"My inspiration is always nature,
it provides perfect design,
if I pay attention." ~ Marcia McDonald

When Marcia paints a landscape, her inspiration is not the scene, but rather the composition of the light and dark in the shapes, more of a design or pattern, than a painting of the actual scene. She tries to stay away from worrying about getting the colors just right or making sure the depth of field is correct. When painting an abstract, it is more about the colors and the way they can move the eye around the painting. How they interact with each other, warm against cool, intense next to muted or sharp edges relating to soft edges. With an abstract painting she tries to solicit an emotion using color.

Stop by Pottery Place Plus for the First Friday Reception on July 5 from 5-8pm to meet Marcia in person!

The Liberty Gallery’s first group photography show puts the focus on the natural world in and around the Pacific Northwest. The viewpoints range from incredibly closeup detail to wide and panoramic; from underwater to the highest peaks; from relics of man’s presence to intimate portraits of the animals who call the landscape home.

The Liberty Gallery is closed on the first Friday in July because of the July 4th holiday. The reception for the artists will take place on the second Friday on July 11th from 5pm – 8:30pm.

"Grow Like a Tree" is a book for curious children of all ages, exploring the life cycle of trees and the role forest fires play in this process. Each illustration is a collage of paper cutouts painted with foraged ink on watercolor paper. The foraged materials include copper, sumac, horse chestnut, chokecherries, and a railroad spike. The items were found on the forest floor and throughout the urban jungle. The goal for the book & exhibition is to inspire everyone to dwell in wonder at the lifeworld around them. Opening Reception: May 2, 5-8p

These artists explore the use of common, sometimes discarded materials to compose installations or create new objects in Found, an exhibition at Terrain Gallery. The work in this show considers that which we might not have previously noticed or have forgotten, and suggests that a deeper looking honors the physical world, quietly informing us of our place in it.

First Friday at Entropy Gallery (101 N Stevens), featuring local artist Abe Kenney’s solo exhibition “It’s Just a Game” and his album release party for “Chess Suite.” An art show centered on the game of chess and it’s many cultural and allegorical entwinements. Reception with live music on First Friday, July 4th, from 5-9pm. Art exhibition runs through July.

The Buddha encouraged us to brighten the mind through meditating on the four Divine Abodes (brahmavihāras) of loving-kindness (mettā), compassion (karuṇā), empathetic joy (muditā), and equanimity (upekkhā). By focusing on the two supplementary qualities of compassion—the heart’s response to others’ suffering—and empathetic joy—its response to others’ happiness, we broaden our capacity to meet all circumstances, internal and external, with love.
