Arthur got "Tree" out & found it had run terribly, on account of the coating of oil-turpentine put on prepatory to work.  He went at it, repainted and did the damaged part more handsomely.

I worked on "Thunderstorm" and although parts - water especially are nicer, it has lost much of its "ominous" quality which I must recapture tomorrow. I made drawings of trees on banks, got "too literal," now it has a landscape gardened effect.
