Al Black came into our Antiques shop in June 2020 and said I hear you like Florida Highwaymen paintings. Yes. I'm Al Black and have paintings to sell. He has been back 3 times now. They is a new movie out that is narrated by Al Black on the history of the 26 recognized highwaymen of which he is one.Â
We  purchased this painting after Al Black had come into the shop from a customer who bought it when Al Black was in prison. We contacted Al to verify he painted it. He said yes that's mine and asked if we noticed anything different about it. Yes, colors are different, oil on canvas and signature is in block letters and the clouds are different. He said when he was in prison he had limited colors, signed his name in block letters and time to paint pretty clouds.
