264 [[image - 5 point star]] September 20 Sunday Arthur worked on "Tree" doing some fine painting there upon. I worked on "Before Thunder Storm" made sky better. In the afternoon Bill called up. [[end page]] [[start page]] 265 [[image - 5 point star]] September 21 Monday 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.
