A.M. Fixing screen on cellar windows.
P.M. Painting of the view between our house & garage, with Bengert’s maple & our ailanthus as the center of interest – I let myself go with abandon on the painting of the ailanthus, forming its leaf clusters into glittering pinwheels.
Charles E. Burchfield, August 8, 1945
