Artist, Charles Burchfield, painted in a very subjected way but was expressive and poetic. Many adjectives have been used to describe his work, but he saw himself as a Romantic landscape painter.

He painted with a water color technique that made it possible for him to do so quickly with the same brilliance and color as with oil. He always tried to improve his watercolors by retouching them.

The artist’s favorite mode in his landscapes was the change of seasons, particularly from winter to spring.

However, he not only painted landscapes but more realistic urban scenes that are comparable to the silent introspection of the works of Edward Hopper. Burchfield lived in rural towns and he depicted them in his paintings.
