Charles E. Burchfield, Journals, May 1, 1916

A hot windy day – 

Rose-carthame sun at rising – 

A hot atmosphere – big hot wind from southwest – elms & poplars waving in wind – dirt now dry is a peculiar orange pink on the green – yellow dandelions – sidewalks become a rich whitish blue violet –  

Trees are blue & blue violet with YG leaf spottings –  

Middle distance lt V haze with blue trees up against it; wind & dust rearing thru airy YG willows – bright cerulean & whitish rhythms running over grass –
