The artist featured is R.L. Lewis, one of the original Highwaymen and the only one, that I know of, that went on to art school and then taught painting. R.L. Lewis kept the feel of the early Highwaymen paintings but added a level of technique that distinguishes his work from all the others. Mr Lewis's paintings depict a time in Florida long gone, where farming was the major industry and nothing was paved over yet.
The Highwaymen show will run from Friday May 7th till May 28th.
Meet the artist Friday May 7th from 6pm till 9pm
Manatee County Cultural Alliance Gallery, 926 12th St. W., Bradenton FL. GL
