John Buxton Figurative 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 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...

"Dancer's Dream" Large Original Oil Painting by Robert White, Frameless Display

Located in Encino, CA

“Dancer's Dream,” an original oil on canvas by Robert K. White, is a piece for the true collector. White’s careful attention to detail and vivid use of greens, browns, and whites project from the painting, immediately capturing the viewer's attention and highlighting the artist's keen ability to capture emotion and life - all in a brushstroke. White's talent for depicting light and shadow provides the foundation for him to deliver subjects and scenes to the viewer's eye. This masterful work would make a great addition to an art collection and enhance most any home, perfect for those who have an affinity for dancers, the ballet, portraits, and color-rich works of art. In the artist’s own words, “I don’t paint what is inside of me; I paint what I see outside of me. I’m an observer. If I see something and I feel an affinity for it, something just clicks in my head. I’ll make the decision right then and there to paint that particular subject during that particular moment. It’s a perfect moment. Once something has caught my eye and I’ve heard the “perfect” click, it’s like a photograph has been taken in my mind’s eye. I only have a few days of clarity with that image. I have to start the painting quickly or else it will be gone and I will lose that image forever.” Artist: ROBERT KENNETH WHITE...
