On all sides morbidness –
In painting the horizon sun; paint a burst of light, then the black jagged edges of trees, & the openings in the trees as missapen things
A day of rare romantic clouds –
A rainy noon in a woods; feeling of sunshine about to come thru the trees – at the season when it seems summer is an eternal season –
Charles Burchfield, September 23, 1916
