Charles E. Burchfield, Journals August 28, 1916

August 28, 1916

     A day of sudden effects & great season change –

     A cool rainy morning – clearing  - vivid blue cold sky – reflected in pools & wet roofs – brilliant cold sunlight.

     Big powerful misty clouds at noon – They mass at various points & turn the sky to a startling 7. black, up against which are sunlit trees houses & plants

     Clears at afternoon – blinding sun – clear damp air – all objects whether looking towards sun or away are flat silhouettes – weeds towards sun are frosty white –

     In cornfield at sunset – the autumn cold comes after the sun has set – brill yel – afterglow it is fall –
