Charles E. Burchfield (1893-1967), September Wind and Rain, 1949; watercolor on paper, 22 x 48 inches; Butler Institute of American Art, Youngstown, OH
Dreampt last night of snow & woke up chilled by an icy breeze. Wonderful morning air, cold & dry. Sunlight dazzling. Yellow dapply clouds against pure blue sky. At horizon the sky is icy - a wonderful blue-green, out of which, thru openings in the clouds came the stiff snowy wind that sent a flurry of frost over the trees.
