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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs in her popular\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold a-text-italic\"\u003eColors of the West\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eand\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold a-text-italic\"\u003eBirds of the West\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mountaineer Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67834718355535,"sku":"zuu1792651599077","price":16.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0712\/8914\/3375\/files\/trees-of-the-west_1.png?v=1792651606","url":"https:\/\/maxidressclad.shop\/products\/trees-of-the-west","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
