A November sun ignites the tree tops and illuminates a field of jittery stalks in this watercolor by American painter Charles Burchfield at DC Moore Gallery in Chelsea. Painted late in life when Burchfield’s scenes had become more dream-like, the brilliance of the sun belies the impending dormancy of the natural world as winter approaches. (Through June 13th).
