“Galleries in any city can do well with my art because in this fast paced world, my paintings are relaxing.” - Steve Barton
Marcus Ashley Fine Art Gallery is the proud host to the complete collection of
Steve Barton art
. Regarded as one of Southern California’s living legends, Barton is widely known for his coastal landscape paintings mounted on “Wavy” frames. The undulating shape is his own invention and unlike any other. It complements the artist’s relaxing sceneries which impart casual elegance into plain and simple spaces.
Picnic in Paradise
is one perfect example. Consistent with Barton’s recurring theme of the idyllic life on the beach, this piece is an open invitation to rest one’s weary body, mind, and soul. A hammock hangs between two tree branches while an old-fashioned wooden table awaits the occupants of the cottage beside it. Indeed, dining with loved ones in the shade of a robust palm tree amid brightly colored flowers and a view of the sea is paradise. And with the artist’s impassioned strokes and heartfelt textures, the mood becomes magical.
This loose impressionistic canvas is also available in the Marcus Ashley Online Gallery.
