Black Diamonds

Black Diamonds (Limited Edition) Steve Barton Art in “Wavy” Frame From World-Renowned Painter Available at Marcus Ashley Gallery in South Lake Tahoe

“I find myself constantly inspired by the magic of the Sierra Nevadas and South Lake Tahoe.” – Steve Barton

Marcus Ashley Fine Art Gallery takes pride in being called the home of a comprehensive Steve Barton art trove, both within its brick and mortar walls and online. Discerning collectors and enthusiasts in the hunt for coastal landscapes will find satisfaction in these pieces. Each one is an ideal conversation piece on the walls of private and public receiving rooms.

Black Diamonds is a rare display of black and white in a Barton painting. Yet it remains in the true form a symbol of his loose impressionistic style of art imitating life. As with 80% of his work, this portrayal of the peaceful life on the beach features sand, sea, and sky enshrined within a foreground of palm trees and flowers. And the bold red and blue strokes, though few, are certainly Barton-esque.

This piece retains the dreamlike quality trademark of the painter. It comes to you in his signature Wavy frame. The extraordinary shape reminds one of the ocean’s movements, casting natural shadows on the scene and subtly changing it at different angles.
