– today an inactive [day] – in studio in afternoon – I suddenly realize that I am done with the shed in swamp and hollows pictures and must put them away – which I do with regret, closing a door on an adventure in imagination which was one of the happiest in my career – [addendum] 3/26/43 Re-opened, and even greater pleasure this “door”
-Charles E. Burchfield, May 18, 1934 + March 26, 1943
