Poquito Sol y Poquito Arroz

This painting is meant to capture the intense heat felt in Florida in recent years due to climate change.

As Hispanics, it's especially felt when it comes to outdoor celebrations in the Florida heat. As we converse and socialize with our loved ones, the sun blares down on us while we try to enjoy our time together.

It's a form of bonding at this point, but how normalized can this heat really be, and how long will we be expected to tolerate it idly.
