Charles E. Burchfield (1893-1967), Pear Tree in September, 1949; watercolor on paper, 22 x 30 inches; Image from the Burchfield Penney Art Center Archives
A lowering sky – a flock of gulls hovering over the town - working on frames – raw & cold.
A flock of starlings all day in Bergert’s Pear tree, kept up a continual chattering. Something very homey and cozy about it.
Evening – letter to Rehn.
Charles E. Burchfield, September 29, 1941
