This lively study for Fantasy of Spring (1948) features iconic elements of the changing seasons. Among the first to bloom, tiny Spring Beauties open on balmy sunny days, sending a delicate aroma in the air. Warming flames of spring coax winter to recede into the depths of frigid woods. Our star sun reigns over the earth’s rebirth.
