Florida Highwaymen James Gibson

Florida Highwaymen James Gibson
Florida Highwaymen James Gibson is well known as one of the first Florida Highwaymen artists, literally selling paintings from the trunk of his car in the 1950s. Painting Florida's landscapes for nearly 50 years, James Gibson is an accomplished artist – his paintings in high demand. Although the landscape has changed considerably since the 1950s, Mr. Gibson continues to capture the ever-changing cloud formations, brilliant sunrises and sunsets, and mystical-magical landscapes that portray the true essence of Florida's natural beauty. . This beautiful Florida Everglade scene measures about 24" X 30" and is certain to be a highlight in any advanced collection.

  2. These are truly beautiful. I love the beach it is so relaxing. I have always wanted to live some place tropical with the emerald green waters and palm trees. These art works look like they took a lot of time and work. I wish I could have them to hang in my house. Keep up the good work.

    1. Thank you Irish Joy. I like to imagine what this unique artist felt when he created it. He was an African American male in South Florida during the 1950's sharing his gift. No one knew what he and his fellow Florida Highwaymen were creating. Very inspiring indeed.
