Six Palm Sunset by Ahmed Eltemtamy Painting Auction
Take a journey into Florida’s natural beauty and enjoy the timeless landscape depicted in this original painting, “Six Palm Sunset,” created by the Florida Highwaymen artist, Ahmed Eltemtamy.
About the Artist: Ahmed S. Eltemtamy was born and raised in Kuwait, the son of Egyptian parents. His father is an eye surgeon and his mother is a social worker. Eltemtamy says he doesn’t remember a time when he didn’t have the urge to create art. “It used to get me in trouble with teachers,” he laughs. “While the other students were busy with their assignments, I’d be at my desk drawing trees, birds and portraits.” He says he sold his first painting, a watercolor, while in third grade and continued to draw and paint throughout his formative years.
Eltemtamy continues to specialize in the nostalgic rural Florida landscapes perfected by legendary Florida artist A. E. Backus. “Have you seen the Backus Museum in Fort Pierce?” he asks. “Backus was the master of portraying light and mood.” Eltemtamy also admires the work of Sam Newton’s late brother Harold, Roy McLendon, and St. Augustine’s Tripp Harrison.
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.
