Neill displays Jacqueline Daisley oil paintings

Neill Library in Pullman will exhibit oil paintings by local artist Jacqueline Daisley who is inspired by the vibrant colors of the Palouse region as she depicts farm scenes, old trucks and landscapes.

One of Daisley's works was selected for the 2012 Lentil Festival poster.

She notes painting is her way of preserving the Palouse.

"Once the building is gone, the history is gone. When you paint you are preserving that history of what it used to be like. If I can preserve the past with a painting, then that's a good deed."

The exhibit runs through Aug. 31....
