 Known
for his strong brush strokes, rich textures, and vibrant colors,
Barton brings a sense of joy and peace to each of his paintings.
Barton devotes himself to each work in progress, to create a
feeling of warmth & comfort. They echo the emotions and the desire
for a life lived to the fullest.
For Barton, painting is a way
of life. He loves to spend spare moments combing areas for
inspiration to use in future paintings. Though the subjects of his
paintings vary, the casual elegance is consistent.The relaxed
sunny climate of Southern California where Barton now lives with
his wife and son suits his taste and personality. The coastal
setting surrounding his home reflects his bright and lively
perspective and encourages a focus on color and beauty.
Each painting Barton does reveals something about him; he has a
casual, engaging personality and is extremely enthusiastic about
being a painter.
Originally from New Hampshire, Barton’s success as an artist
began early. He was eight when his love for art began. His mother,
and oil painter herself, inspired and encouraged him to paint.
After studying at Rhode Island School of Design, Barton desired to
broaden his search for subject matter. He traveled to the West
Coast, where his paintings took on what we know them to be today. Each
of Barton’s paintings capture more then just the viewer's gaze.
They are times remembered and days to come; they stop time, and
soften your heart and draw you in and say,“Come, sit, relax”.
