From the Valdosta Daily Times, by Dean Poling: Valdosta, Ga.
"With a palette knife, artist Nina D. Buxton shapes the seas and the ships that sail them. Buxton's ships are massive plows of form that cut through her painted waters as surely as her palette knife slices through her canvas' oils. ...There are many striking features to Buxton's ships but the most outstanding dichotomy of her work is her loose painterly style and the intricate detail with which she rigs her Coast Guard vessels. Such detail is usually reserved for more illustrative and realistic renderings, but she captures these intricacies while maintaining a loose, nigh impressionistic approach."
From Daytona Beach News-Tribune, by Josh Sweigert: Flagler County, Fl
She paints with a palette knife and cuts and smears the paint with artistic precision. ...Buxton's "architectural work using a palette knife is simply exceptional," said Sylvia Cashion Saul with the Florida chapter of the National Museum of Women in the Arts."
From The Palm Beach Focus: Palm Beach, Fl.
"Architecture is a favorite art subject for Nina Buxton.
Ornate iron gates, a sweeping staircase or a series of arches over a beautiful
courtyard beckon you to enter. These are paintings you could live with
forever."
From the Seattle Times:
"Now, at long last, we have a winner, our discovery
is Nina D. Buxton a comparative newcomer to Seattle. She is versatile,
extremely talented."
From the Kona Torch, Kailua - Kona Hawaii:
"Nina's subdued coloring, energetic outline,
different treatment of every scene as it individually requires, are impressive
indeed."
From the Orlando Sentinel Star:
"Her paintings reflect what she sees - a colorful world of
bright, gently stylized, refreshing works influenced by the impressionists. Her non-abstract canvasses are classical, she uses the
palette knife entirely
and oils to achieve sun-kissed effects."
From Janet Hutchinson - Elliot Museum Hutchinson
Island, Fl:
"Mrs. Buxton, in my opinion, is one of the better
contemporary artists. Her perspective and composition are excellent. Her
palette is colorful and forceful without being superficially aggressive."
From the Mandarin News: by Beverly Fleming:
"Buxton's diverse background and training is reflected in
her oil and palette knife paintings. They are bold and brilliant with a
distinctive textured look, yet the scenes and gardens can be soft and
alluring."
