Highwaymen Art by Roy McLendon

“Indian River Fire Sky” by RA McLendon. This is an early Fire Sky scene by Highwaymen artist RA McLendon. Florida was very different in 1955 when Mr. McLendon started his painting career. Then Florida had 3.7 million residents. I-95 and Florida’s Turnpike were not completed with U.S. #1 the main highway into Florida. Today Florida’s population is almost 22 million.
