"Windy Willow", 2009, by Maryland artist Harry L. Richardson. This is an original acrylic painting of an old springhouse on Israel Creek near Walkersville, Maryland. The springhouse, built about 1781, was very important to early farm life. The structure protected the source of fresh drinking water for the family and provided a means of cooling milk and other dairy products and vegetables during hot weather.
