The painting is an emotional representation of nature and refers to the sensations experienced when looking at a horizon on the water and seeing the sea and sky at the same time. The title comes from the acronym for the decommissioned naval base where I paint: San Francisco Hunters Point and neighborhood of the same name where I live. This work is the part of a larger series based on that area, and the number designates their order completed.
When I started this painting, I had recently seen Monet's waterlilies in an exhibition. I bought the postcard to send to a friend. I put the postcard in my studio but never sent it. I didn't realize it at the time but the colors and brushstrokes of this painting were heavily influenced by Monet.
