Treasured Times

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

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

“The fairest picture the whole world affords” was the felicitous tribute to Lake Tahoe by Mark Twain. Such is the sublime beauty where the basin lies – one that inspires artists in California and Nevada. The best of these talents exhibit their work at the Marcus Ashley Fine Art Gallery. And there, one will find the most complete collection of Steve Barton art, coastal landscape paintings in lifelike tints which grace the walls of vacation destinations all over the world.

Smitten by the West Coast charm, Barton made the move from New Hampshire to make Southern California his home. The bucolic life on the beach is his signature theme, depicted in dreamlike quality as in this piece entitled Treasured Times. With the artist’s exceptional strokes and textures, bright red vies for dominance along with graceful palm trees, and both emerge winners. Two easy chairs on the patio of an old-fashioned abode spur an idle hour or two. And yet, the warm cream sand invites the feet to frolic and get wet in the crystalline waters.

This loose impressionistic painting comes to you in Barton’s trademark “Wavy” frame.
