10. Intermodal Transit Station
8th Street and Avenue D
The west wall of the Intermodal Transit Station features 26 engraved plaques that list the names of each artist mounted on a huge mosaic of a colorful Royal Poinciana tree, which was painted by many of the Highwaymen artists in their landscape scenes.
Harold Newton (1934-1994) was a central and founding member of the loose-knit group known as the Florida Highwaymen. Despite his lack of formal training, Newton had an exceptional ability to capture the subtlety and variety of Florida’s coastlines and wetlands. His oil paintings, once sold door-to-door for very modest sums, now bring in the tens of thousands, depending on the scene, composition, and quality.
