“The glare of the late winter sun☀️is almost hypnotic in its intensity.” — inscription on verso✍️
🌳Nature was Burchfield’s primary subject and one he would depict throughout his career regularly.
🎨Using watercolor as his primary medium, he often painted his landscapes with expressionistic light. His inspiration derived from childhood nature books, Japanese prints, Chinese scrolls and paintings by Romantic artists like William Blake and Samuel Palmer.✨
