Charles E. Burchfield (1893-1967), Butterflies and Black Barn (August Noon), August 25, 1916; watercolor and pencil on paper, 20 x 14 inches; Charles K. Williams Collection
A vivid morn – rich vibrating green grass – slick sapling gleam white – shiny poplar – cat kin scales catch the sunlight turning the tree to a sprinkle of highlights - A day on which brown wood sheds with yellow signs catch the eye – bleached shingles – sunlit tin cans boxes – green dotted lilac bushes – heat waves over rise in ground –
Charles E. Burchfield, April 3, 1916
