“I love beachfront villas… places you imagine to visit.” - Steve Barton
When in Tahoe: Investigate the secrets of the Sierras. Relish the commanding sky view from suspended gondolas. Explore the wonders of Emerald Bay. And spend an hour or more in Steve Barton art appreciation at the Marcus Ashley Gallery. The artist’s oil paintings of coastal settings are worthy of prime space on the walls of resorts, spas, hotels, and old-world taverns.
Tropical Paradise
is a testament to Barton’s high caliber loose impressionistic style. Set in his signature serene life on the beach motif, it showcases his distinct vision of vivid and valiant dyes. The sky flaunts an unbelievable mix of mauve, indigo, mustard, gold, and flamingo. Prominent moss green palm trees tower above sangria flowers. From a distance, the roof of a quaint villa resonates with the ocean’s cyan glow. Fearlessly rendered in the painter’s daring strokes and profound consistency, the scene adopts a transcendent flavor.
This piece comes to you in the trademark “Wavy” frame that Barton himself created. The unusual shape duplicates the rise and fall of the sea, complementing the scenery encased within.
