner of a building – the wind rocked the car all the time I sat there –
Evening – the broadcast of the dedication of the New National Gallery –
Charles E. Burchfield, March 17, 1941
