Cozy Beach is a lyrical prose in oil, a celebration of nature’s unparalleled dyes. The focal point is a slightly open large wooden double-door. It provides a glimpse of the ocean with its foamy shore and echoes the bright red hue of the blooms lining the sandy pathway. A bicycle leans against two palm trees beside a rustic cottage. Indeed, the loose impressionistic scene is the epitome of Barton’s trademark laid-back life on the beach.

This piece demonstrates the dreamlike quality signature of the painter. It comes to you in the “Wavy” frame he invented. The extraordinary structure harkens to the ocean’s ebb and flow, casting natural shadows on the setting and subtly changing its tone at different angles.
