Charles E. Burchfield (1893-1967), Glory of Spring (Radiant Spring), 1950; Watercolor on paper, 40 1/8 x 29 ¾ inches; Parrish Art Museum, Southampton, New York. Gift of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Corning Clark, 1959
A dappled sky, silver sun – wind out of SW is it the wind or the Equinox? Windy poplars against yellow + white dapple rifts robins sing –
Windy fresh sunlit noon – oily mud – objects vibrate in space – nothing is distinctly static – grass is green + RV + has a brassy appearance - ; in some places greening grass contrasts with RV mud – Sky forms in great white bow shaped clouds extending from one corner to another –
A haze vibration over the ground –
Charles E Burchfield, March 20, 1917
