Lone windswept palm set against a moonlit sky, with shack and pier nearby, oil on board, signed lower right: R A McLendon. Born into a family of 14 children in Pelham, Georgia, McLendon’s young life was one of getting by on sharecropping and migrant field work. Early in his childhood the family left Georgia for Del Ray Beach, Fla., and later Fort Pierce, where they settled and McLendon befriended Alfred Hair. Roy "R A" McLendon sold his work himself from his car on the road and, like other Highwaymen, his art was popular with a wide range of clients for décor in offices. Not a fan of Hair’s 'fast painting' style, McLendon took more time with his work, and often branched out beyond traditional Highwaymen scenes of beaches and landscapes. His depiction of figures and narrative scenes – neighbors hanging laundry or a mother and child on their way to go fishing, for example – set McLendon’s work apart from the Highwaymen.
