Old Rio Mar by Johnny Daniels Painting Auction
Take a journey into Florida’s natural beauty and enjoy the timeless landscape depicted in this painting, “Rio Mar,” created by the Florida artist, Johnny Daniels.
About the artist: The youngest of the original 26 Florida Highwaymen painters, Johnny Daniels was born in 1954 in Quincy, Fla. and raised in Fort Pierce. Discovering the Highwaymen painters who worked in Fort Pierce sometime in the early 60s, Daniels began making frames for the Highwaymen’s work and was paid 50 cents per frame, watching and learning from the senior painters Alfred Hair and Livingston Roberts.
Inducted into the Florida Artists Hall of Fame in 2004, Daniels’ paintings are known for his use of a palette knife to create thick applications of paint and a contrast of warm yellows, reds, and oranges against cooler tones of blues and whites.
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.
