Label TextTracy Newton is the son of Sam Newton and the nephew of Harold and Lemuel Newton, all three of whom were original Florida Highwaymen. The second generation of Highwaymen has its roots in 1973 and like the first generation relies on self-taught artists working with friends and family to sell their paintings out of the trunks of their cars or on the street to pedestrians. Newton’s landscape, done in the same style as his predecessors, depicts the changeable Floridian weather as a storm rolling in on the Atlantic Ocean. Like the first generation of Highwaymen painters, Newton paints an idealized Florida that removes people and contemporary buildings.On View
