I came across the artist Charles Burchfield when I went to the RISD Art Museum a while back, and I thought he was interesting artist. I liked his use of perspective in some of his images as well as the broad stokes. I thought he did a very nice job of keeping details in the painting where it counted such as the glossy wet feel of the road in the first image since that was in the foreground more.
A brief synopsis of his style and life can also be found on this website www.artgallery.sbc.edu
