Got out the “Winter Rain at Night” (a 1917 reconstructed picture that I mounted last year) and started drawing on it—all at once, it seemed to click and I felt an overwhelming desire to work on it (which I plan to do tomorrow—what will the day bring forth?) and at the same time ideas for conventionalizing natural phenomena poured in on me. I thank God for this renewal of my creative power.
