While painting "Archway at the Malecón" during the peak of summer, Wright found himself battling the intense heat, which was both a challenge and a source of inspiration. To shield himself from the blazing sun, he set up an umbrella, creating a small oasis amidst the vibrant surroundings. The warmth and brightness of the day infused his palette with lively colors, echoing the energy of the bustling Malecón. Despite the discomfort, the lively atmosphere and the beauty of the archway motivated him to capture the essence of the summer scene, turning the heat into an integral part of his artistic journey.
