Charles E. Burchfield (1893-1967), Winter Moonlight, 1951; Watercolor on paper, 40 x 33 inches; Wichita Art Museum, The Roland P. Murdock Collection
My sketchbook has virtually become my diary. A fine winter day with a clear sky. A walk country wards under the half moon near midnight. It was but a fleeting glimpse of the grandeur of nature at night.
