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;
they draw you in and say, “Come, sit, relax..."
The sunny climate of Southern California where Barton now lives with his
wife and son suits his taste and personality perfectly. The coastal setting
surrounding his home reflects his bright and lively perspective and
encourages his focus on color and beauty. Barton and his family love to
spend time searching out new tropical settings and flowers with bright vivid
colors. They scour the beachfront for villas, cabins, and archways that
capture the heart and feel of life on the beach.
