Charles E. Burchfield (1893-1967), West Wind in May, 1940; watercolor on paper, 28 x 24; Image from the Burchfield Penney Art Center Archives
A dozen days in one – a wild sweeping winds wrought changes in the sky so rapidly it was amazing – one could spend days in the skies –
I am sorry I stayed indoors – a vigorous wind was what I needed to clear my dusty mind – yet to watch it bend the trees in leaf-tearing rhythms was in itself freshening – Hard dashing showers at times –
Evening clear and cool star sparkled sky – cool depthy trees – To Eastman’s
