Island Hideaway

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

“I moved to Southern California in search of new ideas. This changed my perspective, my color palette, and my subject matter.” – Steve Barton

Within its brick and mortar walls, Marcus Ashley Fine Art Gallery exhibits the most comprehensive trove of Steve Barton art. Discriminating collectors and the uninitiated alike will find gratification in these loose impressionistic paintings. Each one deserves prime space on the wall of any receiving room, from private dwellings to luxury hotels.

Island Hideaway is an enchanting representation of Barton’s signature theme, the undisturbed life on the beach. The scene offers all things that beguile city dwellers looking for a summer retreat – crystal clear sky, a calm ocean, fine sand, dancing palm trees, and the splendor of vibrant flowers in varying hues. Lounging on a couple of wooden easy chairs by the seashore and spending quiet evenings in a charming cottage are treats to look forward to. Barton captures the glowing colors in his trademark generous brushstrokes and ardent textures.

This dreamlike scenery comes to you in the “Wavy” frame, a hallmark of all Barton paintings. Its extraordinary contours shed natural shadows on the painting, changing its tones ever so subtly as one views it from varying perspectives.
