The Entree
Gallery at
Coolin Bay
(Priest Lake) is
currently
showing
"Expressions In
Color",
featuring the
dramatic oil
paintings of
internationally
recognized
wildlife artist
Terry Lee,
whose work can
be found in
prominent
galleries, and
in private and
corporate
collections
throughout the
world. The show,
which runs
through the end
of the season,
highlights Lee's
impressionistic
style of broad
sweeping strokes
and layers of
bold color,
resulting in
intense light
and shadow. His
use of large
canvasses and
vivid color
create a strong
sense of energy
and movement,
often causing
gallery visitors
to stop in
mid-sentence
when they come
upon his work.
Visitors at the Coolin gallery will have an opportunity to meet Lee on Saturday, September 5th from 1-4 pm, when he will be on the grounds to demonstrate his personal style of oil painting on oversized canvasses. The Entree Gallery, 379 Bay View Road, Priest Lake, Idaho. Open daily at 10 am. 208.443.2002. |
