This vibrant landscape features a central Royal Poinciana tree in full bloom, its fiery orange and red canopy set against a dramatic, multi-hued sky. The composition utilizes a bold palette of deep purples, magentas, and golden yellows to capture the transition of light at dusk. Four white birds are depicted in flight across the horizon, framed by dark palm fronds in the upper corners, adding a sense of movement to the tropical scene. The work is signed by the artist on the lower right and verso, with a handwritten inscription on the back identifying the artist as the niece and nephew of original Florida Highwayman James Gibson. The painting is housed in a gilt wood frame with a linen liner.
