Gouache on card, signed lower right, 11 1/4" x 14 3/4" sight, matted and framed to 16 1/4" x 20 1/4", under glass.  Probably painted in the late 1960's or early 1970's. 

Barton was born and raised in Los Angeles and attended the University of California.  In 1953 she and her husband moved to Paris, then to the countryside west of Paris about a decade later.  Barton worked as a factory worker, salesperson and an antique dealer before discovering painting in 1964, when she was inspired by the natural beauty of her new home and the primitive paintings she'd see in her travels.  Her early paintings, such as the present example, focus on the subtle levels and the forms of the landscape around her, blending intricate patterns into primitive forms.
