Pretty Cool

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

“Every day, I am blown away by God’s incredible gifts. It just makes me want to paint!” – Steve Barton

Marcus Ashley Gallery is the best place to go for a taste of the art scene in the Lake Tahoe area. They regularly host special events featuring local California artists, including Steve Barton. Famous for his loose impressionistic waterscapes, Barton delivers casual elegance to his paintings, making them sought after by owners of fine dining restaurants, hotel managers, and resort spa owners.

Pretty Cool is a variation of one of Barton’s recurring subjects – the Tahoe waterfalls. It includes a stone bridge that is reminiscent of his younger days in New Hampshire when he painted covered bridges. In this piece, the artist’s fervent strokes faithfully illustrate the rapids cascading beneath the overpass and over the boulders. His trademark vibrant colors are present in the turquoise sky, lush green vegetation, azure pool, and flowers in red, white, and purple. As well, his signature deep textures transform the scene into a mystical setting.

This canvas comes to you in Barton’s trademark “Wavy” frame which highlights subtle variations in the scene when viewed from different angles.
