Description: An original oil on canvas painting by the celebrated Florida Highwaymen artist Mary Ann Carroll (American, 1940-2019). This vibrant landscape captures a quintessential Florida scene, featuring a striking royal poinciana tree in full, fiery red bloom next to a tranquil river. Lush tropical foliage, including prominent palm trees, frames the riverbank, where light reflects off the water under a dynamic, cloud-filled sky. The artist's use of a bold palette and expressive brushwork, a hallmark of her style, brings the serene beauty of the natural environment to life.

Artist: Mary Ann Carroll (1940-2019), the "Queen of the Highwaymen," was a pioneering African-American artist inducted into the Florida Artists Hall of Fame in 2004. She learned to paint from mentor Harold Newton and sold her works along Florida's highways during a time of segregation to support her family. Her paintings are now in high demand and featured in museums and collections worldwide.
