John Buxton Paintings

John Buxton's 31 years as a successful illustrator has evolved into these past 20 + years as an honored Fine Artist . Painting scenes inspired by the 18th century Wilderness Frontier. A frontier that influenced the development and relations of "The New World "; it's people and what would become a New Nation.

There have been many awards and accomplishments along his 55 year career. John's work is recognized in the Western Art genre. Perhaps because in the early years of European settlement ... the "West"...did not yet extend beyond the eastern mountain range or the Mississippi River. This allows his paintings to be exhibited at The Masters Of The American West Show at the Autry Museum each year. The Eiteljorg Museum of Indianapolis, also exhibits his paintings in it's Quest For The West Show annually. History Meets The Arts show, in Gettysburg, PA, will have it's 21 year show for 2018. Buxton's artwork has been shown there from it's beginning. Settlers West Gallery's American Miniatures Show, every February, is Buxton's only gallery show. Simply because of the time it takes to properly research and paint for the annual museum shows and yearly commissions.

After 31 years of painting almost every subject; using numerous styles and techniques to please countless clients ... why Historical Art now? Perhaps, because his ancestors were among this countries first settlers? They arrived in the 15th century as a part of first permanent English Colony in North America.... Jamestown. (check your history books) Perhaps John was somehow ordained to become a painter of Frontier life. The life that his ancestors experienced? NAAAA, not really. It was only recently that he learned of his family connection to the Jamestown Colony... and was amazed & honored.

Regardless, what could be more exciting than putting together 250-year-old painted scenes of Colonial figures, horses, wagons, landscapes, forts & cabins? It keeps the Old Geezer Artist out of trouble, happy, and very grateful for the opportunity to paint every day & loving every minute!

Born in 1939 in Oxford, NC . Attended UNC before graduating with a BPA degree from Art Center College of Design in CA. His Illustration career began in Detroit, through Cleveland & settled in Pittsburgh @ Pitt Studios where he married the cute little receptionist. Had two children, Bryan & Megan. Now he & Noralee (the cute receptionist) have five grandchildren

Bark Canoe TLC

By John Buxton

Located in Pasadena, CA

Provenance Acquired by the gallery directly from the artist Signed J. Buxton @ 2018" on lower left. UNFRAMED: 9" x 12" FRAMED: 15" x 18" x 2.3" Artist Statement “This tender loving care is a necessary maintenance chore for these Native Iroquois women. It enhances the longevity of these delicate water craft. Their hulls of birch bark are thin and easily punctured. Heated resin is used to patch problem areas. Bark patches can be sewn, using Spruce roots, and resined over larger holes. These roots are also used to lash around gunnel, bow & stern. These canoes are extremely light weight, easily maneuverable, and capable of carrying heavy loads. I have one and it can be lifted with one hand and is a joy to paddle.” —John Buxton...

Glendun River in Northern Ireland, Oil on Canvas by 20th Century Artist, 1985

By Manson Blair

Located in Preston, GB

Glendun River in Northern Ireland, Oil on Canvas, Circa 1985, by 20th Century Irish Artist, Manson Blair. Art measures 16 x 12 inches Frame measures 20 x 16 inches A beautifully observed Irish landscape capturing the quiet beauty of the Glendun River, one of the celebrated Glens of Antrim in Northern Ireland. Bathed in soft natural light, the composition leads the eye gently along the tranquil river towards the rolling hills beyond, where subtle variations of greens, ochres and silvery blues evoke the ever changing atmosphere of the Irish countryside. Delicately painted winter trees frame the scene, while carefully rendered rocks and reflections bring a remarkable sense of depth, balance and serenity. Manson Blair demonstrates a refined command of realism, combining confident brushwork with an understated palette that perfectly captures the peaceful character of this unspoilt landscape. The painting possesses a timeless elegance, making it equally suited to both traditional and contemporary interiors. Works depicting the iconic scenery of County Antrim continue to enjoy enduring appeal among collectors of Irish art, particularly those seeking authentic representations of Northern Ireland's celebrated natural beauty. Presented in an elegant gilt frame, this charming original oil painting offers both decorative sophistication and lasting investment appeal, embodying the tranquillity and enduring romance of one of Ireland's most picturesque river valleys. Artist: Manson Blair Title: Glendun River, Northern Ireland Medium: Oil on Canvas Date: Circa 1985 Art Size: 16 × 12 inches (40.6 × 30.5 cm) Frame Size: 20 × 16 inches (50.8 × 40.6 cm) Condition: Presented in excellent condition and housed in an attractive gilt frame, ready to hang. This peaceful composition would make an exceptional addition to any collection of Irish landscape painting, offering a calming focal point and celebrating the timeless beauty of the Glens of Antrim. Nestled within the renowned Glens of Antrim, Glen Dun is celebrated for its unspoilt natural beauty, where rolling green hills descend through a secluded valley towards the dramatic Antrim coastline. Winding roads, ancient stone walls, rushing streams and native woodland create a landscape of remarkable tranquillity, while ever changing light and seasonal colour lend the glen an enduring sense of atmosphere. Less visited than some of its neighbouring glens, Glen Dun retains a peaceful, timeless character that has long inspired artists seeking to capture the quiet majesty and rugged beauty of Northern Ireland's countryside. Its combination of sweeping vistas, rich textures and serene isolation makes it one of the most picturesque and evocative landscapes in County Antrim. Born in 1947 near Ballyclare in Northern Ireland, Manson developed a passion for art early on in life. With a particular love for the Irish coastline, mountain ranges and lakes, Blair began his artistic career in earnest in the early 1970’s. His work has been influenced by great landscape artists such as Frank McKelvey...
