Charles E. Burchfield (1893-1967), Butterflies in September, 1966; watercolor on paper, 31 x 33 inches; from the collection of the Burchfield family
The Autumnal Equinox takes note of dying plants which assumes grotesque shapes & attitudes; of the last frenzied flutter of butterflies; of thinning trees & falling leaves; of migrating birds; of brilliant moons & romantic moonlit nights, of rain wind & storm.
Charles E. Burchfield, September 10, 1916
