Richard Lee Barton has been an artist for over forty years and has much experience. Please look around this website and realize how much art can complement your home or office, it gives character to a room. When you see something to your taste then it is also possible to make a studio visit, if desired, the work can be delivered.

I would like to invite you to have a good look to the work of Richard Lee Barton, his work is of great significance. Creativity can be a healing effect. Both in someone`s personal life but also in a broader sense. A painting can be a good way to contribute to a positive atmosphere in a room, it can also be inspiring.

The artist is often in his life trying to find a balance. On one side the freedom to make what he wants and on the other side the boundaries of existence. Almost limitless freedom can arise in case of a clear delineation of boundaries. Freedom in submission.

In the time of Vincent van Gogh, no one could ever think that his work would be of great importance. The drama of his life and the great expressiveness of his work, however, proved more important than anyone ever imagined. The colors and the forms that shape his work can never be forgotten and determined the developments in modern art. In his time people responded often dismissive, the work was different on what was common at that time. There are other examples of artists of course, whose work, especially after their lives became more appreciated than during their lifetime.

A true artist must be creatively active. First is the creation of art a basic necessity of life. Secondly, he must really bring something new. With the renewal in his work, he adds something to the spirit, which shapes and colors affect the subconscious. The story behind his work determines its importance. It`s about whether he really has something to say. Then with his art he tells a story that otherwise is difficult to express in words.

You can tell how hard that something is of great importance, such as art. People can still walk past, preoccupied with their own concerns. Sometimes when the prices soar an artist often gets more attention.

The artist pays a price in any case. His life is often romanticized, but in reality it is usually a form of tightrope without a net. Vincent van Gogh will long live on in people`s minds. We wished he had received that valuation during his lifetime.

Or as Harriët Appel says about four hundred works of her deceased husband who were found lately: "The financial value is difficult to estimate, but the sentimental value is priceless."

This also applies to the works of Richard Lee Barton. His talent was apparent at a very young age. He wanted to be nothing more than a painter and lives thus in Europe. The impressionistic landscapes he made ​​in the early years have, over a more expressionistic way of painting, made ​​way for abstract expressionism. Meanwhile he has a colorful life behind him with many ups and downs. Through all his perseverance he has come on top every time and he has built a beautiful collection. The philosophy behind the work is of great importance. Essential is the power of positive thinking and confidence. His faith has brought him where he is now.
Admire the work, in all its beauty it will not let you go, it shows a great compassion. Richard Lee Barton creates a world that is worth the effort, in which things and people come into their own, happiness still exists and colors speak.

This has much to do with the story behind his work, he really has something to say, moreover, he does so in a particularly powerful way. His faith, positive thinking, they are all powerful forces that make him successful, an example for many.
