This piece is the result of an air boat ride I took in June of 2021 during a trip to Palm Bay, Florida. It had been overcast most of the day but as we docked I turned to see the setting sun breaking through the cloud cover, and right behind one of the few Pines in the area. I had to capture the scene. First a small rendering in gouache then, when I got back to my studio, a larger version in oils. I do believe I captured the essence of the place and time.
