"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.

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.

Join instructors Nadia Hitchcock and Nanette Cloud for a standalone session focused on observing the human form and developing your drawing skills. You get to explore the art of figure drawing in a relaxed, supportive setting with no long-term commitment. All experience levels welcomed.

In honor of the return of the Diamond Match Bateau to Priest Lake, on July 17th Priest Lake Museum historian Kris Runberg Smith examines the role of the boat during the annual Priest River log drives. Last summer, the Museum of North Idaho, working with the Priest Lake Museum and Priest Lake State Park, found a fitting home for the bateau at Indian Creek Campground. The campground was the site of a Diamond Match Logging Camp.
