Sam Newton (American, 1948-) Title - River Moonlight. Oil on canvas Florida Highway painting. Signed lower left, S. Newton. The borders of the painting had slight paint loss from where the painting had adhered to the frame, consequently when removed from the frame it required inpainting around the edges of the painting. We replaced the frame with a Pecky Cypress frame of the period which enhances the work. Painting measures 16 inches high, 12.2 inches wide. Frame measures 23.7 inches high, 19.7 inches wide. Touch up visible with UV light. The majority of the painting is in good condition.
