This painting was painted on location at Adkins Arboretum in Ridgely, Maryland. It's a place not too far from my home. The crickets were loud the day I was there, making their presence known. Perhaps they were welcoming spring, although it was a rather cold day. I was bundled up and my hands were cold, sticking them in my pockets from time to time to warm them up. I remember wishing spring weather would make an appearance to warm me, but alas it remained a beautiful but overcast day.
