Landscape Paintings For Sale > Lily Pad Gallery West is set to open the exhibition “Fields of Vision: The Landscapes of Diane Washa and Peter Batchelder.” It highlights two distinct yet complementary approaches to landscape painting, generating an aesthetic conversation between representation and abstraction, between serenity and vibrancy.
Having studied fine art at Wisconsin’s Milton College and then business administration at the University of Wisconsin — Whitewater, Diane Washa has become well known for her paintings’ prioritization of mood and atmosphere, both mysterious and familiar. Using a range of softer colors, her ethereal images float between reality and memory, often showing how elements of water, sky, and land can merge in harmony.
By contrast, Peter Batchelder creates boldly colored scenes of rural scenery and architecture that features strong lines and highly defined forms. A graduate of the University of Massachusetts — Amherst, he lives in rural New Hampshire and is fascinated by the geometric shapes of barns, farmhouses, and silos and how they interrelate with fields and other open spaces.
