Charles E. Burchfield (1893-1967), White Wings of September, (1960) 1966; watercolor on paper, 47 5/8 x 53 1/4 inches; San Diego Museum of Art, Gift of Mr. and Mrs. Norton S. Walbridge, 1976.200
Sept. 10 – Tuesday –
Putting the notes of yesterday in order and filing them in portfolios –
The hour we spent by these vast fields of bleached out ripe grass, becomes more and more wonderful – something to remember for years – all the past Septembers seemed to march by in that hour –
Finished adding to the “White Wings of September” – it is now 48 x 54 – The urge to work on it grows apace.
