Harold Newton... the Quintessential Florida HIGHWAYMEN Artist

This Very EARLY ''HAROLD' is from the Private Collection of HERON CAY Lakeview B&B INN, and is being offered for sale.

It is a very Old, Classic RIO MAR on  24" by 36"  UPSON.  Overall with the frame... 45" by 31.5"

The Palms, Grasses, Waves, Beach... and Proportions show the Early Days of Harold Newton! 

But... THE CLOUDS... They Are HAROLD'S... he had them from Day ONE !! 

The FRAME is also VERY Interesting: Obviously not the 'TYPICAL Crown Molding' that is associated with the HIGHWAYMEN !

However, this frame is Very Old... and it Was MADE for this Painting. You can see the NEW white 'Panel Nails'  holding in the 'UPSON' board...

However, upon close inspection, they are in the same place on the' UPSON' and Frame, as were the original nails.

Hand Carving and Plaster 'Trim'

Everything 'fits' Perfectly!

So WHY would we want to Sell ??  This is a true Collector's Painting... Which Honestly, we are NOT.

We are continuously ''Fine Tuning' our Collection to OUR LIKES... and now making room for a 'New' HAROLD that we recently acquired.

If you want the 'PERFECT' Harold's of the 1980'' and 1990's (which we DO prefer), then this is NOT for YOU!

However, if you want an excellent example of one of HAROLD NEWTON's Early paintings; this Classic RIO MAR would be Perfect.
