November 2018 Gallery Walk

The November First Friday Artwalk is Friday, November 1, from 6 – 9 pm.

620 Commercial Ave., Burton Jewelers

With our November Show, “Two Weeks in Provence”, we present a new facet of Linda Henley’s work.  We all appreciate her lovely watercolors of wildflowers, but this departure is inspired by her visit last June to the South of France. These works bring brightness to our Autumn days.  Refreshments will be served.

604 Commercial Ave., The Good Stuff Arts

THE GOOD STUFF ARTS GALLERY presents SUZANNE POWERS, OIL ARTIST, as the Featured Artist for November. As an artist, Suzanne draws inspiration from the natural world, its power and fragility.  Connecting with her surroundings, she captures in plein air and studio painting the light and feeling of a space, and transforms her personal response to the landscape into color, light and form. Suzanne will demonstrate from 6:30 - 8:30 pm her OIL style, techniques, and tips.  Our Gallery Artists have painted new pieces for the “WHY NW?” juried show. So special for your NW home!   Holiday gifts, Art Cards & Ornaments already arriving. Hours: M-F: 10 - 5; Sat: 10 - 5; Sun: 11 - 4. Classes & art supplies.

602 Commercial Ave., Red Salon Aveda

Red Salon is happy to welcome local Artist Linda Henley for the month of November. Linda has focused on painting plants in watercolor for the past twenty years. Most of her subjects have been wildflowers, but during the past two years she has started painting garden flowers and birds as well. The garden flowers, several of which are shown in this exhibit, are usually brighter than their less showy cousins found growing in the wild. When painting native plants, Linda usually works in the field and sits down next to the plant to paint. The search for subject matter has taken her into mountains, forests, deserts, and meadows. She hopes that by bringing the flowers framed and into a room she will help people to observe the amazing diversity in shape and color of these often scarcely seen plants.

520 Commercial Ave., Pelican Bay Bookstore & Coffee Shop

Elizabeth Ockwell of Anacortes is showing her elaborate drawings and etchings of fanciful architectural sites in Paris and Venice.  Ockwell’s grace with watercolor and pen/ink is outstanding. We will have our customary bites of Rosemary Sea Salt Rolls for sample. The coffee bar will be open for other purchases.

420 Commercial Ave., Scott Milo Gallery

Join Scott Milo Gallery in celebrating new oils by Lorna Libert of Bellingham.  Libert brings a new collection of boldly painted oils with her ever-popular boats, marine birds and people with character!  Also showing are oils from Melissa Jander, watercolors from Sandy Haight, encaustic paintings by Marilee Holm and watercolors and acrylics by Eric Wiegardt.  We will also feature a new assortment of fused glass by Robin Larson.

419 Commercial Ave., The Majestic Inn and Spa

Terry MacDonald 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.
