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.
