During a recent visit to Miami Beach, I spent time walking through the Art Deco district — one of the most distinctive architectural neighborhoods in the country.

I got to spend a few days staying at The Avalon Hotel - pastel walls, palm trees, and the rhythm of Ocean Drive moving past in front.

I painted The Avalon, Miami Beach as a memory of that moment and the quiet elegance of the Art Deco buildings that define the area.

It was the coldest day of the year.

But when I stopped here, it didn’t feel cold.

Snow on the fields, the last corn poking through, and somehow the whole scene felt warm. This is the affliction fauvist painters live with — seeing warmth where logic says there shouldn’t be any.

Midwinter Warmth.
