Charles E. Burchfield (1893-1967), Spring Rain in the Woods, 1950; Watercolor on paper, 30 x 40 inches; Private Collection
Rain commences late afternoon, becoming a steady downpour by night – a spring rain is a beneficent act; One could stand in it and feel sheer physical pleasure in its contact – The air is full of toad-songs and calls of various birds. Saw a house-wren twice.
Charles Burchfield, April 11, 1932
