Charles E. Burchfield (1893-1967), July Drought Sun, 1949-60; watercolor on paper, 45 x 54 inches; Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza, Madrid
July 28 – Sunday, 1956
To early service – H. along – (the blue-jay family)
A rather tiresome day – finally in desperation we drove over to Crowns for a snack – on our return we invited the R’s [Richters] for a visit and refreshments –
After I went to bed, had a violent coughing spell, with some very difficult breathing – the worst in weeks – So we got up and had tea, and watched a late movie until 1:00. Then I took a sleeping capsule.
