ROB SCHOUTEN GALLERY presents “Along the Water’s Edge,” a gallery of watercolors by Anacortes watercolorist Peggy Woods. This is Woods’ debut show on Whidbey. Woods’ watercolor paintings skillfully explore the play of light on water, whether glowing with strong contrast or misty and soft, creating tranquil dramas that convey the poignancy of everyday coastal life. Over her 30-year career in fine art, Woods has participated in group and solo shows, winning awards in national juried competitions. For further information, call 360-222-3070 or email info@robschoutengallery.com
