About the artwork:
Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
- Robert Frost
I have always loved this poem and tried to capture this feeling through some of Spring's most beautiful yet most fleeting scenes - A morning's windblown clouds with just a touch of gold, a spectrum of color lighting the sky during a Spring storm and a sunset sky full of the finest Spring colors.
