FLORIDA HIGHWAYMEN Al Black Cypress Swamp Scene, Oil on Upson Board (SIGNED)
$2,899.00
Original oil painting by Florida Highwaymen artist Al Black (b. 1946). Scratch signed and dated 1985 in the lower right. Oil on Upson board.
A striking example of Al Black’s vivid, highly recognizable style, this 1985 work showcases a classic Florida cypress swamp rendered in glowing tones of orange, green, and gold. The composition is anchored by tall, feathery cypress trees draped in moss, mirrored gently in a still pond below. A small cluster of birds in flight adds a sense of quiet movement to the otherwise serene landscape.
Al Black, one of the original members of the Florida Highwaymen collective, is known for his fast, intuitive painting technique and ability to capture the atmospheric beauty of Florida’s wetlands. His use of color and light in this piece evokes the peacefulness of a late southern afternoon. The painting is done on traditional Upson board and is framed in dark wood with a gilt interior edge.
This is an exemplary, well-preserved example of mid-career Highwaymen art, ideal for collectors of Highwaymen and Florida landscape art.
The painting measures 24 x 36 inches and is in very good vintage condition.
You can view this painting in person in dealer 279’s booth #421 available at Avonlea Antiques and Interiors.
