A Palm tree moves with the stiff ocean breeze coming onshore, allowing the viewer to appreciate the elegance and grace inherent in its form. The tall slender trunk and pliable leaves suggest a resilience that belies its apparent fragility. It stands on a textured sandy surface, punctuated by sea oats and other coastal vegetation, evoking a sense of the landscape without overwhelming the composition. The background is a light gradient wash of blue and pink blending seamlessly into the natural cream color of the paper itself.
