Highwaymen videos, found while surfing you tube

While the reason I have a blog, or even a website
( http://www.highwaymen-buy-sell-trade.com/ )
is to generate purchases or sales of vintage highwaymen art, I try to continue educating the public with links to informative highwaymen stuff.

This morning, before I head up to Inverness to set up the show this weekend, I found a story about the opening reception of the exhibition I attended last Thursday at Nova University in Davie. There was a little song, a little dance, but not a lttle seltzer down your pants. Remember the eulogy at the funeral for the clown on the Mary Tyler Moore show, anyone ?

The reception was well attended, standing room only, by over a hundred new faces.

I loved that part. New faces.

I didn't mind a couple of glasses of red wine, either. Made me feel sophisticated.

So here's a brief write-up in the Sun Sentinal which also has a link to the President of Nova getting some face time.

If you go see the exhibition, the first painting on the left is an early canvasboard Harold Newton that I bought and sold last year. So many Harolds I sold that I wish I could have afforded to keep, this is one of them.

Then, surfing around you-tube, I found a nice little interview with Mary Ann Carroll.

And a pretty cool one featuring Robert Butler.

Then a longer one ( 7 minutes ) with both of them featured.

Enjoy them, gentle readers, I did.
