Smugglers Cove

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

“I am amazed by the palm trees in California – the shadows they cast, the sounds they make.” – Steve Barton

Marcus Ashley Gallery routinely hosts live events where tourists and regular guests can meet and greet local artists from California and Nevada. The global fanbase of Steve Barton art can look forward to their favorite loose impressionistic painter in action, secure his autograph, and even take a few photos. A Southern California resident, Barton has built a solid reputation within art circles for his unique renditions of coastal landscapes. They are the first choice of patrons in the hunt for bright and cheery paintings to enliven their plain, bare or monochromatic spaces.

Smugglers Cove is an exuberant representative of this collection. The title demonstrates the artist’s playful imagination as he interprets the scene with his signature vibrant colors. A charming cottage built on the light cream sand seems to be waiting to welcome the sailboat that can be seen approaching on the glistening waters. Barton’s treasured palm trees and colorful blooms cast individual shadows in his trademark fierce brushstrokes. With a richly textured loose impressionistic style, his recurring subject matter of the tranquil life on the beach takes on a dreamlike quality.

This oil on canvas comes to you in Barton’s very own creation, the “Wavy” frame.
