The winds and the gusts can reach upwards to 30 - 60 mph coming in off the Gulf of Mexico as well as from the north. Seeing palm trees swaying and trunks bending is common place.
Hope you enjoyed.

Stiff Trade Winds
Yo my friends ---This winter in Florida has been a tad chilly as well as windy. The wind gave me the idea for this painting. This is 10 x 20 done with a palette knife on heavy linen paper. I used bold sweeping strokes from the shoulder and arm almost fully extended. A great feeling of liberation in this style of painting.
