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.
