Red Tree on the Lake by Isaac Knight Painting Auction
Take a journey into Florida’s natural beauty and enjoy the timeless landscape depicted in this original painting, “Red Tree on the Lake,” created by the Florida Highwaymen artist, Isaac Knight.
About the Artist: It was family ties that brought Isaac Knight to the Florida Highwaymen painters, his art came later. Born in 1941 on his family’s 100-acre farm outside Tallahassee, Knight moved to Fort Pierce at 17 and set out to build a life on his own.
Knight’s early works depicted typical Highwaymen Florida tableaux of ocean and landscapes, and he always painted from memory, as most of the Highwaymen did. Inducted into the Florida Artists Hall of Fame in 2004, Isaac Knight continued to paint until his death in 2022. In his later years, Knight worked almost entirely in black and white, enjoying the tones and shadows the pallet of blacks, greys, and whites allowed him to play with as a painter, much as photographers do with black and white film.
This painting is a quintessential example of Florida Highwaymen art, ideal for collectors and enthusiasts. As a historical record of Florida’s landscapes, this original painting captures the untamed beauty throughout the state.
