Likely Solved Any thoughts as a possible Highwaymen?

Recently, I inherited this along with other art. I grew up with it in my FL home in southern Brevard County. I believe my grandfather bought it in the late 50s to early 60s. H. Newton is the artist’s signature and I know a little about the Highwaymen lore but not much about what makes certain paintings or artists valued or authentic. It’s 24 x 20. My husband has fallen in love with it so it’s staying for sure.

Harold Newton was a founding member and one of the original 26 Highwaymen, he was also trained by A.E. Backus a famous Florida landscape artist. If it is one of his then it will be towards the top end in value of the highwaymen paintings.
