Art About Florida
Dedicated to the little group of Fort Pierce ,Florida artists who became known to
the public as The Highwaymen for their indomitable spirit.
Paint brush flashes a chill blue shine
to slice along the horizon line
flip the fronds of palms around
splash of azure,green and brown
Florida scenes under your nails
sand in socks and shoes and pails
easel strapped across your back
traipsing the unbeaten track
use your brush to teach the eye
strike the spectrum from the sky
dripping colors on the sand
washed away by nature's hand
like loose bits of colored glass
kaleidoscope,you're changing fast
open up your heart creative
to the land,the constant native
rolls the ocean through his soul
to the canvas and behold
he becomes a work of art
in the murals of his heart.
