After the Storm

When I was young, I imagined that an artist’s ability to conjure up a scene, whether it was landscape, portrait from his imagination was an indicator of skill or talent. I thought that if I could create strictly from my mind, I would have done something notable. It was only later that I understood that all artists—one way or another— work from reference material. This scene combines my study of the South Florida landscape and a few notions of a reality I would like to visit.
