Jean Hirons, C & O Canal, Georgetown, #5, pastel, 20 x 24.
Marshes, pelicans, and cherry blossoms, oh my! In the following pages, we present painters and sculptors who portray quintessential scenes beyond the West, from flowering pink magnolia trees to New England shore houses dusted in snow. In styles ranging from impressionistic to realistic, their works also depict Midwestern corner markets, Manhattan crosswalks, and Maine crab docks. You’ll find portrayals of sights across the Atlantic, too, including lush gardens in Leeds, glittering Venetian canals, and tiny French crêpe shops. For a taste of the beauty and verve that thrums beyond the West, we invite you to explore this vibrant group of fine artists.
