“I am a second generation artist and grew up on oils. Even as I continue to grow as an artist, [my] old habits never die.” - Steve Barton
For the past 18 years, Marcus Ashley Gallery has been curating a wide array of magnificent paintings from local, national, and international artists. Today, it is recognized as one of Lake Tahoe’s premier fine art galleries. Within its museum-like showroom, one will find the largest repertoire of Steve Barton art. These pieces of coastal sceneries are ideal conversation pieces in vacation destinations and fine dining restaurants.
Morning Light
whispers the secrets of the mystical hour when night surrenders its dark cloak making way for a dazzling display of a wide spectrum of reds and yellows - colors that the artist is passionate about. A cozy cottage in pastel shades rests peacefully on the seashore, surrounded by brightly colored flowers and evergreen palm trees. Ocean waves lap the shore while they can before the low tide takes over.
In this loose impressionistic image, Barton illustrates his recurring concept of the calm life on the beach. Through his signature fiery brushstrokes and fervent textures, the scene takes on a dreamlike mood.
