A vintage Florida Highwaymen oil on canvas painting depicting a landscape with palm trees on a sea shore, signed, Newton, lower left. Possibly for Harold Newton, 1934 to 1994. In the early 1950s through the 1980s a group of twenty-six African-American artists known as the Florida Highwaymen used vivid and bright colors to display the beautiful untouched Florida landscape. The Florida Highwaymen painted wind-bent palm trees, serene sunsets, churning oceans and bright red Poinciana trees. Housed in a vintage wooden frame with carved patterns. One of a kind artwork.
