This watercolor represents a typical field in North Central Pennsylvania in late winter or early spring. The grass is depicted in shades of yellow and orange, and the remaining snow is shown at the bottom of the frame. Bare trees stand in the center around a gate to the meadow and a single gravel path runs along the center of the frame to the horizon line. Small hills full of trees are in the distance and the sky is light gray with cirrus clouds. The painting touches on the passing of time, as the snow melts in late winter.
