Charles E. Burchfield (1893-1967), Sun-glow on a Rainy Day, March 23, 1917; watercolor and gouache on paper, 15 3/4 x 13 1/2 inches (Frame: 32 5/8 x 26 1/2 inches); Gift of Peter E. and Elizabeth M. Parisi, 2005
A loose day – occasionally the sun slanted forth – At evening, the whole sky became a lurid yellow – the whole earth was lit up shortly after a heavy downpour of rain fell out of the sky –
Gradually I have lost poetry – I have not last Spring’s exuberant enthusiasm –
