LeConte Stewart painted this work in the robust style of the Bucks County, Pennsylvania, impressionists such as Edward Redfield. LeConte stated: "Impressionism is the most important painting innovation of all time....I thought to myself, why not use this technique to express an idea rather than making it the end goal of a painting? I have tried to think of it as a means of interpreting landscaping rather than making it merely impressionistic."
