She pays homage to them through her art, working in many different media, each revealing different aspects of these stalwart companions: crisp lines, imposing silhouettes, and the subtle-or sometimes brilliant--hues of foliage. Hashimoto also delves into the process of creating art, discussing the mediums she used in the featured pieces and the reasons she chose them, as well as sidebars with tips and techniques. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e As in her popular \u003ci\u003eColors of the West\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eBirds of the West\u003c\/i\u003e, Hashimoto emphasizes her personal experiences with nature, telling stories about her encounters with trees everywhere from her backyard to national parks and forests throughout the West. She focuses primarily on native trees, rather than cultivars, with a special interest in 46 major species found across the region, ranging from the stately Coast redwoods to the diminutive but distinctive Fishhook Barrel Cactus. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Rooted in place, trees offer endless opportunities for observation, admiration, relaxation, and inspiration. \u003ci\u003eTrees of the West\u003c\/i\u003e invites us to pause and appreciate these sentinels in all their quiet glory.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 192\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.81 x 9.18 x 7.31 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 23, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48348210659576,"sku":"9781680513387","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0698\/5629\/7208\/files\/TEdlOHVJdG9hK205N3gvbC8zeVZRUT09.webp?v=1778266229","url":"https:\/\/barneysbooksellers.com\/products\/trees-of-the-west-an-artists-guide-hardcover","provider":"Barney's Book Sellers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
