The Good Stuff Arts features work by over 30 local, talented gallery artists. Our new show, “Water Reflections” has new exciting art works in a wide variety of media. Our featured artist for July is Caroline Garland, an Anacortes oil & pastel impressionistic artist who loves Western Washington scenes. Having moved here from Alaska, Caroline also enjoys painting Alaskan scenes in cool, crisp color hues. Come enjoy her free Demo at 6:30 on Art Walk night July 6. Store hours M-F 10 - 5; Sat 10 - 4; Sun 10-3.

602 Commercial Ave., Red Salon Aveda

Red Salon Aveda is excited to welcome local artist, Terry MacDonald. Terry is an Anacortes artist who began her painting journey after a career in broadcasting. Usually painting in acrylic, her loose expressive style combines with bright vivid colors to create what many describe as “happy art.” She has two bodies of work. Many collectors know her whimsical birds, animals and florals. Through her acrylic and mixed media abstracts, she strives to convey joy and positive images through exuberant brush work, line, and vibrating color.

420 Commercial Ave., Scott Milo Gallery

The gallery welcomes new work in acrylic mixed media paintings by Anne Martin McCool. McCool’s new meditation series is a must see for all her collectors. Also showing are hand pulled, brightly colored, monotype prints by Marie Powell, acrylics by Cynthia Richardson, oils by Matt Dollahite and pastels by Amanda Houston.

419 Commercial Ave., The Majestic Inn and Spa

Lois Judd, our July artist, will return to the Majestic Inn with her paintings and mosaics. Both mediums share similar subjects: people, landscapes, and everyday objects. A dynamic contrast in surfaces can be seen in the glitter of glass and the layering of paint.
