Sky of Flame by Johnny Daniels Painting Auction
Take a journey into Florida’s natural beauty and enjoy the timeless landscape depicted in this original painting, “Sky of Flame,” created by the Florida Highwaymen 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. “Johnny was probably 13 or 14 when he started painting,” Alfred Hair’s son Kelvin Hair told the TC Palm in a 2009 article. “He’d hang out with my father and Willie (Daniels) while they painted. Actually, he started by making frames for them and learned to paint from them.”
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.
