Charles E. Burchfield (1893-1967), Autumnal Fantasy, 1916-1944; watercolor on joined paper, 39 x 54 inches; Private Collection
5:00 A.M. chestnut hunting- Riding thru the dark town, with the moon high in the west –
Over the wet country road. Dawn; how the morning star pales; the moonlight loses ground- a bird commences to sing; it is like a combination of the meadowlark & bobolink.
Charles E. Burchfield, October 19, 1919
