Last night, the Gallery was buzzing with excitement as we hosted the highly anticipated reception for R. L. Lewis, a celebrated member of the renowned Highwaymen. Over a dozen of Lewis’s breathtaking landscapes were on display and available for purchase, capturing the natural beauty and cultural essence of Florida in vivid colors and rich textures.
The evening was a resounding success, with a packed house of art enthusiasts eager to witness a master at work. R. L. Lewis delighted attendees by painting a live landscape, showcasing his extraordinary talent and creative process. Meanwhile, his son, Robert Lewis III, captivated the crowd with a historical overview of the Highwaymen, sharing fascinating stories about the group’s origins and their impact on the art world.
Guests enjoyed a delightful array of heavy hors d’oeuvres as they mingled, engaged in lively conversations, and asked questions about the art and the artist. The atmosphere was electric, filled with admiration and appreciation for the legacy of the Highwaymen and the enduring beauty of their work.
We are pleased to announce that we still have a handful of R. L. Lewis’s stunning paintings available for purchase at the gallery for one week only. If you missed the reception or are interested in acquiring one of them, please contact us for a price list or stop by the gallery to see them in person.
Thank you to everyone who attended and made the evening a memorable celebration of art and history. Stay tuned for more exciting events at Gateway Art Gallery!
