John Buxton 'The Fording Place'
t is summer in Iroquois territory and the tribe has set up their temporary camp on the banks of a river, where the fish and game are plentiful. At the end of the season the men and women will pack up their huts and move to higher ground, where the winter floods will not reach them.
Content that their work in the camp is done, a group of men set out across the river to hunt and continue the day's chores. Buxton's realistic depictions of everyday life in the 18th century make thoughtful gifts to a history buff or historical art collector.

John Buxton 'Coming to Trade'
John Buxton, "Artist of Our Heritage," engages both history buffs and art lovers alike with each new Fine Art Limited Edition. His unique combination of detailed historical accuracy and artistic mastery brings the past to life as few others can. In Coming to Trade, Buxton portrays the co-existence between the French and Native Americans. "This painting an iconic depiction of what drew both sides to tolerate the other in what came to be known as the fur trade," Buxton says. "Furs from the new world helped finance French expansion and trade items enhanced the living standard of the native nations. Bows and arrows were no longer the preferred hunting method and French cutlery replaced stone axes and knives. Cooking pots, needles and even wire soon became highly prized among the Indians as they became slightly more European. French traders, many of whom lived among the Indians, changed as well. They readily accepted native culture and custom-to the extent that it was difficult to distinguish a Frenchman from his native ally. Though they tried, Jesuit priests were not quite as successful at transforming natives into cultured, God-fearing Frenchmen."

John Buxton 'No Sign of Hostiles'
With each new Fine Art Limited Edition, John Buxton, "Artist of Our Heritage," engages a new collector base of history buffs and art lovers alike. Buxton's detailed historical accuracy and artistic mastery bring the past to life. In this latest releasehe portrays the tenuous coexistence between the original inhabitants of this new nation and the encroaching Europeans. "Although loyalties and friendship did exist between some, there were always those allied to other interests - waiting to do harm," says Buxton. "No one was exempt from sudden harassment or deadly force, and groups took advantage of hit and run tactics - striking with surprise. An ambush of the unsuspecting often resulted in quick plunder, hostages taken and a bloody aftermath. If enough men could be gathered before their trail cooled, the raiders would be tracked. Some of these pursuits terminated in another ambush, while occasionally the tracking became too difficult and the trail was lost, as shown in this painting."

John Buxton 'He Returns Victorious - 1783'
The General and Madame came home on Christmas Eve, and such a racket the servants made, for they were glad of their coming!" That lively account of George and Martha Washington's post-war return to Mount Vernon was one of many contemporary sources John drew upon to bring this stirring scene to life. "I went to Mount Vernon in winter," he says, "and shot many rolls of film at every hour of the afternoon, looking for the most dramatic light. The roof is white now, but back then the shingles were red, so for a visual counterpoint I took the liberty of giving Washington a bold red manteau. You'll notice there are no wreaths, candles or other festive display to greet the general this Christmas Eve. Decorating for the holidays did not become an established American tradition until the 19th century." Stretched size: 34"w x 15"h, published from the artist's original oil painting. 100 signed by the artist and consecutively numbered.

They are shown here in Jefferson's rented room in the Graff House (located at Seventh and Market in Philadelphia), where his guiding vision was instrumental in developing the cornerstone of our government. Standing (left to right) are Robert Livingston (NY), Roger Sherman (CT), Thomas Jefferson (VA), and John Adams (MA), with Benjamin Franklin (PA) seated at the table.

John Buxton 'Fatherly Advice'
From historical artist John Buxton comes a suite of two paintings that focus on family life in colonial times; a daughter's pride in her father and a father's passing of wisdom to his sons.
The officer who appears in both images is in the 60th Royal Americans during the French and Indian War period. The group was made up of Europeans who came to the colonies circa 1755.
In A Daughter's Touch, a girl helps straighten her father's uniform as to make sure he looks his best. In Fatherly Advice, the same officer advises a pair of sons.
John Buxton is known for his historical art and for the painstaking research he puts into recreating specific scenes and battles. What is interesting about this pair of paintings is that the specific stories are left to the viewer's imagination. Is the officer in A Daughter's Touch preparing for battle, or is this a festive occasion? Are the two young men in Fatherly Advice learning strategies of war, or is he possibly sharing a life lesson?
