Charles E. Burchfield (1893-1967), Swamp in Spring, 1918; watercolor, 18 x 25 inches; Image from the Burchfield Penney Art Center Archives
A bitter cold day- A.M. to Varysburg & Wethersfield- too cold to get much. P.M. Home & take “catechumens” to Elma. East to swamp which I explore, delighting in the cold that makes the mosquitos sluggish. A half-hour at the end of the road reading.
