WPA national-park travel poster

1930s-40s WPA national-park travel poster depicting a vast Gulf-coast landscape under an approaching hurricane: a monumental, stylised spiral of slate-blue storm clouds dominating the upper two-thirds, layering down into dusk-amber light breaking between cloud bands, then a flat sage-green coastal plain with simplified palms and low dunes, and finally a calm cream-coloured sea in the foreground. Layered flat planes imply receding distance; screen-printed texture with limited tonal separation and slightly misregistered ink edges. Monumental, calm composition despite the storm — the eye drawn up the cloud spiral. Palette strictly sage green, dusk amber, deep slate blue, cream. No lettering, no borders, no captions anywhere. 9:16 portrait phone wallpaper.
