Charles E. Burchfield (1893-1967)

[inscription reads] " charms. / Close cropped pastures are great lichens of the earth. / Amer. mocking bird sends hollow-rapping call thru (sic) the sun-whacked trees. / This dew-drenched spurry valley in a wonderful thing on misty mornings. Shrub-willows star-studded, which snapped by the new born breeze flung upward pieces of silver that struck by the sun were given voice & dissolved into killdeers. / See pair of hawks sailing near Reeses mine. / Dewy yellow butterfly. / Blue sailors.
