Book excerpt: This book brings to light the private career of Thomas T. Wilson, a Pacific Northwest artist. The lyricism and originality of Wilson's work is revealed in the lush farmlands of his native Illinois, his fascination with light and space in his tree compositions, and his vibrant landscapes and cloudscapes inspired by the environment of the Pacific Northwest. Wilson is also a prolific portraitist. He captured Seattle society after the cultural impact of the 1962 World's Fair. Many of the people who were a part of this pre-Microsoft flourishing are Wilson's subjects. Generations within single families are represented in the painter's compositions. Thomas Wilson's work forms a valuable record of a society within the cultural world it helped to create.
