Charles E. Burchfield (1893-1967), September Wind, 1955; watercolor on paper, 14 x 20 inches; Private Collection
As the sun goes down a dense blue haze comes over the earth – a chill in the air –
What a startling thing a bon-fire
It flares up, plants, trees, + parts of buildings pop forth from the black ghostly white silhouettes + suddenly all is gone!
A rare combination in the fields is brill yellow, sour bronze yellow green + pale lavender –
Charles Burchfield, September 25, 1916
