Charles E. Burchfield (1893-1967)

Oct 29 – 1920 –; At late afternoon a big blue bank of cloud spreads over the western sky; there is a cold yellow light above it from the vanishing sun; a high cold wind following the years first snow-fall. Houses have a strange bizarre appearance, with black shadows under the eaves – The trees half-bare, arise like spotted-spectres; people going home have a morose appearance; and the homes have a sinister look to them.
