The location depicted in the present lot is likely Bedford Glens, Ohio, located near Cleveland. On May 28, 1916, the artist recorded in his journal two entries:
"A hazy stagnant day of thunderclouds & a storm - (To Glens) - A dense fog in valley - turned yellow by sunset -/Fields are full of dandelion seed heads -" (Charles E. Burchfield, Journals 27b, May 28, 1916, pp. 63-64)
"A momentary glympse (sic) into a forgotten world tonight at Bedford Glens €” After a rainy day I went down into the immense valley at sunset time €” a dense fog arose obscuring the sunlight but the afterglow turned it all to a rich yellow / up & down the valley was endless space, rapids frothed at my feet €” the wet shore reeked with plants €”/Afterwards I ascended the valley top €” nothing was visible in the valley but white mists, which made it seem like the edge of the world, yet I could hear the water roaring./I heard the wood thrush's wonderful song down in the cool dark blue-green valley €”" (Charles E. Burchfield, Journals 28, May 28, 1916, pp. 44-45)
