Highwaymen Art by RA McLendon

“Peach Morning” by Highwaymen artist RA McLendon. This is an early one, late 1950’s
of a Florida Backwater scene that was painted in Florida but ended up in Kentucky. Painted using only the palette knife which was common then. Early paintings by Harold Newton and RA McLendon were all
painted this way, palette knife only.

Harold Newton was the first Highwaymen artist to start painting Florida landscapes. The second was RA McLendon. Who was the third member in this group of artists? Hezekiah Baker makes that position. These three members in
the group should be recognized for their early part in this story.
