Evening clouds in Daytona original watercolor

Venturing beyond the confines of our shelter during the winter of COVID, I embarked on a journey to assess the state of our beach, months after the relentless impact of Hurricane Ian. Traveling all the way to Daytona just to find a way to reach the ocean, I was greeted with a gift from nature—the breathtaking sight of sunset clouds casting vibrant hues across the sky, and the subtle signs of life returning to the beach. Despite the immense devastation our shores had endured, it was the glow of lights, the presence of people, and the ethereal beauty of the sky that ignited hope for the future within me. 6" x 6" on 140 lb cotton watercolor paper
