Charles E. Burchfield (1893-1967), Moonset, June 24, 1916; watercolor on paper, 14 x 10 inches; Image from the Burchfield Penney Art Center archives
A cold day – a wonderfully weird rhythmic sky & at times layer sky –
It is remarkably plain today how trees are much darker & are flat silhouettes against sky and against houses are lighter with modeling clearly visible –
A dappled sky at night
moon shot – black vigorous tree patterns – a cool brisk wind – the sky moves along rapidly –
