Students at The Homeschool Academy pose with their paintings created during a recent hike. The works are on display as part of the Pend Oreille Arts Council's ArtWalk 2023, which kicked off on Friday and runs until Sept. 1. "Arnica and lupines. Arnica is blooming right now at Gold Hill we noticed on our hike (my daughter and I)," Lillian Lassen said. "We also saw lupines starting to bloom at Mickinnick … Oh the beautiful wild flowers of this beautiful place."
