Make Waves

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

“I describe my work as impressionistic, with bold colors, broad brush strokes, and thick texture.” – Steve Barton

Most tourists to Lake Tahoe and the surrounding regions of Northern California, the Sierra Foothills, and Las Vegas are drawn to visit Heavenly Village. They include private art collectors and transient lodging owners from different parts of the world. In this bustling shopping district stands Marcus Ashley Gallery, a museum-like showroom that features a large collection of Steve Barton art.

One of these loose impressionistic paintings is Make Waves, which captures Barton’s trademark peaceful life on the beach with an almost mythical tone. The centerpiece in the setting is a surfboard, hence the title. Reclining against the wall of a modest villa, it catches the playful shadows of palm trees, another Barton signature. A lifeguard’s post and a picket fence are playfully added to the artist’s regulars of sand, sea, sky, and flowers in full bloom. This intimate scene is presented in Barton’s hallmark, bright colors, and exceptional strokes and textures.
