Description
Tequila Sunrise by James Gibson. 24X30 on Upson.
The sky is painted in intense shades of red and orange, evoking the warm and vivid hues of a sunrise, hence the title “Tequila Sunrise”. The gradient from deep red at the horizon to a lighter, more golden hue higher up in the sky creates a dramatic backdrop. A prominent feature is a tall, slightly leaning palm tree in the foreground, with bright green fronds that contrast against the warm sky.

About the artist: Described as “kind, courtly and supremely talented — not a combination you find in many people,” by journalist Anthony Westbury, James Gibson is as remembered today for his style and charisma as he is for his art. Born the oldest of eight children in 1938 in Moore Haven, Fla., the family moved to Fort Pierce sometime in the early 40s where Gibson counted Alfred Hair, one of the founders of the Highwaymen, among his childhood friends.
Inducted into the Florida Artists Hall of Fame in 2004 and the recipient of the Florida Ambassador Art Award in 2005, James Gibson died on August 15, 2017, at the age of 79.
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.
