DescriptionSeated against a brilliant blue Florida sky, two Black women enjoy a cool glass of lemonade on a beach. Surrounded by lush green shrubs and soaring palm trees, the two women enjoy a seemingly private, protected section of the beach. In swimsuits and sunhats, one woman lounges in a red and white striped beach chair while the other woman, her back against the leg of the chair, rests on a black blanket, her feet covered with a red and whit towel. To their left, a classic picnic basket -- lined with red gingham sits next to a blue and white floral pitcher. The seated woman dips her toes in the water lapping up at the shoreline, while the river flows behind them. At their backs, a glorious sun, barely blocked by the white, fluffy clouds sees to set behind the women.
