Beyond these rural scenes, he painted many portraits of local dignitaries and family members. While he primarily worked in oil-on-board or oil-on-canvas, his artistic range extended to pastels and various etching methods.

MacDonald’s formal training began at the Ontario School of Art and continued at the Albright School of Art in Buffalo, New York, and the School of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. His career saw significant international exposure, including exhibitions at the British Empire Exhibition at Wembley and the New York World's Fair. In 1918, he was commissioned as a war artist to document Canada's war effort, producing the Women in War Series, which illustrates women supporting food gathering during the war.
