Gorgeous Signed Vintage Florida Highwaymen Painting Lemuel Newton Moonlit Palm
Item History & Price
Up for sale is a stunning original oil on upson board painting by listed highwaymen artist, Lemuel Newton(1950-2014). Lemuel's works do not come up for sale as often as his brothers do. Lemuel has used palette knife application to depict a lone-palm tree overlooking the intercoastal waterway, all illuminated by diffused moonlight. With green and blue hues throughout, the sfumato of the background horizon gives the feeling of a calm fog.
Overall dimensions of framed paint...ing is 28"(h) x 16"(w).Frame is 2 and 3/8" wide. Painting is knife-signed in lower right, L, Newton.
Painting is in good condition. Separation from and of frame is present. Metal tabs have been used to secure the two together, this appears to have been added at some point after creation. As with all highwaymen paintings, you should expect to see imperfections, debris and other irregularities that are common because of the manner in which they were created, stored and sold. I do not see any damage to the painting itself. I have taken sectional photographs from top down, please review and zoom each section. Ask all questions before buying.
First 8 photographs are taken with a light blue background under diffused sunlight. Photograph #9 is taken with incandescent lighting. Last two photographs show the back of the painting under incandescent lighting and attempt to set an example of what can be expected for the board-frame separation. Painting hangs and displays beautifully, I still want to make sure buyer is aware.
I pack with care and ship promptly via FedEx or USPS at buyer discretion. Local pick up to Raleigh is also available.
Thank you for looking and happy shopping!
