Influenced in the late fifties and early sixties by the great
Florida naturalist, A.E. "Beanie" Backus,
the above mentioned black artists, along with others,
used canvasboard, upson board, masonite and canvas to
paint on creating dramatically powerful,
yet serene, "Florida scapes".

This artwork was sold by the artists themselves
while traveling up and down the highways,
primarily along the eastern seaboard,
during the last forty years.
