Charles E. Burchfield (1893-1967), Mist Phantoms at Dawn, 1960; watercolor with charcoal on joined paper mounted on board, 33 x 40 inches; Private Collection
Dense fog – void but a short distance away. The sun a drab orange spot, then disappears. A blue jay imitates a hawk cry – I see one in a tree, at my approach he flies away to an apple tree where he is a pale blue shadow –
Charles E. Burchfield, November 12, 1917
