Buyer Beware

Some people will say anything for a buck!

Don't get ripped off - Read below!

It appears as though some Ebay sellers and some auctioneers are intentionally trying to pass off any tropical landscape style painting as Highwaymen art. Last time I checked the list of Highwaymen Artists that are listed in any of the Highwaymen books I find no mention of:
Kelvin Hair, not a highwaymen
Richard Edwards, not a Highwaymen
Horace Foster, not a Highwaymen
Michael Sears, not a Highwaymen
S. Prather, not a Highwaymen
Richard Love, not a Highwaymen
A.J.Brown,not a Highwaymen
Smitty, he's white, not a Highwaymen
Jerry Chaput,(deceased) he's white, not a Highwaymen
Norman Wright, not a Highwaymen
Lost Years 2.1, he's white, not a Highwaymen
a.k.a. evie32966 on eBay
Tracy Newton, not a Highwaymen!!!
Redman, he's white, not a Highwaymen

and other Florida themed artists that continually show up at different sales venues as Highwaymen. The only Highwaymen Artists that are listed in any of the books are also the only Highwaymen Artists that were inducted into the Florida Artists Hall of Fame in March of 2004. Just because somebody is related to one of the Highwaymen, went to school with an artist, can hold a paint brush or took a lesson at one time or
another doesn't make them a Highwayman.

Also, there is NO such thing as a 2nd generation Highwaymen artist. You either lived it or you didn't!

In other words folks if you sweep the stairs at City Hall that doesn't make you Mayor.

One auctioneer in Dania Beach, Florida continues to list paintings as Highwaymen that are NOT HIGHWAYMEN. I guess is he can't read or ignores emails. NO, I won't take this down - I'll put his name up here soon.

And just because some dealer puts a 25 cent plaque on a painting doesn't make it worth a damn thing.
They did not live it then nor have they lived it since!
