Charles E. Burchfield, Journals, May 14, 1917

     A vivid clear day  sunlight white + blinding shadows are very sharp + dark blue black; dandelions hurt the eyes –
     Shadows group into flat masses...
     Bare trees [black violet] against north, fruit trees white against them
     Poplar leaves vivid [orange yellow] against sky, sparkle with white shimmer –
     Evening sun is white surrounded by golden yellow – Sky is a rich [indecipherable], against it fresh green trees – yellow + green, fruit trees in full bloom – rich [orange] sun – to east brick red objects – afterwards a rainbow horizon sky –
