Title	Silvana II
Description	A small, expressionistic painting done in blues, grays and blacks evoking a night-time landscape.
Biographical Notes	Wes Wehr was born on April 17, 1929 in Everett, Washington and was a gifted artist in many areas. As a young man, he tutored Mark Tobey who encouraged him to paint. He documented anecdotes from his interactions with the Northwest artists in his book "The Eighth Lively Art: Conversations with Painters, Poets, Musicians, and the Wicked Witch of the West." He was appointed affiliate curator of the Burke Museum in 1978. He was the impetus for many exhibitions of the art of Helmi Juvonen and remained her friend and benefactor until her death in 1985. Wehr died on April 12, 2004.
