I would like point out the second spring scene doesn't really look anything like Washington DC. That's the first thing that leapt out at me after seeing the Capitol up on a high hill with a grand staircase leading down to a pristine river. Nope, not last time I checked, not even close 🤭 The mountains are also a lot farther away in real life, but I suppose the first winter scene could pass off as Valley Forge (Pennsylvania), an early battle stage of the American Revolutionary War.

In any case, this was meant as a daydream from the perspective of George Washington early on in the war. At a time when things looked bleak, and independence was far from guaranteed. Washington DC didn't even exist yet, considering it's named after George Washington. But I imagine he was still thinking about better times ahead; perhaps already starting to conceive of a new glorious city by the river, and a new world Capitoline Hill inspired by ancient Rome. So this is my attempt at recreating an idealized version of a burgeoning new capital while the revolution was still going on.
