A commissioned piece celebrating Florida's east coast fishing culture, featuring a split view of above and below the water at sunset. The composition combines a detailed snook and school of bait fish in the crystal-blue underwater scene with the commissioner's personal boat trolling offshore near a palm-lined shore beneath a vibrant coral sky. The mixed media approach uses watercolor techniques to create atmospheric effects in both water and sky, while ink and colored pencil provide definition to the marine life and vessel details.
