Charles E. Burchfield (1893-1967), November Railroad Mood, November 13, 1946; watercolor on paper, 28 x 41 3/4 inches; Image from the Burchfield Penney Art Center Archives
Altho the stars shone all night (I woke up from time to time, + thought how the sky moved overhead, bringing new scenes of stars every hour) this morning the November Grey fills the air.
Atmosphere is violet; houses recede under their eaves; smoke hurries SW ward – The darkest sky is to the Northwest opposite the Dawn.
Charles Burchfield, November 15, 1917
