'Orchard with Blossoming Plum Trees is a landscape filled with a green hue, with everything from the grass to the buds and leaves on the trees showing vibrant liveliness. Even the trunks of the trees are green, perhaps to signify that even though the bark on the surface is dead, the tree within is flourishing.' Princeton.edu, Painted in 1888.
