Charles E. Burchfield (1893-1967), Dawn of Spring, ca. 1960s; watercolor, charcoal, and white chalk on joined paper mounted on board, 52 x 59 1/2 inches; DC Moore Gallery, New York
A Spring Day. Late morning, sky clears & sun shines forth warmly. Easy wind from south. Sun shines unhampered all day. All the yearning of a March day is in today. I feel sure that cardinals are singing at home.
