Washington State has a diverse landscape cutlture that divides the state from East to West. The dry weather of Eastern Washington provides rolling hills, sage brush and winter wheat with powerful rivers passing through basalt canyons and lush riverbanks.
Liang Wei's paintings of Eastern Washington offer long shadows, moody and thoughtful days and brilliant skies. He captures the essence of Eastern Washington's being in his new paintings that reflect a stark contrast to those of his counterpart this month, Pat Tolle.
Pat Tolle's new works reflect the natural beauty of Western Washington's fertile and abundant farm land soaked with rain and populated with bright and brilliant colors.
The Skagit Valley of Northwest Washington is a favorite site for Tolle to utilize her aerial landscape perspectives. Brightly colored flower fields abstracting the landscape with slow meandering rivers breaking up the hard edges of the scene are predominately portrayed as a stark contrast to Liang Wei's work.
As with any Ying and Yang you will find a
compelling connection between the East and West Landscape of Washington State, yet be facinated by their dissimilar appearances. |
