Six abstract paintings go up at LR

Lucinda Parker, an abstract artist from Portland, Oregon, was here June 21 as six of her paintings were hung at various places in the Lake Roosevelt school building. Two of the 5-foot by 9-foot paintings went up in each cafeteria, and one in each of the main stairwells. Parker was selected by a local committee and commissioned through the Washington State Arts Commission to provide art for the new school complex. Shown here is Parker with her "Two Turkeys" painting. Each of the paintings feature sayings on the frame that enable viewers to expand their awareness of what is in the painting. A special event scheduled for this fall will allow both students and parents to see the six paintings. - Roger Lucas photo
